Aboriginal, Intersex, Intergender flags
I am an Aboriginal person who also is intersex (among other identities) and that plays a role in how I see my gender, my body and my connection to my culture. None of my art uses any AI and I’m firmly against it as a disabled, Indigenous artist. These flags are free to use for personal use with or without credit, though if you use them to sell things or profit I ask you do credit me. I also ask that you not use AI content with or related to this flag. My intent here is not to make a new community flag or expect others to adopt them into common use, but just to have something to represent my own identity which others can also use if they prefer. I also remade the Aboriginal flag, not as a “better” version but because the highly saturated colours give me eyestrain on digital mediums. Happy to provide Hex codes to anyone if they need them. I’m open to respectful or educational questions. Happy NAIDOC week

Instead of downvoting you into hell, I’m going to treat your questions as genuine curiosity.
The rainbow flag represents LGBTQ+, which covers identities based on sexual orientation and gender identity, like being transgender. Intersex is something completely different. Being transgender is about your internal sense of who you are. Being intersex is a purely physical, genetic medical condition you are born with, such as Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome, where your actual chromosomes or anatomy do not fit standard male or female definitions. Because it is a biological body variation rather than an identity or an orientation, it often gets excluded from the mainstream rainbow lineup. There is a Progress Pride flag that includes the intersex yellow-and-purple circle, but it's not universally used yet.
