The Non-aligned-sapphic 2017 design is the version most commonly reproduced in nonbinary orientation flag guides. [1] Alternate versions have appeared, including a redesign by Reddit user frcgdad_ in September 2020 and an anonymous wiki user's April 2021 version featuring a pink poppy flower. [1]

Trixic is part of a triad of nonbinary orientation terms, alongside toric (nonbinary attraction to men) and enbian (nonbinary attraction to nonbinary people). These three terms collectively provide a framework for describing the orientation of nonbinary people without defaulting to binary-gendered orientation labels.

Lineage

The trixic flag draws on the nonbinary flag's purple palette to signal nonbinary identity, while adding pink (attraction to women) and orange (further nonbinary identity signaling). It forms a natural triad with the toric and enbian flags, which together provide an orientation vocabulary for nonbinary people. [1]

Colors & Symbolism

The flag represents trixic identity, the experience of being a nonbinary person attracted to women. The color scheme moves from purple through pink to orange, with purple and orange anchoring nonbinary identity on both ends and pink in the center marking attraction to women. [1]
