Ipsogender is a gender modality for “cis intersex” individuals. It refers to intersex individuals who identify with the gender assigned to them at birth- either because they were coercively assigned a gender, or because it was not known they were intersex until later in life, making them "cis". However, they recognize that cis-ness does not apply to intersex individuals in the same ways it applies to perisex individuals, and so a cis intersex idividual may identify with ipsogender to underline the fact that they are not empowered by or protected under cissexism. Ipsogender people may or may not also identify as ipsosex. For the opposite term, see ultergender.
