Interboy

Interboy, interbro, interguy, or interman is an exclusive gender for intersex individuals who identify as men in a uniquely intersex-way. They may feel as though they are an altered form of a man, or they may just wish to embrace the intersex part of their identity, despite feeling little to no connection to it.

To be an interboy, one does not have to have been assigned male at birth or be biologically close to male. Instead, they simply have to identify as a man in some shape or form, regardless of whether or not they have biological male characteristics.

If someone identifying as interboy has biological male traits, they may also identify as cisgender or ipsogender, however they do not have to if they feel cis does not match their experiences.

They may or may not be fluid or fluctuate between man-related identities, or (more specifically) intersex-related man identities.

This term was coined as many intersex individuals have a unique experience with manhood, due to their sex. This could overlap with being intergender, or another intersex-exclusive gender.

This term falls under the inter-system, where other similar genders and counterparts are listed.

History
The term was coined by Cryptocrew on February 19th of 2021, in order to assist and support intersex individuals who are connected to manhood and struggle to describe themselves.

Flags
The flag was coined by Cryptocrew on February 19th of 2021. Purple represents ones experiences, yellow represents being intersex, the blue circles represent connection to manhood and masculinity, the pink represents interboys with gender non-conformity and/or pronoun non-conformity, and the white represents community.

An alternative flag was made by Tumblr user intersexjoy on September 16th, 2022. The yellow and purple stripes are inspired by the intersex flag, the blue represents a unique type of manhood due to being intersex, and the pastel yellow stripes represent the diverse kinds of masculinity, femininity, genders, expression, and joy in the intersex community.
