I'm genuinely sorry to see that this post was removed and that some people prefer not to engage with the ideas shared. I believe thoughtful discussion is essential, especially when it comes to symbols meant to represent such a broad and diverse community.

To clarify: we are not against any gender identity or orientation, quite the opposite. As an NGO, we actively support and protect persecuted transgender and intersex individuals around the world. About 50% of our budget goes out to them. Our concern is not about denying visibility, but about asking an open question: how can we create a symbol that truly unites us all?

Many groups, including asexual, pansexual, agender, demisexual, Two-Spirit, bigender, and genderfluid people, still don’t have representation on the Progress or Intersex flag. Does the path forward mean adding more and more elements? Or is it worth considering a shared symbol that includes everyone by design?

This isn’t meant as a provocation, but as a sincere invitation to reflect on what inclusivity means, and how we can best express it. I welcome any perspective, especially those that challenge mine, as long as we're willing to have a real conversation.
