The stripes next to them are pink, the traditional color for baby girls. The stripes at the top and bottom are light blue, the traditional color for baby boys. Helms describes the meaning of the transgender pride flag as follows: The flag's design represents the transgender community, and consists of five horizontal stripes: two light blue, two pink, and one white in the center.
The flag was created by American trans woman Monica Helms in 1999, and was first shown at a pride parade in Phoenix, Arizona in 2000.
The most prominent transgender flag design is the 'Transgender Pride Flag', used as a symbol of transgender pride and diversity, and transgender rights.
