The original flag was designed Monica Helms, a transwoman, in 1999. “It’s a push for people to start listening to people of color in our community, start hearing what they’re saying, and really to believe them and to step up and say, ‘What can I do to help eradicate these issues in our community?,” she said according to NBC News.Ī year later, in 2018 Daniel Quasar added the colors of the transgender cause into the flag blue, white and pink.
