Description
Flag Description
Until recently, the transgender community has been using a lobster emoji to represent itself. (Lobsters against Transphobia started using the symbol because lobsters share both male and female characteristics.)
But in 2020 Unicode announced the release of 117 new emojis. Among the new additions are the blue, pink and white transgender flag emoji and the trans symbol.
The trans flag represents the transgender community and consists of five horizontal stripes: two light blue, two pinks, and one white in the center.
The transgender pride flag first appeared in the LGBT pride parade in Phoenix, AZ in 2000. It was designed by a trans woman named Monica Helms in 1999. Monica describes the meaning of the flag this way: “The stripes at the top and bottom are light blue, the traditional color for baby boys. The stripes next to them are pink, the traditional color for baby girls. The stripe in the middle is white, for those who are intersex, transitioning or consider themselves having a neutral or undefined gender.”
The trans flag pattern was designed to appear “correct” no matter which way it flays, symbolizing “us finding correctness in our lives”.
Helms donated the first transgender flag to the Smithsonian National Museum of America History in 2014.
A Pride flag refers to a flag that represents any segment of the LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer) community. The most recognizable is the Rainbow flag. The LGBTQ community generally celebrates pride, diversity, individuality, and sexuality.
There are many more pride flags representing more specific groups within the community. For example there is also a Bisexual Pride Flag, a Pansexual Pride Flag, an Asexual Pride Flag, and many others.

International Transgender Day of Visibility occurs on March 31st every year. This annual event celebrates transgender individuals and raises awareness.
There is also the Transgender Day of Remembrance, on November 20. The week before is Transgender Awareness Week. Began in 1999, TDOR serves to honor all transgender people whose lives have been lost to violence.
“Transgender Day of Remembrance seeks to highlight the losses we face due to anti-transgender bigotry and violence. I am no stranger to the need to fight for our rights, and the right to simply exist is first and foremost. With so many seeking to erase transgender people—sometimes in the most brutal ways possible—it is vitally important that those we lose are remembered, and that we continue to fight for justice.” (Transgender Day of Remembrance founder Gwendolyn Ann Smith)
In 1952, Transvestia: The Journal of the American Society for Equality in Dress was published by Virginia Pierce, among others. This is generally considered the start of the movement. You can read more about the history of transgender activism.
