===Should I come out? / How should I come out?===
# Only come out if you are safe. If you feel like it would be unsafe in any way to come out in your current situation then do not come out.
# You can sometimes test
# Take your time. You do not need to come out right away.
# You do not have to come out to everyone at once. There are some individuals who you may never come out to and that's okay.
# Come out to those you trust. It can be easier to start by telling friends or siblings than by telling family. Try to find those who you know are allies. If they are individuals who you don't want to come out yet, make sure the individuals you do tell know this and can keep a secret.
# If you are uncomfortable with talking face-to-face you can write a letter, or do it through text or email.
# If you think it could go badly, avoid doing it before you have to spend a lot of time with the other individual, like a Christmas/Xmas dinner or a long flight.
# You don't ever have to come out if you don't want to.

Intersex is not a gender identity. It is a physical, sex variation which is present in one's chromosomes, naturally produced hormones, gonads, genitals, or combination of those things, that you are born with. If you were not born with such a variation then you are not intersex. And no, if you go on HRT you are not intersex. No, if you have surgery you are not intersex. No, you cannot "transition to intersex".

[[File:Androgyne bigender.png|thumb]]I think this is best explained with an example. See the image for the visual example.
In this example I have used a simplified gender spectrum with male or masculine on one side and female or feminine on the other side. Individual A has a single androgynous gender. This gender is somewhere in between male and female, but is not one or the other. This individual is androgyne but is
Individual B experiences two distinct and separate genders. One gender is male, the other gender is female. This individual is bigender
Individual C experiences two distinct and separate genders. One gender is male, the other gender is something outside the male/masculine-female/feminine gender spectrum (possibly [[neutrois]], or another [[abinary]] gender). This individual is bigender but is
===As someone with [insert disorder/neurodivergency here], [insert neurogender here] offends me.===
Neurogenders are '''''not''''' [insert disorder here] ''as'' a gender. It is a gender ''affected'' by said disorder/neurodivergency, or only able to be understood in the context of neurodivergency.
Not everybody with a neurodivergency identifies with a neurogender. Just because you have [insert disorder/neurodivergence here] does ''not'' mean you are [insert neurogender here], and you are in no way being forced to identify as it.
Neurogenders are used to say that ones experience with [insert disorder here] it ''affects'' their gender, or their experience with gender.

Examples include:
* Autism leads to individuals having trouble with neurotypical social constructs, since gender is a social construct some autistic individuals feel that being autistic influences how they experience gender.

* Someone who is unable to define their gender due to mental exhaustion caused by [insert disorder here].

Whichever pronouns you feel comfortable with.

Yes.
Line 263:
===How do I use she/they pronouns or he/they pronouns.===
She/they means they go by both she/her pronouns and by they/them pronouns. He/they means they go by both he/him pronouns and by they/them pronouns. Either use the two pronoun sets interchangeable or choose one or the other, depending on what the user prefers.
===How do I use [insert pronouns set here]?===

The last pronoun listed is the reflexive. It is used in place of the words himself, herself, or themself/themselves.
