'''Altersex''' or '''Alteradic''' is a catch-all term to describe a state of having or desiring sex |
'''Altersex''' or '''Alteradic''' is a catch-all term to describe a state of having or desiring sex traits, or a combination of sex characteristics, that deviate from what would be considered the sex characteristics of a [[müllerian]] or [[wolffian]] individual, while also not having those particular divergent sex characteristics from birth. |

[[Intersex]] individuals can also be altersex. Intersexness is not inherently altersex, as the variant sex characteristics are from birth, rather than being modified or changed later, or wanting variant sex characteristics that do not match their current sex characteristics. |

* Individuals 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. Someone who has this experience might consider themself to be [[transsex]]. |

*Intersex individuals who have medically changed their sex characteristics (through [[Hormone Replacement Therapy|HRT]] or surgery). Though they were not [[infrasex]] as they were not dyadic, their sex characteristics do not match the characteristics they had or would have had from birth, making them altersex. A individual who has this experience can also consider themself to be [[transsex]]. |
