Or alternatively: The Transgender flag was inspired by DS9, as creator wanted to be stepped on by Sisko and others :O

Unfortunately unintentional. DS9's last episode was '99 The first time the trans flag was flown was 2000

HeyOP
"The transgender flag was created by trans woman Monica Helmes in 1999." One may have influenced the other.

It's theoretically possible the DS9 episode may have inspired Monica Helmes, but I would be surprised. Taking inspiration from a carpet that's barely on scene seems unlikely. Though it looks like the carpet is at least from 1994, as there's an episode with it. https://www.reddit.com/r/trans/comments/tuvtkv/star_trek_deep_space_nine_and_the_origins_of_the/
