FURFAG
[PT: furfag]
— a flag for people who reclaim furfag, a derogatory term used against furries to imply they are queer. meant to be used ONLY by anyone who reclaims the f slur and is alterhuman, a furry, a non-human part, etc.
— very self-indulgent, open to requests for alternative symbols or alterhuman identities I missed

I decided to start work on a sapphic flag, as the original one did not feel inclusive to masculine presenting sapphics. The inclusive sapphic flag also felt too random for me to feel aligned, so I spent time researching a flag design
Excuse any spelling mistakes, English isn't my first language.
Info below. Original thread here.
The poetry of Sapphos often included talk of violet crowns, with one of her famous poems reading ;
` … Many crowns of violets,
roses and crocuses
…together you set before more
and many scented wreaths
made from blossoms
around your soft throat… `
Violets historically are considered a symbol of sapphic love and the LGBT movement, and are seen in pop culture, such as the cult classic lesbian movie, Bound. A 1926 play also involved a woman sending violets to another, as a potential nod to Sapphos. When the poem was censored / boycotted, women would send violets in support.
To say violets were not a part of LGBT + , and primarily spaphic / lesbian history would be a false statement.
I colour picked from violets themselves, primarily the African and common violet. One for their inclusion of white, and the other for its range of hues from more blue to magenta. I felt they could align with the various presentations seen within sapphic culture, as I myself ID as transmasculine / presently as a soft butch. There are those who are transfemme, femme, masc, androgynous, etc., and this various spectrum of colours I feel could align with how the community is not just one, but various shade of violet.
I spent time researching LGBT history, and have come up with meanings for these specific colours. They were carefully chosen for both traditional colour meanings, as well as symbolisms that align with the LGBT+ community.
From lavander to pink, both colours have a history of representing the community, and have become symbols reclaimed. From sapphos flowers, to the pink triangle, it is important to remember our history and struggles. Pink triangles itself was used as a symbol for transwomen, as an identifier for example [ as well as gay individuals, but this isn't about them at this time ] , but have been reclaimed to represent lgbt+ rights and our struggles. It is important to never forget those who came before us.
Each colour was picked based off traditional meanings, as well as identifying traits of the community.
From top to bottom, these colour meanings are ;
1. Femininity, health.
Pink is associated with femininity, so this is for the purely femme presenting individuals, whether trans, nb, or however they ID. It also is the colour of love, and health [ ex , ` everything is rosy ` meaning good ] .
2. Love, compassion.
A lighter shade of pink is usually associated with love, and with love comes compassion and understanding.
3. Youth and age.
From our lives comes the fact that, we as sapphics, lesbians, etc. know that deep down, this is who we truly are. Whether you're young, or come to the realization later, we live life as our authentic self. May we grow old and happy.
4. Limitless potential.
With those who are not afraid to break the gender / sexual binary, and present in ways uncaring of societal norms.
Whether trans, nonbinary, asexual, or uncaring of labels, I hope you find who you truly are.
5. Soft masculinity.
To be soft and masculine is frowned upon in society, but some of us present in ways that we deem just right. It is an oxymoron on many levels to those who do not understand, but we are indifferent and stand tall.
6. Wisdom.
With our history, we can learn and grow, it is important to never forget it. Ever on we march to assure that we are treated as equals.
7. Serenity, masculinity.
A nod to the original flag that brought us here, while also representing the other side of the spectrum for fully masc individuals. Once again, this is for those in the trans umbrella, or comfortable in their gender.
Sapphics or anyone who falls into that general category.
TERF / SWERFS / anyone not inclusive of the trans community are not permitted.
Please do not use if m - spec.
