♩ intersex exclusive terms!
i don't care anymore who uses this, just don't list this along with radically inclusive resources. ⊹

shi/hir & variations of these!
these are exclusive due to their history of fetishization and dehumanization towards intersex people, especially from some parts of the furry fandom and old works of literature.

hesh/herm & variations of these!
these are exclusive due to them using the intersexist slur, hermaphrodite, which for years has been a term to dehumanize intersex people down to being 'unnatural', 'unhuman', and/or only seeing us for our genitals.

any label where you're both transfem and transmasc!
these are exclusive due to the fact perisex bodied people cannot be both transfem and transmasc at the same time, it is contradictory to their own assigned sex.

small note, "intersex alters" in bodies that are perisex are not allowed to use these. intersex is biological, it is not a gender someone can just choose to be, including alters who remember themselves being such or in innerworld wise see themselves as such. that is an outsiders view on what we go through, stop using our labels.

since people actually used the other one, here's a rentry that clears up common misinformation around other terms believed to be intersex exclusive. i made it originally to disprove this document.
