Since there’s a lot of Altersex terms, and not many are readily available to find, AND we’re manic, here’s a massive Altersex post with definitions and flags (though not every term has a flag)!
If I missed anything, or a flag, just shoot a DM and I’ll fix it.
——-
Altersex: A person who is not intersex, but for some other reason does not fit the male/female sex binary. Also covers fantasy “intersex” in media.
—
Angenital: A desire to be without sex characteristics. Does not correspond to any particular gender, and does not require any corresponding feeling of genderlessness.
—
Apagenital: When one feels apathetic to the genital set they have or don’t care what they would have. (aka Inersgenital, or Anvisgenital)
—
Aphrodisian: People who wish to have a mixed genital set (such as a penis and a vagina, or something in between), regardless of gender. Explicitly includes secondary sex characteristics. (An alternative for Salmacian, since that one is named after a r/pist in Greek Mythology. Also known as Bigenital.)
Salmacian Flag:
—
Apothigenital: Describing repulsion by having any genitalia.
—
Bissex: Having two or more sexes, or conceptualizing yourself with a mixture of two or more sexes. These don’t have to be penile vulvarian- they can also be xeno, fauna, etc. They also don’t have to be super distinct, and can be similar.
—
Cassgenital: Where one feels that their genital arrangement is unimportant or is indifferent to the idea of having genitalia.
—
Faunagenital: An identity in which you feel less dysphoric by conceptualizing your genitalia as non-human, but terrestrial and animalistic. (aka Animagenital)
Faunasex: Similar to faunagenital, but the entirety of your sex and not just your genitalia.
—
Genitalfluid: When your ideal genitals vary at different times. (aka Pergenital/fluigenital/abrogenita)
—
Genitalflux: Fluctuating between angenital and non-angenital. (aka Flexgenital/fluxgenital/flexigenital)
—
Genitally Dysphoric : Discomfort, confliction or distress with one’s genital sex. Not always external, and secondary sex characteristics also count.
—
M-Altguina : An AMAB man with either dysphoria about not having a vagina, or simply wants one due to the idea of having one being euphoric. Coined with Cisgender Transsex people in mind, but AMAB nonbinary men can use this too.
—
M-Altpect : An AMAB man with either dysphoria about not having breasts, or simply wants them due to the idea of having them being euphoric. Coined with Cisgender Transsex people in mind, but AMAB nonbinary men can use this too.
—
M-Altsex: An AMAB man with either dysphoria about not looking AFAB, or simply wants to look AFAB due to the idea being euphoric. This can be both pect and guina, one and then the rest of your body, or any mixture of AFAB sex characteristics. Coined with Cisgender Transsex people in mind, but AMAB nonbinary men can use this too.
—
Parsex: An umbrella term for every intersex and altersex condition (being non perisex).
—
Protosex: The opposite of altersex.
—
Sex Questioning : A process of exploration by people who may be unsure, still exploring, and concerned about applying a sex label to themselves for various reasons. Applies to more than just genital.
—
Sexlessness: Absent/null sex identity; an umbrella term for lacking sexed characteristics or qualities (planned/desired or not).
—
Systemsex: An umbrella term for members of a system with atypical sex characteristics (intersex in a perisex/altersex body, xenogenitalia, etc). All sex characteristics count under this umbrella.
—
Thirdsex: Commonly used to denote an “other” sex category beyond “m” or “f” (of male or female) in documents for example. In some passports they don’t categorize “third-gender” but instead “sex”. Denoting someone who is not dyadic, while not essentially intersex, hence may be classified as altersex.
—
TM-Altguina : An AFAB man with either dysphoria about not having a vagina, or simply wants to keep it out of euphoria. A trans male whose ideal and wanted body includes having a vagina. Unlike M-Altguina, instead of transsex, they simply don’t change anything, but with the same end result of a man with a vagina.
—
TM-Altpect : An AFAB man with either dysphoria about not having breasts, or simply wants to keep them out of euphoria. A trans male whose ideal and wanted body includes having breasts. Unlike M-Altpect, instead of transsex, they simply don’t change anything, but with the same end result of a man with breasts.

This can be both pect and guina, one and then the rest of your body, or any mixture of AFAB sex characteristics.

Words I was unsure about adding, but still thought might be important, under the cut:
I checked the waybackmachine, and it appears that the words below the cut were likely to be “Cuntboy” and “Dickgirl”, as the tags said “two reclaimed slurs under the cut”. Here’s the Cuntboyflag:
and the Dickgirlflag:
Reminder: these two terms are indeed slurs. While they have been reclaimed by numerous transgender/transsex people, they should not be used to describe someone without their explicit permission.
Sex Questioning is a process of exploration by people who may be unsure, still exploring, and concerned about applying a sex label to themselves for various reasons.
Colors from this flag by@protego-et-servio using -genital flags format, however sex questioning could be more than just genital, could apply to question your genotype, karyotype/chromosomes, gonads and so on. Not always questioning if they are intersex but could also altersex, perisex, parsex or protosex.
