New intergender flag design

Intergender: an intersex person whose gender feels connected, linked, influenced, or a result of being intersex. This term is used as a descriptor of one's gender (e.g. an intergender trans woman) similar to how neurogender is a descriptor. Intergender is also used as a gender in of itself (e.g. hir gender is intergender). This is a well-established term in the intersex community.

I'm personally a minimalist when it comes to queer flag design. This design takes the Carpenter intersex flag and inverts the colours, to reflect how intergender is a complimentary term to intersex.

I'm also influenced by interpunked's intergender flag design, which I think had some good ideas but is too busy for my personal taste.

The colour fits nicely with how the ipsogender flag already does this (it replaces the ring with the Earth symbol). It also allows us to take flags with a design of intersex flag + <icon of other thing> and turn them into intergender flag + <icon of other thing>, like so:

[intersex + autistic, intersex + disabled, intersex + plural, followed by intergender + autistic, intergender + disabeld, intergender + plural]

I've put up an SVG version of this new intergender flag design on Wikimedia Commons here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Intergender_Flag.svg - it's public domain and free to use! <3

Hammer, cog & torch: syndicalism (trade unionism)

Fist & rose (socialism) - two versions

Interwoman & Interman flag redesigns!

We were NOT happy with the flags we made in 2021, so we remade them. Not much changed, it still has the same meanings, its just more aesthetically pleasing now.

(Please read and reblog our intersex guide! Its important to learn about intersex people.)

Interwoman/Intergirl: a person that is intersex and also a woman. They can have any sex traits. They might identify as a cis-woman, a trans-woman, or both.

Interman/Interboy: a person that is intersex and also a man. They can have any sex traits. They might identify as a cis-man, a trans-man, or both.

[wheelie-sick]

would you mind explaining a bit about what cistrans *is*?? or if you don't feel like it, pointing me in the right direction?? im just curious about it and don't know where to look for information that isn't from radqueers and people who may use it incorrectly.

sure!

for everyone it's different. I'm not going to say it's exclusively an intersex label but functionally it's used that way.

it describes a complex relationship with the labels "cis" and "trans" where someone finds themself being both or somewhere in-between.

there are so many different examples of how intersex experience can fit into this because intersex experiences and identities are so diverse.

one of the big ones is discovering you were assigned the wrong sex at birth. just a random example, a trans man discovering he actually has CAIS and XY chromosomes. while he was raised with the expectation of being a woman his actual sex is complicated and he might feel his sex is closer to male than female. there's a mismatch in life experience of gender and actual sex. his gender is undeniably trans but his sex? his sex is closer to cis.

intergender as an identity is another one that can sometimes lead to people identifying as CisTrans. when you're intersex you're almost always raised with the expectation of being either a man or a woman, it is exceptionally rare to be an outlier to that. even the intersex people who are not raised strictly within the binary gender system aren't raised with the label of intergender. to become intergender you must change the label of your gender, but simultaneously intergender is a gender that always matches your sex. (this is personally a large part of the reason I identify as CisTrans.)

having a combination of identities can also make this label apply. multigender people are people who this label can absolutely apply to when one of their genders is one that they were raised with the expectation of being. trans for one or more genders, cis for one or more (yes, more. intersex people are often reassigned later in life) genders as well

speaking of reassigned genders, when your gender is reassigned later in life the labels cis and trans can get complicated. if you identify with a binary gender then no matter what you identify as you are identifying with a gender assigned to you at some point.

I'm sure there are other examples of places this label can apply. this isn't an exhaustive list at all. it's just what I'm thinking of off the top of my head.

also worth noting because someone will misread this: no, just because someone fits one of the above does not mean they have to identify as CisTrans. no one is forcing the label on anyone. I am hitting you on the head with a newspaper if you comment complaining about something that is not happening.

also CisTrans people are welcome to add on with their experiences and reasonings behind using the label :]

If you wouldn’t call a black person with albinism a white person because of their skin color why would you call a biological man or woman with chromosomal differences, variation in their genitalia or even hormone disorders as “queer” or included in the gay community? The term intersex is an umbrella term that denotes differences in sex hormones, internal or external genitalia, or chromosomes. These are disorders of sex. Even in individuals with true gonadal intersex traits, they will have either male or female chromosomes. To my knowledge there has never been a human born with both a chromosomal variant as well as internal and external genital variants that cannot be determined to be male or female. Every person born is either male or female. Having these conditions does not make a person something other than male or female. A woman being born without a uterus/ovaries, clitoromegaly (an enlarged clitoris), or some chromosomal mutation doesn’t make her any less of a woman. It doesn’t surprise me that TRAs will use these conditions to justify someone with a completely male or female body saying that they are or transitioning to the other sex. Intersex people are valid men and women.

Demi-intergender and inter-demigender

I've been thinking about how the order of morphemes matters for coining intergenders and how demi-intergender is not the same as inter-demigender, and made some flags!

Demi-intergender: when one feels partly intergender. This is a term specifically for intersex people, who feel that their gender is somewhat or partially connected to or influenced by being intergender, but not so much that they feel intergender. They thus feel somewhere in between intergender and extergender.

The flag design takes the demigender flag, and replaces the middle three stripes with the intergender flag. This is a pattern used by other demigender flags: e.g. the demiandrogyne flag replaces the middle three stripes with the androgyne flag, the demimaverique flag replaces the middle three stripes with the maverique flag, the demipangender flag does so with the pangender flag, etc.

Meanings: dark & light grey for partiality. Purple & yellow: being intersex & intergender.

***

Inter-demigender: when one feels demigender in a way that feels connected to or influenced by being intersex. As this is a gender linked to being intersex, this is a kind of intergender.

This flag design takes the demigender flag, and adds intersex yellow stripes to the top and bottom, in the style of some other intergender hybrid flags like the interfluid flag.

Meanings: same as demigender flag (greys: partial, yellow: any gender, white: no gender) plus golden yellow for intersex/intergender.

Personal connections to new flags: I would myself identify as inter-demigender. I identify as fully intergender and so the demi-intergender flag is not for me, but I do know at least one person who feels partly intergender.

Reason why I, an intersex trans man, got called a TERF #958465:

I don't support people who say that they're FTF or MTM "trans" or dfab trans women/DMAB trans men.

I don't really care if you're intersex or not, you can't transition to the gender you were raised as. That's just not a thing. It devalues actual trans experiences imo.

I can speak personally about the experience of being raised as a girl and actually being transmasculine and having that affect my experiences. A person who was raised has a girl and identifies as a woman does not have those experiences. A person who is raised as a boy and identifies as a man does not have those experiences.

I can fully respect people who identify as cisgender intersex, or consider intersex to be their gender, or identify as intergender, or even identify as intersex to female or intersex to male because those make sense. If your experience being intersex affected how you were raised and you identify as a different gender than your parents raised you to be, I totally understand that. But "I'm intersex and identify as the gender I was assigned/raised as" doesn't equal being trans.

But no amount of logic in my brain can ever understand how someone can transition to the same gender that they were raised as. It just seems like cis with extra steps to me, it seems like intersex erasure, and it seems transphobic.

I know that it's controversial to critique certain identities, but as someone who is intersex and trans, I feel like my opinion is valid. I don't see "MTM", "FTF", "dfab trans women" and "dmab trans men" as good faith identities.

People are still welcome to use those terms for themselves, but I don't feel comfortable interacting with them.

Usually when I have in the past, they've treated me weird (I've had people from that community insist that I can't be FTM because I'm intersex, I've experienced a lot of casual transphobia from that community, and I've had a lot of them basically pull the whole "transandrophobia is fake because trans men have male privilege blah blah blah") and I just don't want to deal with that.

So yeah, IDC if people criticize this tbh. Unless you're also intersex and trans, it's not really something you can invalidate because I'm talking about my own community.

I'm going to block anyone who leaves comments bothering to say that they don't agree with me because I really don't give a shit if you agree with me. You aren't changing my mind and talking over me is transphobic and intersexist.

Intertciaspec and Intertcingender

( ID 1: A flag with five horizontal stripes, in the following colors: dark purple, pink, yellow, turquoise and dark blue. In the center, there's a white circle outline with a yellow border around it. End ID. )

( ID 2: A flag with seven horizontal stripes, the middle stripe being thicker, in the following colors: white, pink, magenta, yellow, navy blue, teal and white. In the center, there's a dark purple circle outline with a yellow border around it. End ID. )

Terms and flags for those who are Intersex and Tciaspec / Tcingender, and / or are Tciaspec / Tcingender in an Intergender way / in a way which is caused by or inherently tied to being Intersex.

( If you don't want to use the combination terms you can just call them Intersex Tciaspec / Intersex Tcingender. )

Combining the Intersex flag by Morgan Carpenter with the Tciaspec and Tcingender flags by @ryanyflags. I thought the layout of those flags and the colors were incredibly pretty, so I tried to maintain that while still making them distinctly a combination / Intersex-focused.

Obviously these are intersex-exclusive but perisex folk are free to reblog or archive !! Free for anyone to use anywhere.
