(Not to be confused with altegender or alterhumangender)
Altergender is a term for people who are transsex and/or altersex and feel as though they do not fit the roles of transgender and cisgender due to this. An example of this would be an AFAB woman who is transsex, and no longer has female genitals, but still is a woman. Due to this, they may feel as though the term cisgender doesnt fit their experience with womanhood.
Some reasons this might occur include, but are not limited to...
- Someone with gender dysmorphia who got horomone treatment and/or surgery to alleviate this dysmorphia, while not feeling dysphoric or identifying with another gender.
- Someone who got horomone treatment and/or surgery to be altersex or transsex, due to not feeling connected to their sex traits, while not feeling dysmorphoc or dysphoric.
- An AFAB lesbian or otherwise sapphic woman who got male genitals for the sexual side of their life, due to their own preference/fantasy.
- An AMAB vincian or otherwise achillean man who got female genitals for the sexual side of their life, due to their own preference/fantasy.
- A transsex person who was born with an intersex body, however due to their intersex traits being non-consentually removed when they were young, they feel as though the terms cisgender and transgender don't fit their experiences.
