Trans+ History Week 2024: The fascinating origin story of the transgender symbol
Briefly

The symbol for the transgender community is a pictogram combining traditional gender symbols for cisgender men and women, along with the symbol for androgyny, designed in the 1990s by Holly Boswell, Wendy Parker, and Nancy R. Nangeroni.
Nancy Nangeroni, one of the designers, emphasized that the symbol 'includes everyone, excluding none' and 'represents the wholeness of a society, which includes the transgender.'
The symbol can signify being 'transgender and proud' or showing support as a friend of a transgender person, representing honor and integrity, according to Nancy Nangeroni.
