#intergender

A flag for intersex individuals who retrotransition: they transition to try and undo the effects of forcible medical interventions such as IGM and forced HRT, to have sex traits that are an approximation of what they'd naturally would have had.

Also known as XTX and ITI (intersex-to-intersex). These flags and terms are intersex-exclusive.

Flag is inspired by these transition flags that @bloomshroomz made. Symbolism is: - yellow and circle: born intersex - black stripe: being mistransitioned (IGM, forced HRT, etc) - violet: the binary gender that they were mistransitioned to - white: intentional/voluntary transition - purple: transitioning to a gender that is influenced by being intersex, and hence under the intergender umbrella - yellow trans symbol for added transness

Versions for retrotrans individuals who were mistransitioned to girl/feminine (XtFtX or FtX), and to boy/masculine (XtMtX or MtX), respectively:

And sensory friendlier versions:

Requested by: me 😁 I am retrotrans

"man" is my abbreviation of my gender to make it comprehensible to perisex peopke (including perisex trans people). my primary gender is and always will be intergender.

if I go around calling myself intergender to perisex people I have to give a little definition for them. I have to educate them. it's tiring. even the best meaning people don't know what that word means.

Here [link] is a list of definitions for terms/acronyms that will be used throughout this blog!

Hello, I'd like to preface that this is not the original moderator for @this-is-intersexism!! We are Charlie/Bear from @interhusband (we are plural and switch between I/we pronouns. Please use he/hir pronouns for us). This is a replacement blog since the original tii was terminated due to the rampant Intersexism on this website.

We are also the mods for @this-is-fatnoirism @frutiger-mogai @trans-butch-culture-is and @black-butch-culture-is

Here, we wish to share more instances of Intersexism and the experiences of our community. We will not be silenced, no matter how hard Tumblr tries to. Allies are welcome to submit experiences, but intersex voices will be prioritized.

No form of bigotry will be tolerated. That includes transandromisia, transmisogyny, exorsexism, ableism, saneism, racism, xenophobia, or antisemitism.

BOUNDARIES:

• if you have questions about oc’s or writing advice, please keep to talking about intersexist stories/characters or “is my character/how I’m writing them intersexist?” Type of submissions. I no longer showcase oc’s or receive ask about writing advice beyond that!!

• nothing too explicit/sexual, do not overly describe your external genitals or your sexual activity (please direct such questions to @/comprehensive-sex-ed).

• (because this apparently has to be said) don't use my inbox as a confessional, please [link]. I don't want to hear about the intersexist things you have done as a perisex person or continue to do unless it is to ask for advice or resources to learn and do better.

• if you are having bad, dark, or harmful thoughts about yourself or others, please seek out organizations that I have listed below, talk to trusted people in your life, or invest in a journal. Genuinely. There is only so much I can do in advising you through dark times of internalized intersexism, especially when you aren't aware of it and aren't asking for my help. I am NOT a professional, I am not equipped to handle such situations.

• please keep full blown drama to a minimum. If there is a discourse that involves intersexuality, that is okay, but keep unrelated discourses or dramas involving individuals that are unrelated to me out of my inbox. This blog is not for that!

• if you have any variation of the “I’m bodily perisex, but I have an intersex headmate, what should I do?” My answer will be the same so please stop asking. Innosex [link], parintersex [link] and altersex [link] are right there.

If you have questions about intersexuality or are wondering if you may be intersex, I definitely recommend reading through these resources:

⋯ interboy

[PT: interboy. End PT.]

a gender where one is a boy in an intersex way, a boy and intersex, an intergender/integender boy, or however else one wishes to personally define the gender.

please note that this flag was designed by a friend of mine. it gave me permission to post this and create more flags based on these ones, however i do not claim credit over its work.

no dni! read pinned for more info.

most of my flags are alts of existing terms. if this has already been coined, consider this an alt.

I'm curious how many intersex people who participate in @gendercensus write-in "intersex" in the section where you get to write in any gender descriptors not already provided for you.

For those unfamiliar, it's a short annual survey of people whose gender in any way does not neatly fit into the binary.

You get a question where you can check off common terms like transgender and nonbinary, and then 10 empty slots you can use to write in terms that were not provided. Writing in "intersex" in that part is the only means in the survey for somebody to indicate they are intersex, as the survey does not directly ask intersex status.

This year's Gender Census is still open if you haven't filled it in yet!

Trinsgender / Trintergender

[PT: Trinsgender also known as Trintergender. /End PT.]

This is a label exclusive to intersex people who identify with a gender identity beyond what was socially expected or imposed onto oneself.

You may consider this an ASABless alternative to ultergender, as any intersex person, regardless of ASAB, may modify our genders in any direction that fits our experiences best.
