Genderfaun Pride Flag

Overview

To provide a paired flag for genderfaun, mirroring the structural relationship between genderfaun and genderfae as complementary fluid gender labels (one never feminine, the other never masculine). ^[1]

The pride-color-schemes Tumblr blog published the genderfaun flag in 2017, framed explicitly as a complement to the earlier genderfae flag. The post defines genderfaun as 'A fluid gender that never encompasses being female/feminine. Complimentary to Genderfae,' attributes the term coinage to shadowofthedude, and gives the design credit as 'Designed by: Anonymous.' ^[1]

Attribution notes

The term genderfaun was coined by Tumblr user shadowofthedude. The pride-color-schemes Tumblr blog published the flag in 2017 with an explicit attribution line reading 'Designed by: Anonymous.' ^[1] The flag designer is therefore documented as anonymous, not as shadowofthedude. The term coiner and the flag designer are recorded as separate facts.

Genderfaun and genderfae are paired sibling flags, with the pride-color-schemes post explicitly framing genderfaun as a complement to genderfae. The structural relationship to genderfluid 2012 Poole and to genderflux is one of template-family resemblance rather than direct evolution. ^[1]

Colors & Symbolism

The flag's only documented semantic claim is the deliberate avoidance of pinks and reds, intended to mark the absence of femininity in the genderfaun identity. The pride-color-schemes post records the color logic verbatim as 'Purposely avoiding pinks and reds to show the lack of femininity.' ^[1]

This flag has no official digital palette. Color values shown are approximate.

Per-stripe meanings are not published in the source. The pride-color-schemes post documents the design rationale as a single overall principle (avoidance of pinks and reds) rather than as stripe-by-stripe symbolism. The absence of per-stripe meanings is a documented feature of the flag's published rationale, not an oversight. ^[1]

The pride-color-schemes post does not publish hex values; the values given were sampled directly from the archived pride-color-schemes flag image. The color names follow the pride-color-schemes alt text (orange, yellow-orange, light yellow, white, mint green, greenish purple, lavender), even where the sampled hue is closer to a neighboring family. The palette deliberately excludes pinks and reds, in keeping with the design rationale. ^[1][2]

Discourse & Debates

Common confusions

• Some secondary sources upgrade shadowofthedude into the flag designer. The pride-color-schemes post itself attributes the design only to 'Anonymous' and credits shadowofthedude with the term coinage. ^[1]

Genderfaun is sometimes paired with the term gendermars in secondary sources as a synonym. The pride-color-schemes post does not introduce gendermars as part of the genderfaun definition. ^[1]

Editorial note

The archive distinguishes term coinage from flag design. shadowofthedude coined the term genderfaun. The genderfaun flag is documented in its source as 'Designed by: Anonymous.' These are recorded as separate facts and not collapsed into a single attribution.
