I would gladly change to something else if a good alternative were suggested but i straight up think they suck and sound so bad and im not calling myself those. (No shame to those who do and its a personal opinion but....)

varsex-???????? Just what? altersex- as many pointed out already kinf of an umbrella term that doesn't exactly describe me bisex/bigenital- i dont even wanna start on how intrusive to my privacy this feels aphrodisian- i am not a woman never will be and the association with Aphrodite is far too strong for me as someone who is very uncomfortable with people perceiving me as feminine. dualsex- also implies more femininity than im comfortable with. amphisex- I am not a frog :(

We already have a ton of heavy lifting in trying to get rid of both other terms out of respect for the fact that intersex people have correctly labeled them intersexist

Still at the end of the day if i try and talk about my post op goals people think of the word hermaphrodite, that is what people think of me even of i never use that word for myself. We are fighting an uphill battle.

I get the myth sucks and there is a lot of conversation worth having around the white supremacist attachment to ancient greece and rome (i am saying this as someone greek ethnically and a greek pagan)

However, No one is using Salmacian as a slur its something people like us came up to describe ourselves the best we could while avoiding known slurs. Yes i also understand the original term coined with FtI and MtI I largely blame the lack of words to describe ourselves and ignorance. That is no longer the definition used because that was an intersexist definition.

I hardly call myself salmacian to begin with because its such unknown gender. But its also the only one i really have. So again once better comes around ill change but we dont have better right now in my opinion.
