Pridearchive's Paragender/Paranonbinary flag has the following color meanings: "Grey: Partial gender. White: Lack of gender. Yellow: Nonbinary. Green: A colour near yellow on the colour wheel, this symbolises the “near-ness” of paranonbinary".[3] Many are uncomfortable using strwbryfemme's Paragender flag due to their exclusionist and steliphobic beliefs.[5]
