Not a fav, but a question !
Do you know any intersex-adjacent label ?
Like a label for those who are outside of sex binary but don't know if it's intersexuality or abuse. Or those who have what are usually considered intersex variation but don't identify as intersex.
I try to find those label but I don't know how. So I ask
There's a few! I suppose I could start you out with the term varsex (link), which is for everyone (perisex and intersex, intentional choice and natural bodily variation, etc.) who falls under the sex-variant umbrella! It's a good catch-all if you don't feel like specifying how you're sex-variant any further.
In terms of questioning status there's extersex (link), which is for people who are questioning their intersex status and/or aren't sure if "intersex" is the right label for them. Alternatively, even if you aren't questioning your intersex status, if you just wanna go "I have no idea what's going on with my sex, fuck this shit" the label quoisex (link) exists too!
Mesosex (link) is a term that has... history, in regards to its definition being sort of up in the air, but it's accepted to be for people who WOULD fall under the intersex umbrella, but don't conform to perisex ideas of what intersex means. This can be inclusive of basically anything, and I like to treat it as a sort of in-between state of perisex vs. intersex? Of course it's a self-applied label, and people with variations which are 100% undoubtedly accepted as intersex can identify with mesosex if they feel it serves them well, but I believe it can include intersex-adjacent variatons that aren't widely considered to be intersex as well i.e. PMDD, Endometriosis, Poland Syndrome, Prader–Willi Syndrome, etc... the line between "perisex" and "intersex" is entirely human-made, but unfortunately the reality is that bodily variation comes in many shades of gray, and I believe there deserves to be a "stepping stone" socially for people who wouldn't Quite be considered intersex (even by the community's current standards) or don't consider themselves intersex, but don't quite feel they align with perisex either.
With people who aren't sure where exactly their innate sex variation comes from, there's locaisex (link), which is for people who would otherwise have sex variation that would be considered intersex, but the variation is from a distinctly not-intersex cause(s) such as (but not limited to) an acquired condition that leads to sex variation (i.e. hormone-producing tumors) or post-natal exposure to substances that lead to sex variation. In a more perisex-focused (but not exclusive!) sphere, dysex (link) exists for people who might otherwise be considered perisex, but have/had non-typical sex characteristics that aren't inherently considered intersex by themselves. Examples are in the linked coining post, I don't think I wanna list them all out here especially because this post is long enough LOL
These are about the most labels I know of at this time! More may be coined in the future, definitions may change, who knows. But I hope this helps you, and possibly anybody else coming across this post!
