#intrasex

Like how cis, trans, iso, etc. has gender modality / sex modality. It's like gender/sex modality in that it describes a specific relation to gender/sex, but unlike gender/sex modality, it's not about correspondence/transitioning and is just what a person is born with. And, typically anyways, those modalities aren't genders/sexes in it of themselves, like man/woman/nonbinary/etc. would be the actual gender, and cis/trans/iso/etc. is the relationship to said gender, but intersex/perisex kinda(?) are sexes.

Terms that fit, I guess, from what I know:

Sex characteristics (link): some jurisdictions use this term over just "sex" to encompass the legal protections intersex people have geolocally. For example, the term sex-based discrimination typically refer to sexism or misogyny, whereas sentences using this term, such as 'discrimination due to sex characteristics', could emphasize the inclusion of intersexism;

Sex traits ([w]; [x]; [y]; [z]): this is an alternative to sex characteristics

The term variations also appear, however, the term variations in sex characteristics (VSC) implies it refers to variance, so dyadic wouldn't be included. However, the terms "endosex variations" and "perisex variations" are in use by some.

Sexness/sexedness or sexuation/sexuatedness (from intersexness and intersexuation, meaning intersexedness) could be a thing, however they are mostly about the (cap)ability to reproduce sexually (sexedly)/sexedliness.

I'm not sure if people used the term "sex alignment" but this could also refer to multiple things contextually.

Sex identity is also used, however many would not see intersexness as solely identitary.

Edit: @queercripintersex reblogged with: Pretty sure I've seen "intersex status" used for this and depending on context may be a good option

I was thinking in extrasex/extarsex for intrasex, but I'm not entirely sure how that term is defined, and intrasex was already taken briefly as an alternative for dyadic. maybe intarsex could have a definition.

PT: AFAB /end PT

Assigned Female At Birth (AFAB) (also seen as Designated Female At Birth (DFAB) or Female Assigned At Birth (FAAB)) is an assigned gender for people who have external sex traits that are identified as female. It is used as a way to refer to the sex on one's birth certificate or to discuss medical issues that primarily face AFAB people without making assumptions about one's current sex, body, or gender identity.

When a person is born, they are said to be female based on the absence of a penis, or a clitoris smaller than a certain size. The presence of a vagina (the internal structure) is not checked. Some intersex people who were AFAB only discover they don't have a vagina once they are older. Chromosomes are also not checked, so a person who was AFAB doesn't necessarily have XX chromosomes.

Traits commonly found in those who are AFAB include:

A vulva and vagina (POV), unless they are intersex or had them removed later in life.

A uterus and ovaries, unless if they were born without one or both (agenesis), or had them removed later in life.

The capacity for ovogenesis/the ability to give birth (PWIB), unless if sterile or without some of the anatomy listed above.

Breasts (a secondary sexual characteristic), unless if they never developed, or they had them removed.

Has estrogen as their natural primary sex hormone.

Chromosomes that are XX.

AFAB people who were born with all of these traits are considered mulleripathian, though some mulleripathian people may lose some of these characteristics later in life. Not all people who were AFAB were born with all of these traits, in which case they may be considered intersex. Some intersex individuals were AFAB, because they appeared externally female and their condition is not obvious without genetic testing or was not noticed until later in life. Some intersex individuals were coercively assigned female at birth (CAFAB), meaning they were medically altered without their consent to fit the sex binary.

AFAB people are typically raised with the assumption that they will identify as a woman, however AFAB people can be any gender and can have any gender presentation. AFAB women are considered cisgender women. Transgender AFAB people are most commonly assumed to be transgender men, however non-binary AFAB people can also be considered trans. AFAB people who identify primarily with masculinity can be called transmasculine.
