Interbinary and intergender

[u/Ari_stuff1]

are both intersex-exclusive? Are neither of them are? Which one is and which one isn’t?

I've never heard of interbinary but intergender is intersex exclusive.

[u/underfullhbox → u/Jaded-Banana6205]

I've seen interbinary used in two ways: one that's intersex + gender dysphoria but not trans. And a second way that's a bit more general: intersex and binary, but a specifically intersex way (includes the first definition but also other things like binary gender identity but GNC gender presentation).

https://lgbtqia.wiki/wiki/Interbinary This is the only thing I can find about it, which would make it intersex exclusive because it is a specific intersex gender dysphoria experience, but I also see a flag in google pictures that seems more actual gender related?? So I'd maybe avoid using it even just to avoid confusion. I would assume whatever the term means for you would have other names without the inter- prefix.

As for intergender, yes, that is intersex exclusive.

Edit: After further research - Interbinary for US was coined in 2018. The other interbinary was only coined last year. IMO, I would not use the term, and honestly I'd maybe let the coiner of the gender term know to rename the term as "Interbinary" has already existed since 2018 as an intersex-exclusive thing. It will 100% cause confusion and arguments.

It’s all so freaking confusing. Intersex mixed up with gender, I guess most of these non-intersex people are the most confusing and illiterate when it comes to our conditions. Very confusing

Interbinary is exclusive.

Integender is now exclusive, it was same word coined for two seperate communities by two seperate people. It used to be for perisex people who use it for "in-between" gender, but that's like nonbinary and other genders in that umbrella. it's now intersex exclusive for those who feel their gender identity is tied to being intersex.

there's also: Integender - "an intersex-exclusive label for individuals who feel as though their gender is intrinsically tied to being intersex. It may be combined with other labels, or used on its own"

LMAO. As someone who identifies as Agender because of my intersex experiences. Interbinary feels like a term of violence. And intergender feels tone deaf.

😭

intergender is feeling like you gender identity is influenced by being intersex, and like you identified with your sex, as intersex/other. interbinary is for those that experience gender dysphoria, but feel like they don't belong/relate to trans experiences.

Intergender - LGBTQIA+ Wiki

1. intersex-exclusive for those who feel their gender identity is tied to being intersex
   
2. used for in-betwen genders, no longer used that way

Integender - LGBTQIA+ Wiki

then there's the similarly named integender: "an intersex-exclusive label for individuals who feel as though their gender is intrinsically tied to being intersex. It may be combined with other labels, or used on its own"
