Intersex Variation Flags

exterspadias

[pt: exterspadias]

an umbrella term for urethras which protrude past the genital tissue. most common in vulvas. this can include both congenital and acquired causes. possible causes can include:

urethral prolapse/caruncle

scar tissue from IGM, physical trauma, infection, fistula, lesion, genital surgery, and/or frequent urinary tract infection

phallic duplication

urethral developmental differences due to genital and/or bladder variations

synspadias

[pt: synspadias]

a urethral variation in which the urethra protrudes past the genital tissue and is surrounded by a bumpy, uneven texture. appears to be most common in individuals with vulvar hypospadias and low confluence persistent urogenital sinus (PUGS). seems to typically be caused by frequent, chronic, or severe UTI's causing scar tissue to build up over time, creating an inconsistent texture. can also occur due to a plethora of other scar-based causes.

perispadias

[pt: perispadias]

a urethral variation in which the urethra protrudes past the genital tissue and is surrounded by a uniform, smooth texture. appears to typically occur in individuals with vulvas and hyperandrogenism due to the developmental pathway for the urethra growing to compensate a phallus. can also occur due to other developmental differences and/or later in life from urethral prolapse.

jacobs syndrome flag [XYY chromosomes]

[pt: jacobs syndrome flag (XYY chromosomes)]

jacobs syndrome is a name for when someone is born with XYY chromosomes. its associated with increased height, increased risk of neurodivergencies like ADHD, autism, and speech delays, and may or may not include struggles with infertility. most people with jacobs syndrome are never diagnosed!

Forced HRT Survivor Flag

I was debating posting something so vulnerable but I’ve made more peace with this part of my life so I’ve decided to share this flag I made.

I’m a survivor of forced HRT. In other words, I was put under HRT that I didn’t fully agree to all in the name of me maintaining society’s perisex views of femininity. (Thankfully I’ve taken full control of my medical care and am feeling much better <3)

The budding rose in the middle alongside the petals falling from it represent forced change yet still remaining beautiful and whole all the same.

While undergoing forced HRT, it was very hard for me to stay alive due to the disabling side effects of hormones I wasn’t supposed to be on so I added a heart rate symbol. Lastly I made it purple due to it being a more gender neutral color.

Urethra Variations

pt: Urethra Variations

My version of a flag for those with urethra related variants.

taglist: @radiomogai @houndsic @narc-am @dragonpride17 @marrow-coining @metacoining @sugaryvexillogy , ask to be added or removed

(This is a reclaimatory pride flag. Be normal.)

A term used for individuals with intersex variations, often types of hypogonadism, who physically appear like eunuchs. Even today, many medical sources describe some intersex variations with terms like "eunuchoid(ism)".

This flag is for any intersex individual who feels "congenital eunuch" applies to them in whatever capacity, regardless of assigned sex at birth, genital appearance, socially imposed gender/s, current gender identity, etcetera.

Brief flag design explainations under the cut. Warning that the H-slur is written in full under here twice.

"

Colors weren't picked super deliberately with seperate meanings, intentionally supposed to be a compliment to the reclaimed hermaphrodite flag first and foremost to oppose its bright & warm colors. Other representations can be the blues indicative of the historical usage of "eunuch" being almost exclusively applied to individuals with male-typed bodies, and the dark & cool colors representative of intersex variations that cause hypogonadism, hypo/apubescence, agenitalia, and other "neutral" traits; as opposed to a word like hermaphrodite usually associated with mixed or "androgynous" traits. Pluto symbol is also essentially just a compliment for the astrological Mercury (occasionally Earth) symbol used for intersex folks, mostly inspired by my intersex headcanons blog where dwarf planet Pluto was suggested. TL;DR I just thought it would be neat. Symbol edit was not made by me but a friend on Discord because I was struggling otherwise tysm Raizel /gen /pos <3

[PT: 5-ard flag. end PT]

a flag for those who have 5-Alpha Reductase Deficiency. I have this and have yet to see a flag for it, so I figured I'd make one.

urethral duplication flag, for anyone who has duplicate urethras

urethral triplication flag, for anyone who has triplicate urethras

urethral triplication does fall under the urethral duplication umbrella, but wanted to make a separate flag anyway. i found out that i have urethral triplication and i havent even really met anyone with even duplicate urethras, so i made this in hopes people like me feel less alone as sappy as it sounds lol. the darker colors on the outside of both flags represent deviation from the norm. the middle colors of each flag represents the duplication and triplication of said norm. the inner colors of both represent bodily acceptance. the blues being duplication and purple being triplication respectively

these flags are for people who bodily have urethral duplication and triplication exclusively, radqueers this is not a flag for you. please contact me before adding to any wikis

@radiomogai for archive, image id under the cut for copy/pasting needs

for bodily intersex people to describe their genitalia as altered or created due to igm, forced hormone treatment, and other similar affects. term is intended to be neutral and a way to acknowledge having atypical genitals or created genitals due to igm.

atelo-vagina, atelo-clitoris

atelo-penis, atelo-testes

description and meanings below the cut ↓

(tw for mentions of genitalia and igm)

chimerism flag

[pt: chimerism pride flag]

chimerism is used to describe those who have two or more sets of DNA due to embryos merging during fetal development. traits of chimerism vary widely, such as splotches of different skin colors, different eye colors, varying facial and body features, ambiguous genitalia, ovotestes, gonadal dysgenesis, etc.

an icon of a chimera and two mixing splotches (meant to appear similar to a globe) were both included for those who do not like the chimera imagery!

a version with the intersex circle was included for those who consider themselves intersex due to their chimerism. someone with chimerism can have mixed XX/XY, XX/XX, XY/XY, and many other combinations of sex chromosomes.

green was chosen for nature. yellow was chosen for community and genderlessness. white was chosen for wholeness. blue was chosen for unity. purple was chosen from the intersex flag.

1: Some people have more than one urethra. (urethral duplication. sometimes even urethral triplication + etc) So it's not always just two holes down there.

2: Some people's urethras are located higher than typical. (epispadias)

3: Some people with vulvas do not have a vagina. (this can be as a result of many different things, and has many different names)

And more. Hypospadias is important to talk about, but y'know, there's more urethral, vulvar, and vaginal intersex traits out there that deserve to be mentioned too.

Made this, hope it helps a little.

A person can also be born with any combination of these without the others.

Macrogenitalia is a medical term for abnormally large genitals or parts of genitals. It is not strictly an intersex trait, but it often is a result of many intersex variations, especially variations related to hormone overproduction.

Macropenis

A macropenis, macrophallus, or megalopenis is an unusually large penis. The largest recorded human penis was that of cisgender male Jonah Falcon, which measured 13.5 inches erect.

Those with a macropenis may experience light-headedness when erect, due to the amount of blood rushing down.

Macroorchidism

Macroorchidism is the condition of having abnormally large testes. This usually causes a higher production of male hormones, or is caused by the overproduction of male hormones.

This trait is usually due to Fragile X syndrome.

Macrovagina

A macrovagina is a non-medical slang term for an abnormally large vagina. This includes the labia, clitoris, or vaginal canal.

Labial hypertrophy

Labial hypertrophy is the condition of having abnormally large labia. This may cause discomfort when wearing tight clothes or friction sensitivity that is higher than usual. This may happen due to pregnancy, intersex traits, and/or puberty.

Clitoromegaly

Clitoromegaly is the condition of having an abnormally large clitoris (a macroclitoris), possibly resembling a small penis. This may be due to intersex traits, overexposure of testosterone, or HRT within transmasculine people. This may be considered a subset of ambiguous genitalia, and one born with this trait may be assigned female or male, depending on the appearance of their genitalia.

Macropenis

48,XYYY syndrome: a rare Y trisomic (chromosome number) intersex variation characterized by mild-moderate developmental delay (especially speech), regular to mild intellectual disability, large, irregular teeth with delicate enamel, tall stature, and acne. Radioulnar stenosis and clinodactyly have also been associated. Children generally present typical genitalia, while hypogonadism and infertility is frequently reported in adults. It’s often described as CTM karyotype with two extra Y.

Klinefelter syndrome, where a person has XXY chromosome. This is probably the most common intersex condition, according to most records.

I made some pride flags for different types of intersex variations 💜 Bright versions on the right, sensory friendlier versions on the left.

Environmentally intersex: having an intersex variation caused by prenatal conditions, such as in utero exposure to diethylstilbestrol or synthetic progestins.

The flag features a placenta. The placenta icon used is by onclang and is CC BY 3.0. As such, I'm releasing this flag as CC-BY-4.0. 💜

Genetically intersex: having an intersex variation with any genetic basis! Examples include 46,XX with SRY and CAH.

The flag uses this symbol by Koson Rattanaphan and is CC BY 3.0. As such, I'm releasing this flag as CC-BY-4.0. 💜 Chromosomally intersex: having an intersex variation caused by having different sex chromosomes than 46,XX or 46,XY! Examples include Trisomy XXY and Monosomy X.

The flag depicts anaphase (the stage in mitosis when chromosomes move to opposite sides of the about-to-divide cell). If a chromosome winds up on the "wrong" side nondisjunction happens, which causes chromosome aneuploidies. Based on this CC-BY-SA 4.0 image from WC. As such, this flag is also CC-BY-SA 4.0. 💜

Genitally intersex: being intersex and having any sort of genital variation! Examples include ambiguous genitalia, hypospadias, micropenis, labial fusion, and vaginal atresia.

The icon in the middle is based on the first diagram in this infographic on human genital development. It depicts the genital tubercule before any sexual differentiation. I chose the colours so that it would look like a combination of the 🍑 and 🍆 emojis, which made me happy 😅. This one is public domain. 💜

Pelvically intersex: being intersex and having any sort of variations of the internal sex organs! Examples include gonadal variations like ovotestes and gonadal dysgenesis, and ductal variations like Müllerian agenesis and PMDS.

The icon in the middle is based on the first diagram in this infographic about sexual differentiation, depicting both the Wolffian and Müllerian ducts with the the gonads, before any sexual differentiation happens. It's based on a CC-BY-3.0 image by Teixeira, Rueda & Pru, so this flag is also CC-BY-3.0. 💜

Hormonally intersex: being intersex and having any sort of hormonal variation. This is a new variant on the flag I made earlier this year, putting it in the ring to be like the other flags here. It is public domain.

💜 Square versions for avatars & SVG versions available here. Thank you to @scifimagpie and @goingrampant for feedback on prototypes!
