Helms describes the meaning of the transgender pride flag as follows: The flag's design represents the transgender community, and consists of five horizontal stripes: two light blue, two pink, and one white in the center.
The flag was created by American trans woman Monica Helms in 1999, and was first shown at a pride parade in Phoenix, Arizona in 2000. The most prominent transgender flag design is the 'Transgender Pride Flag', used as a symbol of transgender pride and diversity, and transgender rights.
