In the case of real people using this as an term, those who have a mental body plan/view of their “true” self that has a body that does not fit traditional human sexes may call themselves altersex, as well as body who have under gone HRT and/or sexual reassignment surgery. Although, like many labels, the term altersex shouldn't be applied to real people unless they're okay with it.
Altersex does not imply any specific sex characteristics, just as intersex does not. This allows for privacy of the altersex person and avoids reducing individuals to their genitalia. It is neutral descriptor for any characters and individuals who are not perisex or any variation of intersex. Some altersex individuals/characters may resemble the binary sexes to some degree, but are different. Altersex can describe both a physical body, an internal sex identity, or both.
Examples of real life people who may identify as altersex include:
* People who were born dyadic but have medically changed their sex characteristics (through [[Hormone Replacement Therapy|HRT]] or surgery). Making it so their combination of chromosomes, primary, and secondary sex characteristics no longer strictly fits the definition of dyadic. However, they cannot be called intersex because they were not born with these variations. ([[Transsex
* People who were born dyadic and have changed or desire to change their body such that one has ambiguous sex characteristics or a mix of sex characteristics. ([[Salmacian]], [[
*People who desire or imagine their body as having little to no sex characteristics. ([[Angenital]])▼
* People who desire or imagine their body as having sex characteristics that are not naturally possible in humans. ([[Xenogenital]])
*People who desire or imagine their body as having sex characteristics that are animalistic in nature. ([[Faunagenital]])
▲*People who desire or imagine their body as having little to no sex characteristics. ([[Angenital]])
=== Fictional

* Characters who fit criteria stated in the "real people" section.
