'''Intergender''' is a gender for [[intersex]] people only, to refer to any gender identity that is fundamentally tied to one's intersex identity. It denotes that being intersex has an important affect on one’s gender identity. It commonly involves a gender that is in between male and female or a gender that is partially male and/or female, but it does not necessarily have to. It can modify someone’s gender identity (i.e. intergender [[demiboy]]) or it can be an identity on its own (i.e. I am intergender because being intersex practically is my gender experience).

Line 11 ⟶ 12:
Many intersex people find it inappropriate for dyadic people to use the term. Intergender should only be used by intersex people, as they need words that correlate with their specific experiences. Dyadic people should use other words such as [[androgyne]], [[bigender]], or [[Non-Binary|non-binary]].

The pink, yellow, and blue flag seems to be the oldest of the flags and was likely designed before the intersex-specific definition. The designer and meaning are unknown, though it presumably uses pink and blue to represent femininity and masculinity, with yellow in between them.
Line 17 ⟶ 18:
The purple and yellow flag was designed by Tumblr users Interpunked and Deafblinddisaster on Janury 17, 2020<ref>https://interpunked.tumblr.com/post/190315338222/intergender-flag-updated-design-117-this-flag-was</ref>. This is similar to the previous flag as it is also based off the design and color scheme of the intersex flag, however this one uses the yellow and purple flag, which has become the more popular and widely recognized intersex flag.
The intergender symbol was designed on October 4, 2014 by a group of non-binary people from Brazil.<ref>https://www.deviantart.com/cari-rez-lobo/art/Gender-Symbols-486052086</ref> The symbol has a circle and two parallel lines facing downward to the right. On one line is half a cross, like on the female symbol. On the other line is half an arrow, like on the male symbol. This symbol was possibly designed with the old definition in mind.
