“Fuck it. Genderqueer tranvestic flag because that’s what feels closest to me.

[ID: the genderqueer flag, which has three stripes. From top to bottom, the colors are, lavender, white, then green. There’s an arrow-shaped symbol overlayed. The arrow-shaped symbol is a periwinkle color, made by combining the colors of the trans flag.]”

“Transvestite Pride Flag

Transvestite is an historical word and has been used before the transsexual coinage, often to describe transgender people grouping them with cross-dressers and drags (drag queens & kings), specially trans women and she/her gays. Description shares transvestic, cross-dressing and cross-dreaming.

In English it’s seen as derogatory nowadays. -vestite derives -vestire, trans- meaning across as in transverse. Although it reminds travesti (as well as transvestigênere (transvestigender) and travestilidade (travestility)) from romance languages, it’s not essentially the same because West Iberian classifies travesti as a gender category.

This is also a word used in the Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries (STAR), which was a gay, gender non-conforming and transgender activist organization.
