'''Tumtum''' ('''טֻומְטוּם''') is a gender from Jewish culture, where a person’s gender or sex is "hidden, indeterminate, obscured, or private". The closest modern western equivalent is [[agender]], [[neutrois]], or intersex. Historically, tumtum was usually assigned to [[intersex]]
It is used by some non-binary Jews to describe their gender similar to agender or neutrois. It is also used by intersex Jews whose conditions cause their sex to be obscured, used either as an [[intergender]], or just as a term alongside intersex. Additionally it can be used as an altersex term, as a Jewish-only version of [[angenital]], [[sexless]], etc.
