  1. ^ Mod H with Lad (2014 November 5) “an alternative to "dyadic"”, in Fuck Yeah Sex Education[1] (reblog), actuallyintersex: Tumblr, retrieved 27 April 2021:
    Peri is a Greek prefix meaning “about” “around” “near” “surrounding”. It does not imply a sex binary nor does it imply non intersex people strictly fit a binary system, rather it suggests that there are people who are closer to what has been constructed (in western culture) to be “male” and “female” and those people do not fall into the intersex umbrella.
