GENDER ID; Sources and Meanings of Symbols

Gender ID filter


There is not an official set of gender identity glyphs because there is not a finite set of identity types.  The 2 sets below have 32 and 18 symbols=types. Facebook has fluxuate from 51 to 71The first set below is by an anonymous graphic designer with the user name of caaloba-d81ds6u. It is the most referenced set on the internet, despite its redundancy I also included some symbol from the Transguide website of UC Riverside.And to lighten the tone, I included the roundabout traffic sign. These are the symbols which comprise the filter for my thesis project.
