'''Altersex''' is a catch-all term to describe a state of having sex characteristics, or a combination of sex characteristics that deviate from what would be considered [[Dyadic|dyadic/perisex]], while also not being [[intersex]]. Altersex is intended to be used mostly (but not exclusively) for fictional characters, to describe body plans that are not found naturally in humans but are not considered intersex within the fiction. |

In the case of real people using this as an term, those who have a mental body plan/view of their “true” self that has a body that does not fit traditional human sexes may call themselves altersex, as well as body who have under gone HRT and/or sexual reassignment surgery. Although, like many labels, the term altersex shouldn't be applied to real people unless they're okay with it. |
