Viktor Humphries from Slime Rancher is intersex, pansexual and aromantic, and his variations are XO/XY Mosaicism and Partial Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (PAIS)!

Intersex flag-only edits under the cut!

This is intersexism.

not only we're we able to find our condition though tumblr, but to be able to finally let go the breath we've been hold for 24 years.

"Then your suffering shall continue. You'll continue to lose pieces of yourself until there's no 'Peacemaker.' Not anymore. Why not save as much of yourself as you can now? Why suffer in silence?"

Was playing around with digital painting, and decided to make [Peacemaker].

[pt: androgen insensitivity syndrome flag]

androgen insensitivity syndrome is a recessive genetic variation that leads to people with XY chromosomes* not responding to androgens to varying degrees. the main categories are mild androgen insensitivity syndrome, partial androgen insensitivity syndrome, and completely androgen insensitivity syndrome, but sub-categories have been proposed to describe those who fall inbetween broader categories. the presentation of AIS depends on how little or how much the persons body is able to respond to androgens.

*AIS can also appear in someone with other chromosomal makeups, such as XXY, XO/XY, etc. and this has been documented in literature.

*AIS is able to appear in people with XX chromosomes, but it is not very well documented.

moss agate was chosen as an inspiration due to it being used to represent balance and growth. cyan was chosen for diversity due to the broad range of ways AIS can present. light green was chosen for serenity. dark green was chosen for connection and growth.
