Flag
The hyperandrogenism flag was designed by Tumblr user distinct-disability-flags on or before June 23, 2020. The testosterone molecule is used as an umbrella for androgen hormones and the ring is for individuals whose hyperandrogenism is intersex in nature, representing their wholeness and bodily autonomy (derived from the intersex flag). Red represents the courage to love oneself, however that love takes shape. Pink represents how hyperandrogenism does not diminish the femininity of those with a feminine gender and/or gender expression. White represents the countless number of genders people with hyperandrogenism can have. Dark gold represents the large population of individuals thought to have hyperandrogenism (~95 million) wishing to thrive in their own equally worthy lives.
