Intergender

Intergender, as it is currently defined, is a gender identity for some intersex people who identify between or as a mix of the binary genders of man and woman.

Etymology
Intergender originated sometime by 1998, when it appeared on Usenet as the alt.support.intergendered newgroup. The group was created by Donna Lynn Matthews, who is non-intersex but identified as "intergendered". The newsgroup's charter explained its definition of intergendered: "Intergendered individuals do not gender themselves as 'men' or 'women', but somewhere inbetween, as a mix of both masculine and feminine qualities. Others gender themselves as neither 'men' nor 'women' (agendered or non-gendered), thus placing themselves 'outside' of the gender 'spectrum' completely. Given this, intergendered individuals tend to present (to varing [sic] degrees) in a non-descript or ambiguous manner by means of androgyny, partial crossderssing,[sic] genderbending, and part-time cross-gender living, to name a few. Intergendered should not be confused with intersexed, as the two are quite different."

In 2014, an intersex and intergender person named Aeshling made a Tumblr post to separately propose "intergender" as a term only for intersex people.

Community
''The top part of this section is more general, while the subsections are specific. A wide range of topics can be included here, such as impacts that people who identify as this term have on society, things specific to this identity's community (like ace rings to asexuals), and miscellaneous achievements or contributions by this group that do not fall into the other subsections. If not needed, it can be left blank between the Community heading and History subheading.''

History
Document the community's most important history, including facts such as key events, breakthroughs in improving the community's wellbeing and rights, or historical figures known to belong to the community.

Flag
''Optional section: Include a pride flag if one exists and there is evidence of its use beyond someone proposing a possible design. This section should also explain the meaning behind the flag's design and who created it. Do not add flags that are specifically for sub-groups; those belong on pages for those sub-groups. High quality PNGs or SVGs are preferred. References are required for this section.''

Distinction
Optional section: If the topic has similarities to another gender/orientation, use this section to highlight the differences between them.

Controversy
Intergender has sometimes been claimed as a term for anyone who feels a connection with it, whether or not they are intersex. However, that may be an act of appropriation from intersex individuals who need their own language to reflect their experiences.

Perceptions and discrimination
Those who are intersex and use the intergender identity are marginalized not only by society at large but by the intersex community itself. Intersex activists often claim those who are intergender are insignificant due to being a minority. Furthermore, many activists dismiss intergender because of their insistence on a very essentialist definition of intersex. These views are harmful because they perpetuate the blindness and intolerance that justify intersex genital mutilation and other pathological views of intersex. These views also silence those who feel mutilated psychologically and emotionally by the binary system and want to be viewed for more than their bodies.

Media
This section should be used to elaborate on the portrayal and representation of this identity in various forms of media, which can include a listing or links to various artists or movies, series, etc. Subheadings like Film, Television, Literature, and Music should be used where appropriate.
