Sex Non-Conforming

Not to be confused with Sexually Non-Conforming (SXNC or XNC)

Sex Non-Conforming (SNC) is an umbrella term for individuals who do not conform to typical sex standards or expectations. Examples of sex non-conformity include, but are not limited to:


 * Transgender men who consider themselves to have always physically been male, just not in the way being male is traditionally defined as. These men may also identify as MtM.
 * Transgender women who consider themselves to have always physically been female, just not in the way being female is traditionally defined as. These women may also identify as FtF.
 * Transgender or non-cisgender individuals who do not wish to medically transition. These individuals may also identify as transine.
 * Individuals who desire sex characteristics that are typically not associated with their gender identity, such as wanting facial hair while being a woman or wanting breasts while being a man. These individuals may be cisgender or non-cisgender.
 * Individuals who perceive their bodies as gender neutral, genderless, or otherwise not inherently gendered, regardless of one's physical characteristics.
 * Individuals who do not identify with sex whatsoever, often due to regarding sex categories as unnecessary, unhelpful, or invasive.
 * Individuals who desire nonhuman sex characteristics and/or genitalia. These individuals may identify as xenogenital.
 * Individuals who desire mixed sex characteristics and/or genitalia, such as both a penis and a vagina. These individuals may identify as salmacian.
 * Individuals who desire no sex characteristics and/or no genitalia. These individuals may identify as apothigenital, angenital, or angonadal.
 * Individuals whose desires surrounding their sex characteristics and/or genitalia are fluid, or who desire to be polymorphic. These individuals may identify as genitalfluid or morphisex.

Sex non-conformity centers around perceptions and ideas surrounding sex that diverge from typical ideas of sex. It also centers around desires related to one's sex that are either not deemed typical for their gender or not deemed typical in general.

Transsex individuals are sometimes considered sex-nonconforming, as desiring to change one's sex characteristics is inherently non-normative, especially if one is not transgender in addition to being transsex. However, transgender individuals are often expected to be transsex, therefore medically transitioning (or desiring to) as a transgender person may also be considered conformant by some people.

Intersex individuals are not typically considered sex non-conformists, as intersex is an umbrella term for sex variations that one must be born with.
