Worms

White: “Would you still love me if I was a worm?”

Green, suddenly flushed: “A worm?”

White: “…why are you saying it like that.”

Green, sweating: “No reason.”

White: “GREEN.”

Green, unable to stop themselves: “…what kind of worm...?”

White: “WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHAT KIND OF WORM.”

Green: “I just— I need to know the species.”

White: “You need to- GREEN????”

Green: “Are you a segmented worm or a flatworm or-”

White: “GREEN.”

Green: “…are you slimy?”

White: “GREEN!!!”

Green, quietly: “I would love you more if you were a worm.”

White: “WHAT?????"

Welp……That’s not good-

INTERSEX IS NOT:

- species that all have the same or both genitalia

- species/characters that can change their genitals to be whatever they want at will

- species/characters that change their genitals situationally

- aliens that can reproduce asexually or with anyone from the same species

INTERSEX IS:

- a person/animal/organism/character that is part of a species with two or more distinct sexes (at least within the social constructs of the species), who exists between these binaries (mixed, ambiguous, lacking, or incomplete genitalia, hormone differences, chromosome differences, or differences in/mixed sexual characteristics)

PLEASE for the love of g-d stop calling your alien species that has both genitals or a uniform set of genitals across the species ""intersex"". intersex people are tired of seeing this. it does not accurately describe intersexness at all. you can use the terms "monogenital" (for all members of the species having the same uniform genitalia) or "bigenital" (for all members of the species having both genitals)

i think the actual scientific term for this is "hermaphrodite," which regarding human beings has some unsavory connotations but to all my fellow specevo nerds this is the word we use

Please don't use this word for sentient species, or really any species. It is considered offensive by Intersex people no matter the use case because it is a slur. There has recently been a large push in biology to use other terms. Biologists are already adapting and finding new terms to use. You do not and should not ever need to use "hermaphrodite." Don't say that.

Instead, here are some terms currently being used/proposed:

- Cosexual (both sets of reproductive organs- in current use in biology and botany)

- Bigenital (both sets of genitalia)

- Unigenital (one singular set of genitalia, same across all of the species)

please use these instead for your fantasy creatures! "hermaphrodite" is a slur no matter what context. please help intersex people in the fight to remove a word that has a long, hateful, violent history- one tied to a lot of horrific medical abuse and death- from our vocabularies. thank you

For Intersex Jam 2026, I made an informative zine. “Intersex Inclusion: A Crash Course for Creatives” is a quick primer on how to include intersex experiences in your creative works. The text-only version* is available for free, licensed under CC BY 4.0, and I encourage others to repost and use this zine in place of asking random non-activist intersex folks about how to represent our entire community with dignity.

* (it's supposed to be in comic form, but due to rampant computer crashes, I wasn’t able to assemble the artwork into a screen-reader accessible PDF in time for the deadline.)

Overwhelmingly, the most common question I see from allies to random bystanders who just so happen to be publicly intersex is “how do I include intersex people?” I know they mean well, but it gets tiring. I hold no enmity for them in my heart; in spite of that, I’m tired. I want to see folks like me being considered at all—without having to see random, non-activist intersex folks awkwardly struggling to rehash the same three points again and again because well-meaning but ignorant allies keep asking the same question of non-activists while prostrating and flagellating themselves over how they didn’t spawn into existence as a perfect ally. It’s such a demanding task that thinking about it makes me want to roll over and take a nap. Fortunately, I am an old dog incapable of learning new tricks; hence, I am back on my bullshit to provide a bunch of infographics loosely assembled into a zine. I made sure to pack it with resources and citations good for your nutrition, all with love from the universe. Take my hand. Let’s be inclusive of intersex experiences in our creative works, together.

This is a zine specifically focused on creating and developing intersex characters, how to handle intersexuality in a variety of genres and creative project types, how to worldbuild while conscious of intersexuality, and common pitfalls for uninformed allies new to writing intersex folks. For references more specific to writing, see versegm’s “An Intersex Writing Reference” and Hans Lindahl’s “Tips for Writing an Intersex Character with Grace.” [Content warning: in order to respectfully but realistically talk about intersex history, this zine contains brief, undetailed discussions of topics such as medical gaslighting and abuse, sexual harassment and assault, and medical and sexual abuse against children. These are included strictly for the purpose of educating on intersex history and experiences. Slurs and bigoted or discriminatory language towards intersex folks and traits are included without censorship, also to educate on their history and meaning. Full content warnings are available within the zine itself.]
