Testo- and estrodominant flags
⚠︎TW for mentions of biology⚠︎ (3=e for the censoring translations)
Testodominant
When one has testosterone as their dominant s3x hormone. This term encompasses most cis men, AFAB trans people taking testosterone as part of HRT, AMAB trans people who have not taken estrogen or testosterone blockers as part of HRT, certain intersex people, and some cis women with hormonal imbalances/differences.
Someone who is naturally testodominant (has not become so through HRT or an acquired medical condition) may be called innatum-testodominant.
(Flag ID: A flag with 4 vertical stripes. From left to right they are black, dark blue, green, and green-yellow.)
Estrodominant
When one has estrogen as their dominant s3x hormone. This term encompasses most cis women, AMAB trans people taking estrogen (and/or testosterone blockers) as part of HRT, AFAB trans people who have not taken testosterone as part of HRT, certain intersex people, and some cis men with hormonal imbalances/differences.
Someone who is naturally testodominant (has not become so through HRT or an acquired medical condition) may be called innatum-testodominant.
(Flag ID: A flag with 4 vertical stripes. From left to right they are black, dark pink, orange, and yellow.)
Notes:
I wrote ‘most’ before my lists of people these terms would apply to because there are obviously irregularities/exceptions in medicine. (Ex: some AFAB trans people are testodominant without any HRT.)
"Innatum" means "natural" or "innate" in latin. It is also the gender-neutral (kind of) version of "innatus". If you think the prefix is too medical sounding you can just say "innately or naturally testo/estrodominant" instead.
The term testosterone/estrogen dominant has existed in medical literature for quite awhile but the shortened version was seemingly coined recently by @mogai-ringo.
