The first two PCOS flags were coined by Tumblr user aestheticlgbtq on December 20th of 2020. Teal was used as it is a color commonly associated with PCOS awareness and represents community and healing, while the circle represents wholeness and encourages a lack of shame over ones body and appearance. Purple represents ambiguity between [[wolffian]] and [[müllerian]], while white represents how PCOS can affect any gender.<ref>https://aestheticlgbtq.tumblr.com/post/638041361200906240/proposed-pcos-pride-flag-i-view-pcos-as-being-a</ref>
