Litursex is a sex label used to refer to someone who's sex characteristics (may or may not include secondary sex characteristics) are connected to and/or match one's gender despite not fully identifying as their assigned gender at birth (AGAB). This may blur the lines of transgender and cisgender for some litursex individuals.
Some examples of those who may identify as litursex are:
- AMAB demiboys/AFAB demigirls, multigendered/genderfluid individuals who's AGAB are included in their gender, etc. who feel their sex characteristics are connected to/match their gender.
- Non-dysphoric transgender individuals who have embraced their sex characteristics and now feel that they are connected to/match their gender.
- Agender/genderless individuals who may perceive their sex characteristics as non-gendered so therefore feel they are connected to/match their gender.
Despite their sex characteristics correlating with their gender, some litursex individuals may still desire a sex change for any reason(s). Litursex individuals may also identify as transgender as well but they do not have to; however, litursex individuals cannot identify as cisgender as they do not fully identify as their AGAB.

The white stripe represents a litursex individual's gender while the black stripe represents their sex, which contrast but still go hand-in-hand. The two grey stripes represent the blending of sex and gender. The yellow stripe represents intersex individuals while the purple stripe represents perisex individuals.
