Eunuch symbol or flag?

Post by evolve (imported) »

What is the most commonly used symbol or flag for the Eunuch Identity? I’m generally not too caught up with labels or identities, but it would be nice if there was a symbol of some sort that represented this tight knit community. It would be nice to be able to express my this pride in subtle ways with a symbol we can relate to.

The only times I ever tried to symbolize my eunuch desires, I did it as a joke which I expected nobody to get, and nobody did. I just bought, and wore, a T-shirt with a picture of a Mounds candy bar on it. As in the old advertisement, "Almond Joy's got nuts, Mounds don't". Pretty sure it's a line that's been used around here in the past, but out in public, NOBODY thinks about a Mounds bar that way.

I have thought that a simple empty peanut shell might be a good image. Just two halves of a shell, nothing more.

Kinda like my avatar! Maybe I should have it printed on a T shirt.

I'm not sure which community member created it, but many eunuchs have been getting a "broken male" symbol as a tattoo. It's the widely recognized male symbol, with the arrow separated and set off a bit with a space between it and the rest of the circle. Think of it as a penis being removed and leaving a bit of a stump as what it looks like, but using a basic circle and arrow.

Here is a rendering. I have a friend with this with the symbol outlined like this, and in the white area, he put rainbow flag coloring in, the same order as on the flag, but I think the yellow got short changed, because he wrote the word EUNUCH in big block letters across the center of the circle, and it took most of the spot the yellow on the flag would be in the design.

That is the only symbol I have seen that denoted being a eunuch. I think that one of the members of the archive used it on his page instead of a picture.

You can always paste that transparent broken-arrow icon over the pride flag of your choice.

Hetero-, Homo-, a-sexual, doesn't matter.

I had found another artist had come up with an amusing take on the idea with a restaurant franchise called Nooters

I don't get caught up with labels either. Seems to me if we have a need to stand up on a soap box and yell for everybody to look at us we have some other problems. While I may be a eunuch/nullo I don't shout it out to the so many that really have no reason to know.

I just let folks think what they like without influencing their personal views. Make no mistake, if somebody asks specific questions about my sex I answer honestly as that is my personality. If a guy or gal comes on to me I let them and they can respond to what they find however they like. (I've never been disappointed or harmed physically) I am me and don't find the need to proclaim on the mountain top that I'm this or that.In other words I have no reason for a symbol or flag to force myself or my beliefs on others. I'm not looking for anybody's approval and if somebody doesn't like who I am that's just too bad for them. But I can see how a lot of folks need a symbol or flag to proclaim who they are in our current society of identity politics. I just want to play nice with everybody as a hopeful example so others will follow and play nice as well.

Good for you, but not everyone is that way. The exact opposite that actually kind of tickled me was this happy looking little grandpa type (ie my age) at a restaurant who had on a gold-red-green striped stocking cap that said Vietnam Vet, a pullover gold-red-green stripped sweater that said Vietnam Vet across the chest and down each sleeve and gold-red-green striped sweat pants that said Vietnam Vet down each leg. I'm glad he was proud of something he had done in his life, but it did seem a little over the top.

I tend to use the Kye Rowan nonbinary flag. What it lacks in eunuch-specificity it makes up with growing recognition:
