User:Interfemme/Salmacian draft

Salmacian refers to people who desire to or have transitioned to have a mixed-sex genital set.

Etymology
Salmacian is derived from Latin “-iánus” and the name "Salmacis," which is both a spring that's believed to change the sex of those who bathe in it, and the nymph who cursed it as told by Ovid in the fourth book of Metamorphosis. The earliest known use of the term in its modern context comes from The Angel's Dictionary, published by Raphael Carter on zir personal site in 1996, where it was defined as "a term for male-to-intersex and female-to-intersex transsexuals." The term's definition evolved to respect the differences between intersex and non-intersex experiences.

Community
''The top part of this section is more general, while the subsections are specific. A wide range of topics can be included here, such as impacts that people who identify as this term have on society, things specific to this identity's community (like ace rings to asexuals), and miscellaneous achievements or contributions by this group that do not fall into the other subsections. If not needed, it can be left blank between the Community heading and History subheading.''

History
Document the community's most important history, including facts such as key events, breakthroughs in improving the community's wellbeing and rights, or historical figures known to belong to the community.

Flag
''Optional section: Include a pride flag if one exists and there is evidence of its use beyond someone proposing a possible design. This section should also explain the meaning behind the flag's design and who created it. Do not add flags that are specifically for sub-groups; those belong on pages for those sub-groups. High quality PNGs or SVGs are preferred. References are required for this section.''

Distinction
Optional section: If the topic has similarities to another gender/orientation, use this section to highlight the differences between them.

Controversy
Much intra-community controversy exists over the name for this identity itself. With the origins of the name having ties to a myth involving what's often understood as a rape of Hermaphroditus by Salmacis, many people are admittedly uncomfortable with the name.

Perceptions and discrimination
''This section focuses more on the specific kinds of discrimination and oppression that these people may face. Examples would be mentioning systematic transphobia and non-binary erasure on the page for agender, mentioning rates of mental health issues in this group, etc.''
