Is this logo offensive?

[u/Kokovi_illust]

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! (⁠˘⁠･⁠_⁠･⁠˘⁠)

Intersex person here, I am not remotely offended by it. What's more offensive is the term 'hermaphrodite'.

Always or just when applied to humans? As in how it's weird to call humans male/female but perfectly accurate when describing animals.

Using it to describe a species of fish would be alright, but not humans. Hermaphroditism in animals is not the same as intersex in humans. There is a wide variety of intersex conditions that have different effects and manifestations, meanwhile hermaphroditism in animals is how the entire species sex functions inherently.

Which is why it's weird to apply it to humans at all.
