"Altersex is also defined as any of the sexes (not individuals themselves) that are neither intersex nor perisex" this is incorrect, as everyone is born intersex or perisex. Perisex does not refer to a specific type of body, as people can change their bodies later in life. Perisex means you were not born intersex. It is intersexist to attempt to interject a third category into these terms, as it makes it more difficult for us to differentiate our issues and spaces from perisex trans issues. |

Hello, there has been an individual on here that has been coining harmful/unhelpful terms to the intersex community and co-opting intersex language in redefining this term. I want the moderators of the website to be aware that the terms "enab" and "inabir" as well as "somayr" are all attempts to redefine or undermine language used in talking about intersex issues. Essentially they are attempting to position Altersex as a more acceptable version of "transintersex", which it is not. Altersex dysphoria is not any more "somatic" than any other sort of gender dysphoria. The terms "enab" and "inabir" mean 'endosex at birth' and 'intersex at birth', which were coined in order to imply a person can change their status from endosex or intersex to "a different sex", in this case, that means altersex. This is misguided at best and purposeful disinformation at worse. This individual has been doing this on numerous wiki sites. |

"Altersex is also defined as any of the sexes (not individuals themselves) that are neither intersex nor perisex" this is incorrect, as everyone is born intersex or perisex. Perisex does not refer to a specific type of body, as people can change their bodies later in life. Perisex means you were not born intersex. It is intersexist to attempt to interject a third category into these terms, as it makes it more difficult for us to differentiate our issues and spaces from perisex trans issues.
