intergender as identity / label

[ReineD]

Here’s the thing about gender. There are basically three states, with the third that includes dozens and dozens of subtly different ways to indicate they are not the first two. The three major forms of gender are Man, Woman, or Other.

Man or Woman are pretty easy to understand. They apply to both the cis-people (the people whose sense of gender agrees with their male or female birth-sex) and to transsexuals who do solidly identify as the sex opposite than their birth-sex. As to the third form of gender, the more popular overall headings we can use instead of "Other", are Non-Binary or Gender-Nonconforming, or people can discuss whether it should be something else. Or, maybe it can simply be "Other". It doesn’t really matter. What matters is that it is something other than Man or Woman. In any case, under this third category of Non-Male and Non-Female, are literally dozens of different ways that people can identify. "Intergender" is one of them. See a compilation of all the different terms:

People who feel they are neither male nor female (or man or woman) can choose one from the list they feel best describes themselves, or they are perfectly free to come up with their own new term if it is not there. The point is, no one can choose a gender label for you. You are the only one who can determine how you want to identify. You don’t need to seek approval.

In fact, you might consider changing your avatar description from Summer-Storm to Intergender, if this is the description you like best! And if in the future you feel it should be something else, then you can change it again, as your understanding of yourself deepens.

Last, you mention that the term "genderqueer" is not specific enough. The trouble is, none of these terms can fully describe your own specific gender in just one word. If you meet someone to whom you want to define yourself, you can start by saying you are Intergender and then answer any questions they are bound to have.
