'''Altersex''' or '''Alteradic''' is a catch-all term to describe a state of having or desiring [[sex]] traits, or a combination of sex characteristics, that deviate from what would be considered the sex characteristics of a [[müllerian]] or [[wolffian]] individual, while also not having those particular divergent sex characteristics from birth.
[[Intersex]] individuals can also be altersex. Intersexness is not inherently altersex, as the variant sex characteristics are from birth, rather than being modified or changed later, or wanting variant sex characteristics that do not match their current sex characteristics.
Line 17:
* Individuals who desire to change their body such that one has ambiguous sex characteristics or a mix of sex characteristics. Terms relating to this experience are [[salmacian]], [[afabris]], [[amabris]], [[AMAB-V|AMAB-V,]] [[AFAB-P]], and [[sinealt]], among others.
*Individuals who desire or imagine their body as having little to no sex characteristics, or missing sex characteristics. Terms to describe this include [[angenital]] and [[angonadal]].
* Individuals who desire or imagine their body as having sex characteristics that are not naturally possible in humans or animals. Terms to describe this include [[xenogenital]], [[floragenital]], [[astrogenital]], [[cyberex]], [[machinex]], and [[morphisex]].
*Individuals who desire or imagine their body as having sex characteristics that are animalistic in nature. The specific term for this is [[faunagenital]].
*Individuals who desire gonads and/or reproductive traits that are different than what they were born with or currently have, and may or may not be biologically possible. A term to describe this is [[diffprodu]].
Line 26:
* Characters who fit criteria stated in the "real individuals" section.
*Characters born with a combination or mix of sex characteristics that would be considered intersex in the real world but are not in the world of the fiction.
*

* Characters of a fictional/impossible/alien sex that does not fit the male/female sex binary (that is considered normal for their species within the fiction).
* Characters who can change their sex through shape-shifting or other fictional means.
