Created by Morgan CarpenterĀ of Intersex Human Rights AustraliaĀ in 2013, the intersex flag is a purple circle on a yellow background. New Zealand is the first country where the intersex flag was raised outside the national parliament in 2017.

*šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡³Intersex people are individuals born with any of several sex characteristicsĀ including chromosomeĀ patterns, gonads, or genitalsĀ that, according to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, "do not fit typical binary notions of male or female bodiesā€. It has been estimated 1 to 2% of the population may be intersex (Fauso-Sterling, 2000). Increasingly referred to as ā€œDifferences of Sex Developmentā€, intersex traits are traditionally classified as ā€œDisorders of Sex Developmentā€ (DSD) in medical literature. Intersex infants and children, such as those with ambiguous outer genitalia, may be surgically and/or hormonally altered and sometimes sterilized. The World Health Organization, the Australian Parliament and German and Swiss ethics institutes have recognized these practices as human rights abuses. The Council of Europe recognized the right for intersex persons not to undergo sex assignment treatment in 2015.Ā Few countries protect intersex people from discrimination.
