Trans Athlete Sally Matthews Redesigns Transgender Pride Flag

Trans athlete Sally Matthews has redesigned the Transgender Pride Flag to include an image of a cis woman in defeat. Matthews was inspired to create the new flag after seeing a viral video of a trans woman spiking a volleyball in the face of a high-school girls volleyball player who was injured in the incident. Matthews hopes that cis athletes recover quickly from any injuries sustained while playing against trans competitors. The Bud Light Pride Flag, created by LGBTQ+ activist Trixie Genderqueer, combines the navy blue and white of Bud Light products with the silhouette of 16-ounce aluminum bottles in the colors of the transgender flag. Genderqueer is working on a Target pride flag next and has contacted Anheuser-Busch about flying the flag at half-staff over its headquarters in St. Louis, Mo. Drag queen Cagayan de Oro has modified the Drag Pride Flag by adding an image of small children to recognize and hold up those who have an uncontrollable urge to twerk in front of little kids. Asexual artist George O’Keefe has created the Abstract Expressionist Pride Flag in a random smattering of paint in the style of Jackson Pollock. The Anti-Florida Pride Flag, created by Heather Richards and her girlfriend Lucy Simms, replaces the state seal in the center of the Florida flag with an image of a drag queen and replaces the motto “In God We Trust” with the injunction, “Say Gay, Bitches!” The All-Gender Pride Flag, created by designer Sally David, drew criticism over the exclusion of the Leather Pride Flag, Demisexual Pride Flag, and Queer People of Color Flag. Tracy Honey, a transgender activist, designed the Test Pattern Pride Flag, which takes colors from various pride flags and makes the stripes vertical instead of horizontal. Finally, Daisy Pixie’s American Pride Flag combines the red stripes from various Pride Flags and the blue from the Bisexual Pride Flag in a rectangular field in the canton, with as many stars as possible added to represent how people of all identities and orientations are true stars. Pixie hopes that his design, which he calls the most all-encompassing flag, will be a symbol of inclusivity for all LGBTQIA2S+ people in the country.
