'''Dyadic''', also known as '''Perisexperisex''', '''Endosexendosex''', and '''Juxtasexjuxtasex''', is a term used to refer to people that aren'twho are not [[intersex]], or someone who waspeople born with sex characteristics which couldcan be categorized into one of the binary sexes, andwho do not have any sort of chromosomal or hormonal deviation which is realized later in life. Dyadic people can have any gender identity, including [[transgender]] and [[Non-Binary|non-binary]].
The term is not an identity by itself. It was created by the intersex community as a way to describe those who are not intersex, to avoid referring to non-intersex people as "normal/" or "natural," which implies that intersex people are not normal or natural. It's is used in the same way thethat transgender individuals use the term [[cisgender]] to refer to someone who is not transtransgender.
== Terminology ==
There is no consensus on what terms should be used to refer to non-intersex people. The most well known terms are ''dyadic'' and ''perisex,''; however, some intersex people dislike the use of the term term dyadic, because it meaning "two" reinforces the sex binary.<ref>https://transriley.tumblr.com/post/101068658963/im-sorry-if-this-is-bad-to-ask-but-why-is-dyadic</ref>. Other intersex people dislike the term ''perisex'' because it was created by non-intersex people who dislike being called dyadic.<ref>https://actuallyintersex.tumblr.com/post/146042914119/what-is-perisex-and-why-do-dyadics-keep-telling-me</ref>. The term ''intrasex'' is the most logical word for non-intersex people, howeverbut thatit is not used often because of how similar it looks and sounds to ''intersex''. The terms ''endosex'' and ''juxtasex'' were created as alternatives but these are not widely known. Some intersex people prefer ''endosex'' over ''dyadic''.<ref>https://anunnakiray.com/2019/12/12/biological-and-anatomical-sex-endosex-intersex-altersex/</ref>
