History

Anfisian was coined by Arco-pluris on May 20, 2018 via blog beyond-mogai-pride-flags, the same user creating the flag on the same day.[1]

The color meanings of the flag are as follows: "Purple represents being both male and female. Pink represents wlw. Violet and blue represent wlm and mlw."[1]

The term is derived from the Greek word "αμφισημία" which means ambivalence,[1] the word according to other sources means ambiguous or ambiguity.[2][3]
