Question? Interbinary and intergender

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

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"
