Some intersex flags! (Part 2)

Part 2 of making flags for intersex traits and variations that were flagless! (Part one is here.) There will be a part 3 & 4 and then all the main intersex traits/variations will officially have flags.

Please read (and reblog) our intersex guide. It is so important to understand intersex people, their bodies, and their health!

Accessory Ovary

The flag is based on the uterus didelphys and polyorchidism flags. The A is meant to represent the name of this variation. The three circles are meant to represent ovaries. The plus symbol is meant to stand for people who have more than one accessory ovary (aka 3+ ovaries.)

Supernummary Ovary

The flag is based on the uterus didelphys and polyorchidism flags. The S is meant to represent the name of this variation. The three circles are meant to represent ovaries. The plus symbol is meant to stand for people who have more than one accessory ovary (aka 3+ ovaries.)

Cervical Duplication

The flag is based on the uterus didelphys flag. In the center of the flag, the shape is meant to vaguely resemble a uterus with two cervixes.

Cervical Duplication + Uterus Didelphys

The flag is based on the uterus didelphys flag, with the shapes being changed to vaguely resemble two uteruses with cervixes.

Cervical Agenesis

The flag is based on the MKRH Syndrome flag. The symbol is meant to represent a uterus with an X over where the cervix would be.

Cervical Hypoplasia

The flag is based on MKRH Syndrome flag. The symbol is meant to represent a uterus with a minus symbol over where the cervix would be, representing its smaller size.

Uterine Hypoplasia

The flag is based on MKRH Syndrome flag, with a minus with a minus symbol, representing its smaller size.

Anorchia

The flag is based on the ovarian agenesis flag. The circle with the X represents a lack of gonads.

Monorchidism

The flag is based on the ovarian agenesis flag. The circle in the symbol represents the testicle itself. The 1 represents how there is only one gonad, and the M represents the name of this variation.

Unilateral Ovarian Agenesis

The flag is based on the ovarian agenesis flag. The circle in the symbol represents the ovary itself. The 1 represents how there is only one gonad, and the U represents the name of this variation.

Aromatase Excess Syndrome (AEXS/AES)

The flag uses the hyperestrogenism symbol, as it is a form of hyperstrogenism. The shades of pink represent the feminizing effects of the variation. The rainbow and monochrome coloring represents the gender spectrum, and how any gender can have this variation.

Classic CAH (Simple-Virilizing)

The flag is based on the CAH flag. The SV represents the name of this variation.

Classic CAH (Salt-Wasting)

The flag is based on the CAH flag. The SW represents the name of this variation.

Nonclassic CAH

The flag is based on the CAH flag. The NC represents the name of this variation.

Leydig Cell Hypoplasia (LCH)

The shades of blue represent the masculinizing effects of testosterone. The grey represents hypoandrogenism, and low levels of androgens. The grey circle represents the testes, and the underdeveloped/absent leydig cells within them.

17-KSR Deficiency

The purple and yellow represents that this variation is a form of intersex. The shades of grey surrounding the blue represents the "barrier" preventing androstenedione from converting into testosterone. The Ks and 17 represents the name of this variation.

Aromatase Deficiency

The purple and yellow represents that this variation is a form of intersex. The shades of blue represents the hyperandrogenism, and the pink surrounded by grey represents hypoestrogenism. The AD represents the name of this variation.

Mild Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (MAIS)

The flag is based on the AIS flag. The M represents the name of this variation.

Partial Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (PAIS)

The flag is based on the AIS flag. The Ps represents the name of this variation.

Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (CAIS)

The flag is based on the AIS flag. The Cs represents the name of this variation.

I suspect I might have undiagnosed MAIS, however, I only discovered this recently after getting on estrogen based HRT from past stuff plus the fact I thought it was kind of weird that I was already in a feminine to androgynous range, when attempting to do voice training. Body and facial were also extremely thin and facial hair was patchy. It also took me almost into adulthood for a large majority of these things to show up.

I don't know if I should consider myself intersex. I don't know if I really personally would use the label myself even if I am seeing as it's been something with relatively minimum impact on my life.

Secondly, while I don't have access to these records readily (it's been 10 years so hunting them down is going to be a nightmare and half) I vaguely remember seeing other hormonal anomalies when I was younger. (Namely high estrogen and an unusually early surge at that.) But I also had normally functioning testicles and only those from birth as far as I'm aware. I'm not sure what could of been going on with that, without much else to go on I'm going to assume it might of been vials getting mixed up.

Hi anon.

It makes sense to me that you would be considering if you had MAIS--it seems like there's a lot of things that would line up for you based on your experience. People with AIS have XY chromosomes and testes, so the fact that you had functioning testicles from birth doesn't necessarily mean that you can't have MAIS. With MAIS, your body would still have some response to testosterone, so it makes sense why you might have had some aspects of a testosterone based puberty but not necessarily a completely typical puberty, and explain how your body is reacting to estrogen HRT now.

Honestly, I think it's all up to you what you would want to do next, and there's no wrong answers. If you feel happy living your life knowing that this might be something that applies to you but not really doing much else about it, that's okay. If you want to search your medical records or try to get genetic testing for MAIS, that's also okay. On this blog, we also do support informed self diagnosis--we understand the many barriers to medical care, the challenges of finding an intersex informed doctor, all the oppression in the medical system, etc. If you are interested in interacting in intersex spaces, you can always say that you suspect that you're intersex or questioning if you're intersex or something similar to that. At the end of the day, it's about what you think makes the sense for your own life, and what feels right for you at this point in your journey.

Feel free to reach back out if you have any questions about accessing medical records, the diagnosis process, or anything else! Best of luck, anon.

Current batch of PCs in my weekly Magic Assholes in Space campaign.

They've escaped from a prison ship, gambled their way out of medical debt, stole a ship, nearly died by going too fast, crashed the Rat King's coronation, and then escaped said coronation.

They're doin great!

Tem coisa mais doce que alguém te cativando o tempo todo? Ir minando aos poucos sua defesa própria. Tem coisa mais forte que alguém te invadindo aos poucos? Compartilhando até dos mais íntimos segredos.
