Hello Wikimedia! I am autistic+ADHD intersex queer with a special interest in flags. I draw SVG flags and gender symbols using the drawsvg library of Python, and will accept requests to convert flags from png/jpg to svg.

Some of the code I use to create flags is now available on github:

Sometimes when I post flags/infogarphics to this website I'll put up a little appendix about methodology.

  • User:Intervex/PrideColours: Infographics about what LGBTQIA+ pride flags mean with the data tables & info on methods.
  • User:Intervex/DisabledIntersex: I ran a survey on how disability & intersex flags should be combined for different ways that intersex and disability intersect. Data tables & info on matching flags to meanings.

To Do

  • Follow up on the deletion/TOO/sourcing/etc requests I have made about Indigenous flags affected by US/Canada copyright law. See User:Intervex/Indigenous for my progress going through them.
  • Now that I know about the {{Attrib|}} template, update my own past uploads to use it to link to source files
  • Work through Category:Fake_SVG and fix the pride flags in this category (see next subsection)
  • Sensory friendly versions of intersex flags
  • Perisex trans flag(s)? Wolffian/Mullerian flags?
  • Category:Flag images that should use vector graphics
  • Category:Symbol images that should use vector graphics
  • Add symbols to Astronomy, astrology and gender symbols as I see them
  • Archive more intersex flags - see requests from Tumblr users below
  • Archive more disability flags
  • Get up some more infinity *loops* for making autistic flags with. Also maybe some interlocking hexagons in the style of ASAN?
  • Categorize LGBTQ and Disability flags by colour
  • Go back through my old uploads and tag the ones I made in Python as such vs the ones made in Inkscape

Fake SVGs I wanna replace with real ones

Note: check flag is in use before fixing given issue with Czech pride flags.

Flags I've received requests on tumblr to SVG and upload

Tumblr archiving

For each of these tumblrs, go through flags of interest, check if the flag is actually in use, and then make SVG version.

Flags I want to upload but uncertain about licensing

License tags: {{PD-flag}} {{PD-shape}}

Add to png/jpg/etc when there's a SVG version available: {{Vector version available|New Filename.svg}}

For flag colour combos: {{cat color flags|black|blue|yellow}}

For indicating I made an SVG in Python: |other fields={{Igen|Python|+|u=Intervex|code=See: https://github.com/intervexual/drawpride/blob/main/drawflags/forcommons.py}}

Autistic Pride Flags

I have been hyperfixating on-and-off about autistic pride flags. I'm bothered that so many of them use a solid white lemniscate, a symbol of the Métis. And as an intersex person I'm wary about flag designs that use a solid gold background, since that's a theme of intersex flags.

The metis infinity issue feels extra frustrating because there are so many ways to style an infinity symbol. I've hence been on a little quest to explore different ways of making infinity symbols. I've carved out User:Intervex/Infinity as a place for me to save different kinds of infinity symbols.

Inclusive options for autistic/ND flags

Autistic pride flags that are visually distinct

Flags that won't get mistaken for other groups (Metis, intersex) nor would obvious derivatives of their flags fall into the category.

ND flags that don't use lemniscates

Neurodiversity flags that, if they use an infinity symbol, use a loop rather than a solid lemniscate curve. Using only infinity loops for neurodivergence helps to differentiate from the Metis flag.
