'''Ay'lonit''' is a gender from Jewish culture where one was identified as a female at birth, but upon puberty, does not develop common female characteristics and is infertile. This was likely used to describe individuals with certain [[intersex]] conditions. In modern terms this can be interpreted either as a [[transgender]] man, or an intersex individual. Some trans, [[Non-Binary|non-binary]], or intersex Jewish people find that the term Saris fits their experience. |
|||
In Jewish sacred texts there are six different genders identified<ref>http://www.sojourngsd.org/blog/sixgenders</ref>. These are: |
|||
* "Zachar", someone who is identified as male at birth and presents as male later in life. This would be considered to be a [[cisgender]] man today. |
|||
* "Nekeivah", someone who is identified as female at birth and presents as female later in life. This would be considered a cisgender women today. |
|||
* "Ay'lonit", someone who is identified as female at birth but shows male characteristics later in life. This can be considered a transgender man in today's terms. |
|||
* "[[Saris]]", someone who is identified as male at birth but shows female characteristics later in life. This can be considered a transgender woman in today's terms. |
|||
* "[[Androgynos]]", someone who has both male and female sexual characteristics. This would refer to certain intersex conditions, but in terms of gender in the modern day it is closest to [[androgyne]] or [[bigender]]. |
|||
* "[[Tumtum]]" someone whose sexual characteristics are indeterminate or obscured. This would also refer to intersex conditions, but in terms of gender it is closest to [[agender]]. |
|||
Ay'lonit is a culture exclusive gender, specific to Jewish culture and should not be used by people not of that culture. |

The ay'lonit flag was designed by Tumblr user Bigfootrights on November 8, 2019<ref>https://bigfootrights.tumblr.com/post/188896540206/i-made-flags-for-androgynos-tumtum-saris-and</ref>. The colors were chosen with homage to the daytime and dawn. The gradient reflects the spectrum of identities that people who may be an ay'lonit can possess. |
