Flags for types of intersex variations

I made some pride flags for different types of intersex variations 💜
Bright versions on the right, sensory friendlier versions on the left.

Environmentally intersex: having an intersex variation caused by prenatal conditions, such as in utero exposure to diethylstilbestrol or synthetic progestins.

The intersex flag, which has a yellow background and a purple ring in the middle. But inside the ring is a cartoon icon of a placenta, which is light red with dark red vasculature. The placenta is attached to the ring in the lower left, evoking the ring being a womb.

Same flag but with less saturated colours.

The flag features a placenta. The placenta icon used is by onclang and is CC BY 3.0. As such, I’m releasing this flag as CC-BY-4.0.
💜

Genetically intersex: having an intersex variation with any genetic basis! Examples include 46,XX with SRY and CAH.

The intersex flag, but the ring is instead a ring of DNA.

The flag uses this symbol by Koson Rattanaphan and is CC BY 3.0. As such, I’m releasing this flag as CC-BY-4.0.
💜

Chromosomally intersex: having an intersex variation caused by having different sex chromosomes than 46,XX or 46,XY! Examples include Trisomy XXY and Monosomy X.

Intersex flag, but inside the usual ring is a depiction on anaphase. There are finger like blobs on the left and right, kind of reaching towards each other, separated by these small dotted lines. The blobs are chromosomes.

The flag depicts anaphase (the stage in mitosis when chromosomes move to opposite sides of the about-to-divide cell). If a chromosome winds up on the “wrong” side nondisjunction happens, which causes chromosome aneuploidies. Based on this CC-BY-SA 4.0 image from WC. As such, this flag is also CC-BY-SA 4.0.
💜

Genitally intersex: being intersex and having any sort of genital variation! Examples include ambiguous genitalia, hypospadias, micropenis, labial fusion, and vaginal atresia.

Intersex flag, but what's inside it looks kind of like a moth. On further inspection, there are two big peachy blobs with a purple phallic shape in between them, and a red ovoid inside the phallic structure. The top of the phallic shape has a green head.

The icon in the middle is based on the first diagram in this infographic on human genital development. It depicts the genital tubercule before any sexual differentiation. I chose the colours so that it would look like a combination of the 🍑 and 🍆 emojis, which made me happy 😅. This one is public domain.
💜

Pelvically intersex: being intersex and having any sort of variations of the internal sex organs! Examples include gonadal variations like ovotestes and gonadal dysgenesis, and ductal variations like Müllerian agenesis and PMDS.

What looks like a cartoon of two people waving side by side. There are two ovoids in the middle, and thick Y shaped lines starting on their outsides and meeting together at the bottom.

The icon in the middle is based on the first diagram in this infographic about sexual differentiation, depicting both the Wolffian and Müllerian ducts with the the gonads, before any sexual differentiation happens. It’s based on a CC-BY-3.0 image by Teixeira, Rueda & Pru, so this flag is also CC-BY-3.0.
💜

Hormonally intersex: being intersex and having any sort of hormonal variation. This is a new variant on the flag I made earlier this year, putting it in the ring to be like the other flags here. It is public domain.

Intersex flag, but inside is an abstracted shape of a steroid hormone. It's four hexagons packed together.

Square versions for avatars & SVG versions available here.

Thank you to @scifimagpie and @goingrampant for feedback on prototypes!
