age regressing to an older age (say, 10-12) is kind of underrepresented, which i get, but it's also kind of isolating sometimes. i frequently regress to about 12 because of a traumatic event that happened when i was thirteen
a genderclaimed term where your gender feels claimed by being intersex, overgrown/covered by being intersex, or "taken over" in a way that feels that intersexuality is reclaiming your gender.

Instead of misrepresenting terms that were created to describe intersex variations and infertility (Six sexes, not genders), as queer Jews we should come up with new, inclusive terms that are inspired by the gender nonconformity and non-heteronormative people and ideas in Judaism, in the same way Native Americans came up with the modern word of "Two Spirit" as an umbrella term. Language is always evolving and we don't need to and shouldn't misgender and misrepresent intersex people to try and find words for ourselves.
I like the term "נברא בין השמשות" ("Nivrah Bein HaShmashot")-"Created between the suns", which refers to the concept in Midrash of the liminal time between the end of the Sixth Day of Creation and the Seventh Day of Creation. It is said that during this time certain important objects, creatures, and concepts were created. The entities created during this time mostly follow themes of not fitting into certain binaries and/or not being able to be fully explained or rationalized, hence they were created "Between the suns", because they did not fit neatly into one category or another.
I've talked about this idea before and how I relate it to my transness, and I think it would be a perfect umbrella term for Jews whose gender and/or sexuality is outside of societal cishetnormativity.
Another term I like is "עוברים" ("Ovrim") ("Those who cross over"). Jews are known as "עברים" because of how we stand out and may seem to be transgressive or rebellious when we cross over boundaries, and this shares a root with "עברים". The term melds Jewish identity with gender nonconformity and/or transitioning and sexuality that isn't heterosexual.
Or maybe we can come up with another term! But regardless, it's important that we don't misappropriate terms that were created to describe intersex people (who still face mountains of stigma and discrimination and shouldn't be silenced or spoken over by trans people). And anyway, I think it's far more meaningful and beautiful to come up with our own terms rather than misuse centuries old terms that never had us in mind.
The Queer Jewish community is a thriving, invaluable community, and we deserve to create and use our own words.
I see where you are coming from and the way you want to be respectful of intersex people but I'm going to have to disagree. For one, one of these terms, the one in which someone born a man becomes like a woman later in life, distinguishes between one who spontaneously "turns" and one who is made that way by man (via castration). This was really the only kind of medical transition available in the bronze age but presumably if the other sexes could be affected in this way they would also be included.
These sexes can also be a starting point for discussions of where trans people fit into more traditional understandings of halachah and gender. While its unlikely to get the orthodox to agree to counting a trans man in a minyan, they may agree that he should wear tzitzit and tefillin. And for those trans jews who are still connected to their orthodox communities, or who are just very traditional in their following of halachah, these terms can be very important.
Imho, saris adam is the only one of those terms that's ok for non-intersex trans people to self-apply. And even then, it's a stretch - it's more about eunuchs than trans women, and (iirc) a saris adam is considered to be male for most halakhic purposes.
The others - saris ḥamah, ay'lonit, androgynos, and tumtum - are explicitly about intersex people, and trans people shouldn't self-apply them unless they're also intersex.
Yes, they can be a good starting point for trans halakha, but they're not genders and shouldn't be used as genders.
But how can we say "this term is only about intersex people and cannot be about trans people ever" when there was no way to transition in that way when these terms were written? The only type of sex altering transition available in the bronze age was castration, and if that was included doesn't it stand to reason that if it was possible at that time there would also be aylonit adam, androgynos adam and tumtum adam?
And as these are terms to describe the sex (not gender) spectrum why should we not both use them? It would be one thing if these were words created by the intersex community to refer explicitly to intersex people, but they are words created by a cis perisex society to refer to a few categories of body shapes. and people who are in the same body shape group are probably going to have many things on common regardless of if they were made that way by nature or by man.
Because those words have a very loaded and fraught history with the way that intersex people were and continue to be scrutinized, a history that perisex trans people do not have a right to. Those words weren't created just because some Rabbis looked at the natural diversity of human sexes and decided they needed words to describe them. They were created because the Rabbis were discussing ritual purity and marriage laws. Besides, just because a trans man might have the same body as an Aylonit after taking Testosterone doesn't mean they're the same gender- by halachic sex and gender designation, an Aylonit is still halachically a woman. Just because a trans woman might have the same body as a Saris after taking Estrogen doesn't mean they're the same gender- a Saris is still halachically a man. Aside from those terms being taken out of context and woefully misused, they just aren't useful for trans Jews who want to be affirmed in their gender in Jewish spaces.

Neshaveh (נשוה): a Jew-exclusive term that is similar to Alterhuman in nature. It refers to the state of having a soul, mind, or identity that is nonhuman. This can include alters, otherkin or alterhuman identities.
Neshaveh comes from the word for "equal/same/even souls/spirit," in reference to how in a Jewish belief, humans possess two souls that can act independently or work together.
In Judaism, there is a teaching that refers to humans as having two souls: One that is human-like, always seeking ascension, enlightenment, knowledge and spiritual evolution, the other that is animal-like and seeks survival, self-serving, materialism, and physical cravings. It's said that it's possible for someone to 'teach' their animal-soul to turn away from these physical desires and instead seek spiritual enlightenment, or to become equal (but not one with) the human-soul.
Neshaveh refers to this belief loosely as a base for beliefs in people who may identify more or completely with their nonhuman identity over their human form. This doesn't require the person to follow the spiritual beliefs, but they do need to be religiously Jewish, secular Jewish or ethnically Jewish to use this term.
The term was coined by Tirednowhasablog on a Discord message on September 16th, 2021.
The flag was designed by @themogaidragon, on august 29th, 2025. It was made combining this alterhuman flag (link), with black, white, tyrian purple and royal blue as colors. Xe changed the colors to make it not aggressive to the eyes, trying to not change them too much. Let xem know if it is hurting ur eyes!

Tumtum: a gendered sex describing a Jewish person whose sex/gender is described as obscured, unknown, hidden or private, having neither or lacking some key characteristics.
You can be born/develop into or transition into tumtum. One can be Tumtum Hamah through birth/natural development or Tumtum Adam through human intervention. Since Tumtum is rather of physical nature, Tumtum Adam is usually used by individuals who are transitioning towards neutrality, but it can sometimes be used by Jews has a Jewish equivalent to the agender spectrum. Tumtum Hamah is usually used for intersex variations where genitals are covered by skin, but it can also be used for other variations of the agenital spectrum. One can also label themselves tumtum without any specification.
Note that this is just my *personal* attempt to define tumtum, this definition isn't carved in stone.
Made taking my tumtum Hamah flag's colors (link), which were made mixing the flags by desactivated Tumblr user bigfootrights (link), and the ones made by Tumblr user gendertreyf (link) with a template inspired from mine for the Jewish gendered terms.
This flag is DIRECTLY referenced/inspired by @gendertreyf 's flags for the Jewish cultural genders/sexes, please also support his lovely original work!

Jewgender is a Jewish culturally-exclusive xenogender, meaning you may only use this term/flag if you are Jewish (inclusive of patrilineal Jews, secular, converts, etc - a Jew is a Jew!).
Credit for use of the flag in pfps, banners, etc is appreciated but not necessary. Please credit back to this post if you make edits of or take inspiration from this flag! Goyim/non-Jews may interact and share, but please do not use or clown in the reblogs/replies.
Someone who identifies as Jewgender may do so for any number of reasons, Including but not limited to:
Feeling connected to one or more of the eight genders/sexes listed in the Talmud, including both adam and hamah. Someone who identifies with multiple of the listed sexes/genders may do so due to gender fluidity, intersex identity, or other personal experiences.
Feeling connected to Jewishness itself: be it culture, religion and/or secularism, social justice, history, etc. This gender indicates a deep tie to Jewishness at your core, inherently intertwining itself with your gender and the way you carry yourself through the world.
As a punk/alternative gender - to piss off transphobes, goyim, etc.
All of the above, or another reason entirely. Again, a Jew is a Jew!
Versions of the flag listed above include the standard blank flag, the stripes and their meanings (again - these were directly referenced from the aforementioned flags!), an alternative flag that include "b'tzelem elohim" and "tzedek tirdof", and a Bundist /Jewish Labor Bund Jewgender flag.
Lizard: a presentation and/or identity flag exclusive to Jews. It’s for Jews who would like to reclaim being called lizard people and the history behind it- whether they identify with being green and/a lizard, anything to do with the illuminati, being in power, such as a government or lawyer, ‘shapeshifting’ or any other stereotype surrounding Jewish lizards.
[ID Starts
Two identical flags, each with seven stripes running horizontally. From the top down, the first stripe is a dark blue, the next stripe is a dusty sky blue/teal, the next sty tip is a dusty light green. The stripe after that is a dusty lavender. Under the lavender stripe, the three colors prior are mirrored. All stripes are equal in width other than the two dusty light green stripes. The only difference between the two flags is that one has a dark purple Star of David in the middle and the other does not.
