If anything it's beautiful. It's wonderful. It's awesome.

we usually see positivity towards "girldick" and "boypussy", and that's great! but it's rare to see love shown to those who may not like our configuration or have had bottom surgery.

so here's to those who:

- have gotten bottom surgery

- want surgery but cannot access it

- want/have had vaginoplasty or vulvoplasty

- want/have had meta or phallo

- want/have had nullo

- want/have had salmacian surgery

- want a configuration that's impossible with current medicine

- use a packer

- tuck

- have difficulty with sex due to dysphoria

- do not identify with the terms "girldick" or "boypussy"

we deserve love and positivity too! we deserve to be able to celebrate ourselves despite how we may feel about our bodies.

So apparently Salmacian was originally coined to literally mean "transitioning to intersex" and the term itself is taken directly from the myth of Hermaphroditus, the origin of the slur for intersex people. And though efforts have apparently been made to distance itself from the original definition it still takes from the same source that birthed the slur that's used against us in the modern age.

Not to mention the fact that the Salmacian flag (at least the one used here) is incredibly similar to the intersex flag and clearly takes inspiration from it.

Also included on their site is this:

The only people who wouldn't be assigned afab/amab are intersex people but all intersex people are forcibly assigned a sex at birth. I don't fully know what they're trying to say here but this seems like a misuse of agab terminology or an intentional spreading of the myth that intersex people aren't assigned male/female at birth.

Like I get that there needs to be a label to fill the niche of "person who wants a body that doesn't fit the typical idea of male/female" or "person who wants a mixed genital set" or whatever but this is steeped in intersexism and directly takes from the intersex community. Specifically it takes directly from the origin of the slur that's used against us.

This bitch needs a cuddle puddle

And someone with a clicker

☘︎ an altersex identity for individuals who desire both a penis and a vulva.

from Greek “syn-“ meaning “together“ and sex.

color & symbol representation:

☘︎ pink represents female or female-aligned, or feminine or feminine-aligned individuals who are synsex. ☘︎ blue represents male or male-aligned, or masculine or masculine-aligned individuals who are synsex. ☘︎ green represents agender, gendernull, genderless, or otherwise ungendered individuals; as well exo-binary individuals, who are synsex. ☘︎ yellow represents gendered and gender-independent non-binary individuals who are synsex. ☘︎ white represents the freedom to modify one’s sex to one’s liking. ☘︎ the blend of colors represents the bimodal, not binary, nature of sex. ☘︎ the cardinal symbol is in homage to gynandromorphic cardinals who are phenotypically half-male and half-female.

A person who is both a butterfly (a queer man who wants to have a vagina/likes the one they have) and a hyena (a queer woman who wants to have a phallus/likes the one they have). These identities can be experienced simultaneously, or in fluctuation.

@unbound-angel Hey, cis Intersex fiance, am I intersexist?

Anywho, here's my take:

Intersex is a sex, can we all agree with that? Yes? There's more than 2 sexes.

Alrighty, male and female are sexes too (as well as genders), which individuals can transition to or identify as. So, my standpoint is - why is intersex the singular sex that one "cannot" identify as or transition to? Just because I wasn't born intersex? Sounds suspiciously close to transphobic ideology. Because intersex people have experienced great challenges, violence and discrimination? So have women, but transwomen still exist. I'm not claiming to face the same things as people born intersex, because I'm not cis intersex.

And I mean, sure, I could identify as Transneutral, Non-Binary, Androgynous, or Salmacian. And I do! But those are all labels, so is intersex. Those don't express my transition desires like transintersex does, those are just my labels irl to avoid people like you. I would much much rather be perceived as intersex than androgynous or gender neutral.

It's like how even though there are more popular terms for the same thing, some choose a smaller micro label because they simply think it fits better.

I 100% plan on physically transitioning by the way.
