Welcome to @interarchive! This is a blog made to catalogue Intersex term coinings and similar posts.

( For combo, “aesthetic”, and similar Intersex flags, check out @intersexflags! )

The mod uses no pronouns ( please use my url or one of my nicknames, Bug, instead! ) and is an Intersex Bigenderflux (Intergender + Interagender) Abro Aspec! I am bodily an adult. My variation gives me chronic health issues so I may not be super active all the time.

If you have questions about Intersex variations or just want to know more about Intersex individuals in general, here is a link to the InterACT website and here is a link to the InterACT glossary of Intersex variations! You should also check out @intersex-support!

( Please do not send me "am I intersex if?" asks, see above! )

Do not pry about others medical info and do not start pointless discourse (especially about flags or the validity of "microlabels". you are still welcome to use my blogs as a resource but i may block you). I support my queer siblings with "complex" identities and all of my Aspec siblings as well.

( Please fully spell out any tone indicators with me, like so "(joking)". Shorter acronyms like tone tags are often hard for me to process! )

Flags or content made by others who are bigots, intersexist, or anything similar will be archived through non-direct interaction for the comfort of those who follow this blog. More about that here <3

( including any who believe you can "transition" to being Intersex; please check out Aldernic or even Altersex/Alteradic terms )

Suggesting that we use ultermisogyny to refer to the specific discrimination against intersex people transitioning to femininity.

It would apply to all intersex transfems and intersex people who choose to only identify as ulterfem. Ultermisogyny can, of course, be experienced by all intersex people, but ultermisogyny exists to highlight the intersection of transphobia, misogyny and intersexism against intersex trans/ultergendered people, namely intersex transfems.

Quoiintersex

Quoiintersex is a label for intersex people who do not know their specific variation or "condition." A quoiintersex person is someone who is intersex, and their lived experiences match that of an intersex person.

Someone who is quoiintersex may know their intersex traits, i.e. hormonal differences, secondary characteristics, gonadal variations, etc. but not the specific diagnosis due to the systematic medical erasure of sex variation.

This label is not for "transintersex" or people who claim to be "brain intersex."

qıztäkä / кызтәкә

a flag for turkic intersex and / or trans people who reclaim the degendering slur кызтәкә / qıztäkä which is used against trans and intersex people

[ID: a rectangular flag with seven stripes with purple-ish dark grey, plum purple, brown, yellow, brown, plum purple, purple-ish drak grey colors from top to bottom with the ram symbol in the center of it. END ID] кызтәкә / qıztäkä is a kazan tatar compound word consisting of the word "qız" (кыз) meaning girl and тәкә (täkä) meaning ram. this word is used against trans and intersex people to this day as a slur in many turkic regions and countries. only turkic trans and turkic intersex people can use this word (not only tatar ones of course).

Ultrans three different flag designs

Ultrans - using both transgender and ultergender labels.

Ultcis, Ulteris

Ultcis - being both cisgender and ultergender, at the same time or fluidly. This could mean "being cis by perisex standards" and identifying as ultergender, but can also mean other things. The flag is the color of the iso flag combined with colors from these two flags 1 2, and design elements from these ones

Ulteris - being both isogender and ultergender, at the same time or fluidly.

Ablter, Ulterque

Ablter - being both absgender and ultergender, at the same time or fluidly.

Ulterque - being both utrinquegender and ultergender, at the same time or fluidly. Or being utrinquegender because of being ultergender.

Three different Ultris flags

Ultris - being transgender, cisgender, and ultergender, at the same time or fluidly. Or being trisgender because of being ultergender.

First flag is the the ultergender flag mixed with the tris flag h and I made. The second flag is the Ultrans and Ultcis flags from this post combined. The third is the ultergender flag combined with the most common tris flag. [These are exclusively for intersex use]

Transfoymirl

An exclusive identity for intersex individuals who are transfeminine trans boys and transmasculine trans girls fluidly or simultaneously.

The etymology of transfoymirl comes from a combination of "transfem boy" and "transmasc girl."

Those who identify as transfoymirl may also be referred to as "transfem t-boy transmasc t-girl" and "transfemmasc t-boygirl."

hello all, i noticed a lack of resource online for people who are curious about intersex genital mutilation scarring later in life without having to dig through surgery gore photos. i threw together some diagrams here (content warning for discussion of IGM and drawn genitalia diagrams) of the major surgeries that are completed on intersex children. worth noting this is based purely on my own research, and i am not a doctor, and i of course am not running around doing these surgeries myself. im absolutely free to corrections or adding more diagrams if other surgeries are brought up.

Mullwolf / Wolfmull

Mullerian + Wolffian flag and symbol as well as two combo terms. Intended for intersex people who would find the term useful for whatever reason ( hence the purple stripes. )

Made by combining the Mullerian and Wolffian flags and symbols from here. I have another alternative symbol somewhere but I can't find it right now. When I do i'll post it separately and link it here.

Here are the plain symbols for repositioning or use elsewhere. in order: with outline and plain black.

Made on request for anon but free for anyone to use anywhere. This was in my drafts for a few months and I'm very low energy so if there are any formatting, spelling, or other mistakes / inaccuracies I apologize. ( Coiner is intersex. )

No strange comments or arguments please. I really don't have the brain power at the moment, i'm just going to delete it and block. Thank you for understanding.

INTER(SEX)GAMER | INTERGENGAMER | TRANSINTER(SEX)GAMER | DUOGENGAMER | EXTERGENGAMER

[pt: inter(sex)gamer, intergengamer, transinter(sex)gamer, duogengamer, extergengamer. /end pt]

— a gender where one is intersex/intergender/transintersex/duogender/extergender and a gamer, or some combination of gamer and intersex/intergender/transintersex/duogender/extergender in any way. transintersex in this context refers to intersex folks who are also transgender, and not the transid. all of these are intersex exclusive. any of the names of the flags can be shortened or extended based on preference (extergamer instead of extergengamer).

— I've noticed a serious lack of intersex-related flags within gender systems. I don't think this is necessarily (always) out of malice or exclusion, as some people aren't comfortable making flags outside of their own experiences. if you're intersex and want a flag in a gender system for your intersex-related identity, you are absolutely welcome to request one, as long as it doesn't break my request rules.

INTER(SEX)CANNIBAL | INTERGENCANNINAL | TRANSINTER(SEX)CANNIBAL | DUOGENCANNIBAL | EXTERGENCANNIBAL

— I hope this goes without saying, but I am against real-life harm of real people. these flags are not meant to encourage or romanticize said harm against real people. also, if you use these flags as a perisex person to perpetuate harmful stereotypes about intersex people, I hate you (these flags are, as previously stated, exclusive to intersex folks).

Does anybody here know how the Chinese intersex community views perisex usage of the term yinyang ren (陰陽人) as a cultural gender?

All the intersex sources I've found on the term describe yinyang ren as either just a term for intersex, or as a reclaimed slur for intersex.

The old website of OII-Chinese, as quoted by @whimsy-flags, described it as:

“[Yinyang ren] are people whose physical gender cannot be clearly classified as male or female… Yin and Yang people do not mean people who deliberately choose to change their physiological characteristics.” (emphasis mine)

Yet I've also found a handful of sources from the perisex non-binary community that seem to view the term as a "third gender" for androgynous/bigender people, that oh just so happens to also sometimes include intersex people. I've noticed the sources that seem to be doing this are either members of the Chinese diaspora or just... not Chinese? 🤔

(edit to add: Chinese Wikipedia's entry for 陰陽人 is just a redirect to the entry on intersex/sex, and Wiktionary also indicates it's a word for intersex).

As an outsider it looks to me like the issue of perisex enbies being insensitive and thinking it's okay if they call themselves the h-word, combined with the issue of Global North wishful thinking about cultural genders. 😕

But I'm not Chinese, it's not my culture. I could be missing important context! I'd like to know if I'm reading this situation correctly or if I'm missing something. Thanks! 💜
