Question Is this logo offensive?

Hi guys! When I was designing the logo, I sincerely didn't know about this symbol and it was honestly just a coincidence that the symbol in the logo and the intersex* symbol are the same!

In the comic, I touch on many queer situations, mental health and disabilities, however, none of it is related to intersex people experiences, and now I'm worried that I've been unknowingly making fun of it or being offensive by having made my logo this way :(

Do you think it's wiser to change the logo? Aw man, I'm just so disappointed in myself, I'm really sorry

////Edit* Someone here informed me that the term intersex is better than hermaphrodite, so I changed the terms! Sorry for my ignorance! (⁠˘⁠・⁠_⁠・⁠˘⁠)

You can use both, tilt them a little side to side to make them form a heart!

i also found this, which could work, especially with the concept of "double" since it'd be like double has two O's [this is the image i found but i assume you wouldn't draw them as hearts since it's supposed to be the letter O].

just another suggestion, anyways. do whatever you think works best for your story!

You could also slightly curve the bottom of the second heart and open the top while curving it down slightly to make the vague shape of a U although that might be a bit of a stretch lul
