The most commonly used intersex flag was created by Morgan Carpenter in 2013.<ref>[http://ihra.org.au/22773/an-intersex-flag/ Intersex Human Rights Australia: An Intersex Flag]</ref> Yellow and purple were chosen for the design as alternatives to the strongly-gendered colors of blue and pink. The purple circle in the middle symbolizes "wholeness and completeness" as well as "the right to be who and how we want to be."
Line 143 ⟶ 139:
Intersex is sometimes also represented with a combination of the male and female symbols (⚥ or ⚨), though these symbols are also commonly used to represent bigender and androgyne respectively.
