Endosex, also known as perisex or dyadic, refers to an individual who is not intersex. It describes people born with sex characteristics that fit typical binary notions of male or female body.[1][2][3][4] Endosex people can experience any gender identity or gender expression, as gender and sex are two different things.[5]

A dyadic person has a sexual anatomy which fits into the binary categories of ‘male’ and ‘female’. Some intersex people reject the term because ‘dyad’, meaning ‘pair’, upholds the idea that sex is binary." (Archived on 2019-03-12)

While genital configuration is most often used to assign gender at birth, it is not comprehensive, accurate, or even relevant to actual variations in physiology, biology, etc. Many people are assigned an endosex gender/sex at birth. But some find out later in life that their biological sex is not what they had expected based on their birth assignment. Endosex and perisex have been offered as alternatives to dyadic, as dyadic linguistically refers to a binary. Perisex and Endosex do not. Endosex seems to be the term that is gaining the most use generally." (Archived on 2021-10-29)
