 This definition is often considered especially imperative in advocating the respect for altersex individuals who desire an impossible arrangement of sexual characteristics. Said individuals do not have the option to undergo the desired hormonal therapy or surgical procedures, since said practices are not currently possible, but these individuals are still considered altersex by the developed definition due to their internalised view of oneself.<ref name=":2" />
-Altersex is also defined as any of the sexes (not individuals themselves) that are neither [[intersex]] nor [[perisex]] (sexes with typical [[binary]] [[male]] or binary [[female]] characteristics).<ref name=":1" /> This specification would mean that conditions such as [[Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome]] would not fall under the altersex umbrella. However an intersex individual may still describe themselves as altersex if they have or desire a differing variation of physical sexual characteristics.<ref name=":2" />
