Flags and Symbols
The original gastrogender flag was created on the 1st of October, 2015, by Tumblr user jhendurs.[2] The reclaimed version of the flag was created on the 6th of October, 2019, by Tumblr user mogai-moth.[3] The genderfood flag was created on the 26th of January, 2019, by Tumblr user flurrigender.[7]
The foodic flag was created on the 16th of March, 2021, by Tumblr user genderheaven. The meanings for the colors in the foodic flag are: yellow for xenic qualities and likening one's gender to something unrelated to the gender binary, dark green for plants that produce food, red for meat, and brown for dirt, wheat, and the browning of cooked food. The symbol in the middle is the symbol of main-belt asteroid 26 Proserpina, and is modelled after a pomegranate.[6]
