'''Ipsogender''' or '''ipso gender''' is a [[Gender Modality|gender modality]] that describes an [[intersex]] person whose [[gender identity]] is the same as the gender they were medically [[Assigned gender|assigned]].<ref>''[https://www.translanguageprimer.org/primer/#ipsogender Transgender language primer]'' </ref> An ipsogender person may or may not experience [[gender dysphoria]] and/or identify as [[trans]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://intersex-ionality.tumblr.com/post/155168409354/part-13-im-struggling-a-lot-with-my-identity-at|date=30 December 2016|archive-url=https://archive.is/W2iSL|archive-date=12 June 2020|title=Anonymous asked: im struggling a lot with my identity at the moment.}}</ref> | |||
It was coined by the intersex sociologist Dr. Cary Gabriel Costello in 2014:<ref name="Costello">{{Cite web |title=Cis Gender, Trans Gender, and Intersex |author=Cary Gabriel Costello |work=intersexroadshow.blogspot.com |date=5 August 2014 |access-date=16 May 2020 |url= https://intersexroadshow.blogspot.com/2014/08/cis-gender-trans-gender-and-intersex.html }}</ref> | |||
{{quote|what I would suggest doing is adding to the terms "cis" and "trans" another term often used in scientific terminology. In chemistry, which gives us the language of cis and trans isomers, there are chemicals based upon a ring structure, called arene rings. When a chemical substitution is made in the same place on the ring, this is referred to as "ipso" substitution. | |||
If we were to add the term "ipso gender" to trans and cis gender, we could perhaps describe intersex experience more accurately. A cis gender intersex person would be one with an intermediate gender identity, since that "matches" their birth sex. An ipso gender intersex person would identify with the binary sex they were medically assigned (the social sex substituted for their intersex birth status being the same as their identified sex). And a trans gender intersex person would be one who identifies with the binary sex other than the one they were assigned by doctors.}} | |||
