Hello Wikimedia! I am autistic intersex queer with a special interest in flags. I draw SVG flags and gender symbols using the drawsvg library of Python, and will accept requests to convert flags from png/jpg to svg.

Sometimes when I post flags/infogarphics to this website I'll put up a little appendix about methodology.

  • User:Intervex/PrideColours: Infographics about what LGBTQIA+ pride flags mean with the data tables & info on methods.
  • User:Intervex/DisabledIntersex: I ran a survey on how disability & intersex flags should be combined for different ways that intersex and disability intersect. Data tables & info on matching flags to meanings.

To Do

Tumblr archiving

[edit]

For each of these tumblrs, go through flags of interest, check if the flag is actually in use, and then make SVG version.

Flags I want to upload but uncertain about licensing

Autistic Pride Flags

[edit]

I have been hyperfixating on-and-off about autistic pride flags. I'm bothered that so many of them use a solid white lemniscate, a symbol of the Métis. And as an intersex person I'm wary about flag designs that use a solid gold background, since that's a theme of intersex flags.

The metis infinity issue feels extra frustrating because there are so many ways to style an infinity symbol. I've hence been on a little quest to explore different ways of making infinity symbols. I've carved out User:Intervex/Infinity as a place for me to save different kinds of infinity symbols.

Inclusive options for autistic/ND flags

[edit]

Autistic pride flags that are visually distinct

[edit]

Flags that won't get mistaken for other groups (Metis, intersex) nor would obvious derivatives of their flags fall into the category.

ND flags that don't use lemniscates

[edit]

Neurodiversity flags that, if they use an infinity symbol, use a loop rather than a solid lemniscate curve. Using only infinity loops for neurodivergence helps to differentiate from the Metis flag.
