Gender Diversity

My name is Duke, and my pronouns are He/Him. I’m a cisgender male gay man dedicated to promoting inclusivity and understanding within the LGBTQ+ community. In that spirit, I’ve designed a simple yet stylish stripe-in-the-round head/neck accessory pattern as a way to demonstrate my solidarity with those whose gender identities are often marginalized.

With every purchase of this pattern, I am committed to donating 80% of the proceeds to “My Sistah’s House (MSH)” located in Memphis, Tennessee. This remarkable organization provides vital services such as emergency sheltering, advocacy training, and health services specifically tailored for the Trans community in Memphis. The remaining 20% of the sales will be allocated to cover essential fees for platforms like LoveCrafts, PayPal, Tech Edit, and Adobe Creative Cloud.

This knitting pattern features three unique color schemes that represent various gender identities: Transgender, Genderfluid, and Nonbinary. These color palettes draw inspiration from the widely recognized LGBTQ+ Pride flags, serving as powerful symbols of diversity and acceptance.

Each color in these schemes embodies significant meanings:
- ? Red/Pink: Symbolizes Femininity
- ? Blue/Aqua: Represents Masculinity
- ? White: Denotes Neutral or undefined gender
- ? Black: Signifies a lack of gender
- ? Yellow: Refers to an outside or non-binary gender reference

By crafting this head/neck accessory using this pattern, not only will you create a beautiful piece that showcases your unique style, but you will also be contributing to a meaningful cause that supports marginalized gender identities. Join me in spreading awareness and acceptance within the knitting community while making a positive impact. Embrace the artistry of knitting with purpose and pride!
