Intersex =/= Intersex

We’ve found that our intersex friends are a bit upset by the term intersex being used for anything with both sets of genitals, it’s a small minority like any other, so it’s a bit harder for them to speak up about this, but could the term bigenital or salmacian was used instead?
Reason being a lot of intersex folks go through a lot of medical and social problems, that aren’t about just having both genitals, i think salmacian would be more accurate to what the tag is being used for.

IMO that would not solve anything. “Salmacian” seems to be an obscure identity term, and we’re better off not appropriating it for what is, in vast majority, pure fetish fantasy. “Intersex” is not perfect either, but at least it’s well established, an understandable word even to total newcomers, and its local meaning (as in characters with various, largely imaginary, combinations of non-matching primary and secondary sexual characteristics, a la futa) and non-local meaning (as in intersex developmental conditions, a la Klinefelter’s Syndrome) are both well known enough that real mix-ups should not be an issue. It’s less than ideal, but similarly, most of the stuff tagged “lesbian” on this site has nothing to do with RL lesbianism and everything to do with male-gazey fantasy. And don’t get me started on the occupation tags lol.
There is ongoing work “in the staff room” to devise an improved system to tag sex, gender, and orientation. I don’t expect any major changes to be made to the related tags unless it’s to introduce and implement that system.

Since I’m dogshit sometimes when it comes to explaining, I’m going to just quote a staff member that gets the idea across from a relevant thread.

Please heed that tags are as much, if not more, for filtering and searching than identifying, and tags about genders and genitalia are very important in this, and what people are interested or not interested in porn do not nessesarily apply to what is stated to be.
@Background Pony #4922
Indeed, that’s correct, plus porn is what people get off to, or don’t get off to, and proper categorization and tagging for porn are not something that can just be ignored or modified for the sake of what is preferred.
I’m sorry, but generally people looking for things in porn like to see what they expect and are interested in, and tagging for that stuff is already imperfect, and often missing as it is. Tags are objective statements and hold no emotional weight.
I’ve been tagging things here for over ten years, and there’s still not a day that passes where even basic tags are applied consistently.
Something I do like on e6 is how a character’s sex and gender are not considered the same thing, because what people look for in terms of what they get off to is not going to nessesarily be what is stated but what is visualized.
Porn is like the one place where you should be absolutely transparent about what something depicted is.
To change something that currently anyone can look at and go from “oh I know what that is” to “tf is this” is an annoyance at best. There’s already several tags that describe different combos of ‘displays’. Aside from all this, something to remember is that these are drawings and not supposed to resemble real life. That’s where it should begin and end. Not to mention that the IRL medical term that describes the “in between” has been intersex for years, and the one for the “both sets” has been hermaphrodite for far longer. Tagging is already a PITA and I’m tired of people trying to muddy it worse than it needs to be.

I guess it’s not possible to change, POC have been fetishized for a while now and even though there’s usually racism involved in that conversation, noone changed their mind and usually don’t care.
