Ever since we made our equality design, we can't stop thinking of designs. So we made this!

Once again, everyone is free to use this design on shirts, stickers, pins, whatever they'd like, as long as they are using it for inclusive purposes! Just don't claim it as your own, please.

The transparent version:

A second version with a background, for easier viewing:

The design includes the following:

-The female symbol -The male symbol -A non-binary/genderqueer symbol on olive green bodies, to represent people who use non-binary/genderqueer as their lone identity -A NB/GQ symbol on lilac bodies, to represent people who have feminine NB/GQ identities -A NB/GQ symbol on dark cyan bodies, to represent people who have masculine NB/GQ identities -The androgyne symbol -The neutrois symbol -The xenogender symbol -The outherine symbol -The genderless symbol -The demigender symbol -The multigender symbol -The genderflux symbol. The genderflux bodies are a gradient, to represent fluctuation - black for genderless states, grey for demigender states, and white for fully-gendered states. -The third gender symbol

It also includes the transgender flag, genderqueer flag, altersex flag, and intersex flag.

Each of the bodies have three shapes, to represent how no gender has a specific "body type."

ECTOSEX

[pt: ectosex :end pt]

an individual who is not intersex or perisex, more specifically due to being outside of either of these labels rather than between them

some reasons for identifying as this may include but are not limited to:

someone who's always been sex non-conforming and doesn't know if they would traditionally fit the sex binary or not

someone who's been questioning their sex for a while and no longer cares about or is not able to figure out if they are intersex or perisex

someone who does not view sex as applying to them

etymology: ecto - outside + sex

symbolism: the black symbol is a flower to symbolize growing and lived experience and the grey colors of the flag are meant to contrast the more typical colorful flags to represent being outside of expectations

Altersex Flag

I'm altersex, but I'm not a huge fan of the most common altersex flag, so I decided to make an alternative. I wanted something simple and visually pleasing.

The sea blue in the center represents being born perisex, i.e. not being intersex. I got this color by inverting the intersex flag's colors and mixing them together, creating a color opposite to the intersex flag's yellow and purple.

The white rhombus represents the transition or identification away from the male/female sex binary. It points outwards in all directions, away from sea blue, and towards lavender. The shape's multiple edges represent that there are many ways to be altersex. These edges also help to differentiate it from the circle in the intersex flag. The white is inspired by the transgender flag, because its white stripe represents people who are transitioning (among other symbolism).

Outside the rhombus, the lavender represents having a queer or non-normative sex, while still not being intersex. This color choice was inspired by the genderqueer flag, as well as lavender’s general cultural association with queerness.

Altersex: A term for non-intersex people whose physical sex (or desired sex) does not fit into a male/female sex binary. In other words, someone who is neither intersex nor binary-sexed.

This flag is public domain! Use it if you want.

FAQ.

What is Deviæ?

Here's the coining post.

As stated in the pinned post, deviæ is the state of your physical sex traits and can reflect any identity such as transhumanism, transspecism, postfurry, physical nonhumanity, misceverses, etc. It can also reflect congenital states (deviborn) in which you believe is physically "unnatural, artificial, or animalistic" such as a prosthetic sex organ or a sleeve. Main things that would determine if one is deviæ is 1) self-identity, 2) the deviation from what people are normally born with (intersex & perisex) without being separated from such, 3) a consistent and prolonged state of self.

Does my identity fall under Deviæ?

There are probably more than 10 ways to be deviæ, especially since it relies so heavily on the "abnormal" and not the "bimodal" seen in perisex and intersex variations. Because of this, this mod cannot tell you what can and can't be deviæ unless the identity doesn't deviate at all.

Are deviæ people all nonhuman/transhuman?

A good chunk would be if we consider the fact that deviæ is made to replace and to reconsider the conversation around altersexness. Deviæ isn't a sex identity itself but describes a sex identity, which is why it encompasses much more than nonhumanity but could describe intersex people on animal HRT or perisex people who are congenitally altered from the "normal". It's a huge umbrella term made to pick up the lost pieces of altersex.

Is deviæ queer/LGBTQIA+? Is deviæ a gender? Is deviæ a disability?

It is complicated on all fronts. There is not one answer to any of these questions given the fact that deviæ means so many different things to people. Deviæ could fit into queer identity, but the mod is the coiner, and the mod refers to it as varsex and mogai/liom rather than entirely queer or LGBTQIA+. This is variable.

Deviæ has the ability to have gendered feelings turn into physical identity when psychosomatic experiences are introduced. This is not counting the idea of "brain sex", which doesn't exist and is intersexist. It is specifically referring to when the brain and body have an incongruence, which can also be effected by disorders or hallucinations or physical nonhumanity.

Deviæ can refer to sex traits that are "abnormal" because of disability, but deviæ isn't a disability itself nor can it cause disability.

What is malspecialia and how is it produced?

Malspecialia is the affirmation or supposed support of deviæ identity and traits only as a way to demean, gatekeep or discriminate. Similar to the concept of malgendering and altersexism, the discrimination against queer and mogai people and their identity, no matter if they're out or passing, has been a consistent, unwanted matter in the culture. This doesn't stop at just them but reaches up into deviæ as a ricochet effect, hitting every group that may apply even when not directly being attacked.

When someone says that because a "physical nonhuman is nonhuman, they can strip their rights to society away", that is malspecialia. When someone claims to support deviæ identities but only when they are non-op or "normal", that's malspecialia. When real bodies are shamed for being "abnormal and animalistic" but fetishized in fiction, that's malspecialia.

Most cases of malspecialia come directly from those who are disgusted or uncomfortable with the topic of transitioning, which is then used to be against transspecies folk and physical nonhumans for their bodies.

[intersexfairy]

do you think of intersex as a spectrum? like including those who are intersex-adjacent (aka mesosex). I was thinking in making a flag but I can't elaborate much how defining it

Gonna add a big disclaimer that I'm not the coiner of the term mesosex, so I'm only answering this post as I understand the term.

I do see intersex (and sex as a whole) as a spectrum, but it seems like the point of mesosex is that it blurs the line between perisex and intersex. Perisex means near the binary, because no one really 100% fits it. Intersex is about being outside or between it.

So with how sex development and the binary work, there's no clear threshold for intersexuality. Even if someone has an intersex variation, they may fall outside the binary so "minorly" that they don't feel like they fit intersex or perisex experiences... and to that extent, Im not sure if mesosex was meant to cover trans perisex experiences or not, as i unsurely implied in another ask.

So my answer to this ask is... maybe?

Congenital Primary Hypogonadism, and Congenital Secondary Hypogonadism flags

Using the symbol from this flag

Acquired /Non-congenital Primary Hypogonadism, and Acquired /Non-congenital Secondary Hypogonadism flags

Primary Hypogonadism refers to hypogonadism caused by the gonads themselves, Secondary Hypogonadism refers to hypogonadism caused the signals sent by the pituitary gland to the gonads or other cause outside of the gonad.

Congenital Hypogonadism is hypogonadism that is present from birth, though it is often not noticeable before the start of puberty. Acquired /Non-congenital Hypogonadism is hypogonadism caused by something later in life, such by diseases, injury, or medication, it is also just a standard part of aging after a certain point.

Congenital Hypogonadism is often considered an intersex variation, Acquired /Non-congenital Hypogonadism is not considered one.

Miscellaneous headcanons (some mine, some from others)

Deadpool from the MCU as varsex (since he has all the cancers). Photo credit. Inspired by this ask to @consciousexe.

Paul Atreides from Dune as intersex and interexpressive-masculine (i.e. his gender expression is linked to / reflective of being intersex). Photo credit. Submission by @goingrampant.

Brienne of Tarth from Games of Thrones as intersex and having interexpressive-neutral gender expression. Image source. Inspired by this post by @thehmn.

Chummy Browne from Call the Midwife as intersex and interexpressive-androgynous. Inspired by the same post by @thehmn. Image source.

Bobbie Draper from The Expanse as intersex and interexpressive-feminine. Photo source. Inspired by this post by @intertrek.

Camina Drummer from The Expanse as extersex, because what kind of beltalowda has access to medical testing? This one's from me, I headcanon most of the Belters in the TV show as hypogonadally intersex to explain why they're not as tall as they should be per the books 😂. And I think Drummer wouldn't be bothered to figure out if she is intersex or not.

Ahsoka Tano from Star Wars as intersex AFAB transfeminine with the intertransgender flag. Source image. Inspired by this poll by @aretheyqueer.

Fiona from Shrek as PCOS-intersex (i.e. intersex on the basis of having PCOS hyperandrogenism). Suggested by @scifimagpie. Image source.

Harth Fray from the Buffy comics as XTM intersex, having access to feminine powers that are shared with his twin sister. Suggested by @goingrampant. Image source.

Joan Lambert from Alien is XTF intersex! Photo from here. I've seen a bunch of people list Lambert as an intersex headcanon but I personally think the reveal she was medically assigned from male to female at birth is pretty canonically intersex. 🤷

Tedd Verres from El Goonish Shive is intersex and interfluid! Picture source. Submission by @goingrampant.

Azi Nareen from Scavenger's Reign is intersex and inter-agender/intergenderless. Picture from from here. Another headcanon of mine.

Abrosex

Where one has a fluid sex/ fluid between sex or desired sex/sexes.

[varsex-pride]

please learn how to descry distinct concepts, even if they partially or conditionally intersect or overlap a lot, they can be still separated or distinguished often. like, being immanently/immaterially or wanting to be a physical apple isnt the same as experiencing transsexed physical traits, or somaticizing bodily signs due to disordered plurality or non-system dissociation. nor is experiencing an alternative sex trait in your fursona or theriotype compatible as experiencing intersex variation(s). but, after all, even if all these experiences can be encompassed by trans* umbrellas, you have the autonomy to reject transitudes (such as transgenderness, trans*ness, transsexness, transidentity, or transvesticity) as you want.

Intersex Neu Pride Flag

Intersex (IS): umbrella term for innate variations that don’t fit the typical binary notions of male or female sex traits.

Neutrine or neutral (neu or neut): qualities or attributes regarded as characteristic of neutrois people; or a presentation associated with neutrinity or gender neutrality.

Not to be confused with interneu or interneutral, though it can include them, along with ulterneu (ulterneutral) and ipsoneu (ipsoneutral), this one is regardless of gender identity or modality, or birth assigment (ASAB/AGAB), and not inherently associated with the inter-system.

[like-the-verb]

Im very confused by the whole altersex / varsex thing can someone explain? Idk i feel out of the loop with most of the terms i see on here....like what is mogai also? Is that like....xenogenders or?

Also when i google all of those terms i get a lot of discourse, why is that?

[deviae-support]

Welcome to Deviæ Support, the main goal of this blog is to simply talk about your deviæ identity, vents or positivity.

Deviæ is an adjective to a variation where your physical sex traits are considered "unnatural, artificial, or animalistic" in nature. It can also be spelled "deviae".

Variations refer to whether or not someone is perisex or intersex and because the traits being unnatural or animalistic, deviæ covers a whole lot of people who would fit under the altersex umbrella. Altersex is the term deviæ plans to replace due to the former's fetishist and misguided nature towards transitioning and intersex people.

Deviæ isn't something you always transition into but can be born into (in cases of being born physically nonhuman/congenital parts that are deemed nonhuman). There are many ways to be deviæ that includes psychosomatic to surgery. So the mod here cannot diagnose you or tell you that you aren't deviæ because deviæ is about taking your body and deviating from whatever you want it to deviate from, it isn't a sex identity, it describes your physical state.
