Labels for people wish to transition to a state between male and female
This post is for people who may identify with “trans intersex” / “MtI” / “FtI”, these labels are harmful, so I’m bringing awareness to some alternatives!
Nonbinary
We all know this one. A person who’s gender identity does not align with a binary gender. Many people use this to describe their transition as well.
Transitioning to a neutral or between state. Related to terms FtN, MtN, (N standing for neutral or nonbinary) FtX, MtX, (X representing ‘other’ as seen on official documents)
An androgynous person, such as one whose appearance is neither clearly masculine nor clearly feminine AND/OR a person whose gender identity is linked to androgyny, such as by being a blend of male and female or by being neither male nor female.

A label for those who wish to transition to have both a penis and a vagina. This is not linked to any specific identity, anyone can be salmacian or bigenetal. The term salmacian has had controversy involving intersex fetishization however the label itself is not considered harmful.
A transgender-adjacent umbrella term for those who desire to physically transition partially or in an otherwise non-standard way. It can be used by cis or trans people. This label covers everything from bigenital bottom surgery to cis people who wish to transition

A historic term referring to a person with both male and female characteristics, or a person of indeterminate sex. It can describe both perisex transsexual & transgender people, as well as intersex people.
The most updated definition is “a state of having sex characteristics or a combination of sex characteristics that deviate from what would be considered male or female, while also not inherently being intersex” This term has had a controversial history due to its coining as a replacement for words like ‘herm’, ‘futanari’, and other slurs in porn tags. Some people have adopted it as a genuine identity since then, and it has had multiple definition changes. Notably, one of the earlier definitions positioned altersex as a ‘third category’ in the intersex/perisex (non-intersex) dichotomy, this is not true, and is intersexist misinformation. Everyone is either perisex (non-intersex) or intersex, regardless of whether or not they are altersex.

Aldernic
Aldernic is an umbrella term for individuals who have, or wish to have, a body that deviates from what is expected in society or typical human notions. Aldernic is geared towards those who wish to have a more nonhuman form, and is popular among alterhuman, otherkin, and therian circles. It is however, not exclusive to these groups.
