---

Penis terms: Dick, prick, cock, rooster, hen, turtle, phallie, phal, member, outtie, strapless, wang, willie, dong, schlong

Clitorophallus or micropenis/buried penis terms: T-dick, clitdick, dicklit, dicklet, cocklet, cocklit, neunis, c-phal

- Girl-/Lady- (ie; Girldick/Ladydick) - Fem-/Fin- (ie; Femcocklet/Fincocklet) - Boy-/Man- (ie; Boyclit/Manclit) - Masc-/Min- (ie; Mascsack/Minsack) -Androgy-/Lin- (ie; Androgycunt/Lincunt) -Neu-/Nin- (ie; Neucloak/Nincloak) -Null- (ie; Nulltits) -Xen-/Xeno-/Xin- (ie; Xencock/Xenocock/Xincock)  -Outh-/Ouin- (ie; Outhsplit/Ouinsplit) -Apor-/Apori-/Apora-/Ain (Aporhole/Aporihole/Aporahole/Ainhole)

[deviae-support]

Deviae

∩⃛

adjective

Being, or relating to, a material deviation in bodily traits that resemble or are partially transhuman, transsex, unnatural, artificial, or animalistic.

Deviae accounts for:

Transitioned or congenital states of self aligned with the definition of deviae.

Any being using any term for themselves while also being deviae, including therians who are deviae (with the correct usage of deviae of course.)

Almost or fully transhuman, such as bearing the DNA of another species, limbs, features, or modifications of the body that is outside of zoanormalcy.

Deviaesis is the state of having or possession of deviatypal traits, and can be derived from HRT or surgery, body modification, tattoos, physical biokinesis/postfurry identity, physical nonhumanity (literal and not figurative), transhumanist appendages, transspecies transition, and misceverse transition, with influence from cultural background, spiritual beliefs, and genetics. "Material deviation" refers to, but not strictly, sensorial experiences, somatization, disability, and neurological divergence.

Deviae - adjective/modifier ("I am a deviae [title/being].") Deviaesis - noun ("My deviaesis is tied to my beliefs.") Deviatypal - adjective ("My traits are deviatypal.")

Deviae as a term and community operates on sharing these core ideas:

Strong values surrounding nonhupunk, voidpunk, beastpunk, and otherpunk. Challenging human-centric beliefs. (being anti-"zoanormalcy")

Physical and mental freedom, biohacking, transhumanism, practices of physical animality, and autonomy. ("emorphy")

Liberation of animality and acceptance of it as a concept we (every living thing) all experience rather than isolated to theriform beasts. Animal rights, queer rights, disabled rights, mad pride, the study of animals and plants.

Reconnecting back into animality and nature and away from domestication unless necessary (medical aide, financial aide, etc). ("reuniting", referring to going to habitats that soothe dysphoria)

Strict focus on the literal and the physical, biologically and transitioned creatures, ficts/facts, and humans. ("deviborn", referring to biology)

Introspection into that of which is yourself and your form, with the ability to define yourself a cyborg, neohuman, or physically not of humanity regardless of external form's current appearance. ("inquiring")

The right to represent and modify your traits, your sonance, and your body in ways that benefit you and you only.

A culture (that is semi-public) of donation to fundraisers, of good will to charities and events and food banks, and the free creation of terminology needed to support or aid in inquiring oneself and a "question everything, even yourself" attitude.

As deviae grows, it will see an increase in usage and language and culture, furthering it's separation from any existing community besides the varsex and transhuman communities in a venn diagram. Said terminology down below is strictly for use by deviae folk only:

Deviborn/ ANBS - Born with deviatypal traits/ "Assigned Nonhuman By Society".

HtA/ HtB - Human to Animal/ Human to Beast.

Species dysphoria - Dysphoria that affects the perception of species and transhuman identity.

Non-dichomy - Those not aligned in the animal/beast or human category.

Malspecialia - Affirmation of deviatypal traits for the sole purpose of attacking, fetishization, or discrimination

Traits - referring to deviatypal traits in the body, most commonly sex traits.

Teratole - used to describe their outward presentation with animalistic titles.

MIH, Modified into Humanity - someone who has been through Deviatypal Mutilation or forced body modification, usually to appear more "normal".

Zoanormalcy - What is considered "normal" in nonhuman/human societies.

Emorphy - The practice of embodying/embracing individual and modified morphology, which includes subjects like shapeshifting and DIY CRISPR.

Reuniting - Sole migration to a place, area, or biome that would cause euphoria and solace, such as a place a deviae dolphin was born.

Inquiring - A practice related to interrogation where someone questions themselves and their internal identity to the point of dismantling it for their own sake, not to prove themselves to others.

Post-homini/post-homi - Refers to a deviae person's body after transhumanist transition.

Deformed - A common slur and reclaimed term for deviae folk who are MIH, deviborn, or transitioned.

Beast/creature/critter/anomaly - Terms sometimes used in place of person for nonhumans or used after deviae when needed.

Larvae/cocoon/butterfly - Someone who is inexperienced, almost experienced, and someone who is experienced, respectively. Used to refer to others and yourself and is the animal symbol of deviae people.

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 masculine gender expression is connected 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 (while also being a woman). Inspired by the same post by @thehmn. Image source.

Bobbie Draper from The Expanse as intersex and interexpressive-feminine. Her femininity (especially in the books) is always described in reference to her large stature and musculature, but it's always understood as feminine. Very feminine in a specifically intersex way. 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.

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 with (at least some) relatively "binary" sex characteristics. 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 caused by an intersex variation, at least not in entirety. This color choice was inspired by the genderqueer flag, as well as lavender’s general cultural association with queerness.

Altersex: A term for people whose physical sex (or desired sex) does not fit into a male/female sex binary, for reasons unrelated to being intersex. Altersex people can be intersex or perisex.

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

Edit: Flag meanings and definition updated to be less perisex-centric, and more inclusive of intersex altersex people.

[clownshifting]

revised appearance?

the void itself confined to a robe with a horn as a magic wand. aka... us

i know it might be cuter to show stolas and azriel separate but we are the same person and don't really need a separate body unless we are depicting differences in our speech or personality. here.. we are one. we work as a unit always.

plus this is the body and appearance we wish to gain after transitioning. the void is what we are physically, which to us is charged by magick, and the vast cosmos of space dust just didn't rewire us into a legitimate being so we just are at our core - pure void.

this aligns with our goals for nullification and to simply be a shadow in sight.

[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?

[masquerade-flags]

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.

Can ya'll please stop saying "feminizing" and "masculinizing" for HRT (or bottom surgery, for that matter?)

Call it androgenizing HRT. Call it estrogenizing HRT. But please stop applying femininity and masculinity to it as an inherent trait.

It's really invalidating for transandrogynous, transneutral, transnull, transgenderless, transxenine, transoutherine, transaporine, and some multigender or mixed gender people who want to transition, and are being grouped into "feminizing" and "masculinizing" categories.

Not to mention intersex people with hormonal variations who need to use HRT. Or altersex/transsex people whose desired sex does not reflect their gender.

Transmasculine and transfeminine people aren't the only ones in this community. Please stop treating transitioning as strictly masculine or feminine.

[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.

FAQ.

What is Deviæ?

Here's the coining post.

As stated in the pinned post, deviæ is the state of your physical traits and can reflect any identity such as transhumanism, transsexual, 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 is a queer identity but the mod refers to it as varsex and mogai/liom. The mod would also like to include it in queer/LGBTQIA+ circles because of the importance of varsex identity in queer spaces! This is variable person to person.

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.

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.
