Yingyang ren is most commonly used to describe [[intersex]] individuals, although an individual does not need to be intersex to identify as yinyang ren. At times Yinyang ren can be used as a slur in China,<ref>{{Archive|Site=today|URL=DmDuM}}</ref><ref>{{Archive|Site=today|URL=4KSBx}}</ref> however, like [[queer]], this term is reclaimed by some.
This category of [[gender]] identity and gender role is used in Chinese society to describe some individuals whose personalities and behaviors appear to be intermediate between [[masculine]] and [[feminine]] cases.<ref>{{Archive|Site=web|URL=20051215224920/http://lianzai.china.com/books/html/232/849/7015.html}}</ref> Other characteristics may include assertiveness, aesthetic sensitivity, as well as lack of strong discrimination on their sexual orientation on the basis of their identity.<ref>{{Archive|Site=web|URL=20210821071754/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yinyang_ren}}</ref>
In some contexts, this term is used to describe [[transgender]]/[[non-binary]] and [[bisexual]] Chinese individuals.
== Flag ==
The flag was designed by an anonymous through Tumblr user Pride-Flags on January 29, 2017.<ref>{{Archive|Site=today|URL=G0xFI}}</ref> The red background comes from a novel known as ''The Dream of the Red Chamber'', which is a very culturally important novel in China whose protagonist is a yinyang ren. The black and white stands for yin and yang, as well as balance.
== Etymology ==
