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! (⁠˘⁠･⁠_⁠･⁠˘⁠)

i would probably expect a story with an intersex character if i saw that logo tbh! i don’t think it’s offensive, as you didn’t know and had no bad intent.

I see... It's still my fault for not knowing, so I'll change it as soon as I can!!! Thank you 👐🩷

no, no worries at all! don’t feel bad or at fault, especially since you are actively asking for input and changing the logo! (which i think the styling and colors are super cute btw)

also, here are some symbols that have been used in the bisexual community if that’s what you’re looking for :D

So many symbols I didn't know before all this :0

I'm really glad I made this post because I'm learning a lot!! Thank you 🩷🌸
