Advenagender
Advenagender is a term for an intersex person who would identify as the gender they were assigned at birth (but not necessarily as cisgender or binary), but struggle to do so because of how perisexism has made them feel alienated from that gender and from perisex people who identify similarly. Advenagender can be thought of as a reclamation of oneâs gender- as a way of saying, âIâm going to identify this way on my own terms, regardless of what perisexists have to say.â

Definitions
- "A term for an intersex person who would identify as/with their the gender they were assigned at birth (but not necessarily as cis or binary), but struggle to do so because of how perisexism has made them feel alienated from that gender and from perisex people who identify similarly. Advenagender can be thought of as a reclamation of oneâs gender â as a way of saying, âIâm going to identify this way on my own terms, regardless of what perisexists have to say.â The -gender suffix can be replaced by whatever one sees fit (e.g. advena- woman, girl, era, feminine, etc. / man, boy, vir, masculine, etc.) This term isnât intended to replace âAFAB transfem / AMAB transmascâ; I coined it because I personally donât identify at all with AFAB/perisex transmasculinity despite being advenavir, but other intersex people are fully entitled to the terms they feel suit them best. This term can be used by anyone who considers themself intersex, regardless of the nature of their intersexuality or whether theyâve been professionally diagnosed." - mogaimom, 2020[1]
