It is associated with femininity and a connection to girlhood or female-ness (as defined in one's society). It includes cisgender, transgender, and genderqueer women. Some non-binary people also may have a partial connection to being a woman or female-ness, in which case they identify as a non-binary woman, woman-aligned, and/or fiaspec.

Flag
The woman flag was designed by Tumblr user Trintinic on December 29, 2017.[1] The dark pink represents those who identify fully as women (binary woman). Light pink represents those who identify partially as women (demigirls, etc.) White represents multigender people who have woman as one of their genders.
The female flag was designed by queerflagswithbenton some time before September 18 2020.[2] There is no known meaning.
