'''Saris''' ('''סריס''') is a [[Exclusive Genders|exclusive gender]] from Jewish culture where one was [[AMAB|assigned a male at birth,]] but develops [[feminine]] characteristics later in life. This is, at times, used to describe individuals with certain [[intersex]]
In Jewish sacred texts there are six different genders identified<ref>http://www.sojourngsd.org/blog/sixgenders</ref>. Saris is one of these six. The other five are:
Line 6:
* "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.
* "[[Androgynos]]", someone who has both male and female sexual characteristics. This would refer to certain intersex
* "[[Tumtum]]" someone whose sexual characteristics are indeterminate or obscured. This would also refer to intersex
Saris is a culture exclusive gender, specific to Jewish culture and should not be used by people not of that culture.
