#sry negative

[yourfaveisintersex]

Queen Chrysalis from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is intersex, apothiromantic (link), heartless aromantic (link) and evil aromantic (link), and she has ovotestes with a XX SRY-negative genotype! She is okay with any pronouns and referential language, but prefers she/her and feminine terms like "Queen" due to Equestrian culture being matriarchal and enjoying being in a position of power.

Intersex flag-only and popular apothiromantic flag edits under the cut, along with research journals anon provided about her intersex variation existing in real-life horses! Obligatory content warning for pathologizing language in said research papers.

Requester elaboration I added too late because I forgot before people reblogged without it lol oops: " my canon/canon-adjacent reason for headcanoning her as intersex to begin with is that she's cast as Elphaba Thropp/The Wicked Witch of the West (who is canonically intersex in the original Wicked novel) in the MLP reimagining of The Wizard of Oz! (My Little Pony: Classics Reimagined - The Unicorn of Odd) where she's called "Wicked Princess of the West" instead of "witch" but has the same background and everything.... just as a Changeling Pony instead of a person!
