“IGM/ISM, FGM/FSM, & MGM/MSM flags

(Before reading this, we recommend reading and reblogging our intersex guide! It is important to spread awareness and educate about intersex bodies.)

Tw: talks of bodily mutilation.

We decided to make flags for those that have suffered from genital mutilation, reproductive mutilation, or hormone abuse.

The IGM (intersex genital mutilation)/ISM (intersex sex mutilation) flags. Yellow and dark purple represents being born intersex. Black represents violation of consent and negative mental health affects (dysphoria, dysmorphia, depression, etc.) The red intersex symbol with the slash represents the negative affects that came from mutilation (scarring, chronic pain, difficulty urinating, reproductive issues, etc.) Blue, pink, and white are for victims that identify as transgender later in life. Green and light purple are for victims that identify as altersex later in life.

The FGM (female genital mutilation)/FBM (female breast mutilation)/FSM (female sex mutilation) flag.

Dark pink represents being born female. Black represents violation of consent and negative mental health affects (dysphoria, dysmorphia, depression, etc.) The red female symbol with the slash represents the negative affects that came from mutilation (scarring, chronic pain, difficulty urinating, reproductive issues, etc.) Blue, pink, and white are for victims that identify as transgender later in life. Green and purple are for victims that identify as altersex later in life.

The MGM (male genital mutilation)/MSM (male sex mutilation) flag.

Dark blue represents being born male. Black represents violation of consent and negative mental health affects (dysphoria, dysmorphia, depression, etc.) The red male symbol with the slash represents the negative affects that came from mutilation (scarring, chronic pain, difficulty urinating, reproductive issues, etc.) Blue, pink, and white are for victims that identify as transgender later in life. Green and purple are for victims that identify as altersex later in life.”
