no actually hermaphrodite is really offensive to us intersex people and you should seriously stop using that word. and before you go "well I heard an intersex person one time call themselves that/use the word and-" or "well dyadic people say-" no, just be quiet.

You refer to people as "they," not "it." Seriously.

"Intersex" is used when a person's hormones or primary and/or secondary sex characteristics are not typical or do not align with their chromosomes. Stevonnie could be intersex if they produce too much testosterone and have 2 X chromosomes. They could be intersex if they have XY chromosomes and a penis, but a uterus. There are SO MANY WAYS to be intersex. Most people think there are 2 kinds of intersex- people who have female parts and male chromosomes (or vice versa), and people who have non-descript ambiguous genitalia.

People should stop assigning Stevonnie a gender based on their presentation. People should stop saying "hermaphrodite." People should stop equating "transgender" with "intersex."

I can't believe it's 2015 and I can talk in real-time with someone from across the globe and still people can't understand that others' gender and sex is NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.
