Fuck people who say that hyperandrogenism or hypoestrogenism caused by PCOS "isn't intersex"

Fuck people who say that a 'male' with hyperandrogenism isnt intersex, or a 'female' with hyperestrogenism "isn't intersex."

Fuck people who say that hypoandrogenism or hypoestrogenism "isn't intersex."

Fuck people who say that the agenital spectrum or people with absent/small/underdeveloped reproductive organs/gonads "aren't intersex."

Fuck people who say that duplicated or extra primary sex traits "aren't intersex."

Fuck people who say that Turner syndrome (or any other chromosomal variation) "isn't intersex."

Anyone with naturally developed genital, reproductive, hormonal, or chromosomal variations is intersex.

Intersex is a sociopolitical identity, not just a diagnosis. Doctors and the community disagree with each other on what it means to be intersex. Doctors are far behind and taught to be intersexist. They are taught to diagnose any sex variation as a disorder, deformity, or defect, rather than diagnosing it as "intersex."

sexlessly intersex / sexless⠀𝜗𝜚

a self-identifier for intersex people who are underdeveloped, missing, or otherwise lacking in any sex characteristics (of course, including both primary and secondary sex characteristics).

stripe meanings and more under the cut!

Interabsent / Intertere

( ID: Two images of a flag with seven horizontal stripes, in the following colors: Yellow, light green, muted pink, purple, muted pink, light green and yellow. In the center, there's a dark purple circle. On the first image, there's a muted pink border around it. End ID. )

"An intersex person who considers themself as sexless/of a null sex. like agenital/angenital, agonadal/angonadal, nullo/teresex, divisian/teretere, nullsex, etc. but less specific (and Intersex-exclusive). Also it only covers people who consider their sex null/sexless, regardless if they are really sexless. It could be for any reason (biosex traits, psychological, social, monosomy, etc.)"

The terms were defined by Anon, but I coined Interabsent / Intertere and made the flags! They're based off of the Carpenter Intersex flag as well as the general Sexless flag.

Help with ALT text and ID is appreciated! Free for anyone to use but please respect that it is Intersex-exclusive and do not be weird if you are perisex.
