Extergender

Extergender: an intersex person whose gender feels independent of being intersex. This the opposite of intergender, where an intersex person feels their gender is connected or influenced by being intersex.

Extergender people can have any gender – they can be cis, ipso, ulter, or trans; male, female, nonbinary, or other – it just means that their gender isn’t connected to being intersex.

I’ve made this flag by taking the intergender flag and de-colouring it. Black and white represent how one’s gender is clearly separate from being intersex. White represents all possible genders, black represents the absence of the influence of being intersex. The ring indicates this is still an intersex-specific label.

Exter- is used as a contrast to inter-, inspired by the term extersex being a contrast to intersex. (Extersex: someone who is not certain if they are intersex or perisex.)

I am not myself extergender. I coined the term last year for thinking through some internal divisions amongst intersex people. This flag design came together as I was thinking through what a demi-intergender flag would look like. If an actually extergender person creates a different flag for extergender I think that should be prioritized over my design. 💜
