Abstract
This article theorizes inter time as a critical intervention into normative life courses governed by whiteness, cisheteronormativity, able-bodiedness and endonormativity. We explore how intersex people are positioned as temporal disruptions: outside, behind, or threatening to linear, coherent timelines of birth, reproduction, productivity, and death. Building on queer, crip, Indigenous, and Black temporalities, we develop the notion of inter time as a messy, non-linear, self-authored relationship to time – a joyous refusal of the timelines that mark intersex people as failed or tragic. We examine how endonormativity – the assumption that only ‘male’ and ‘female’ exist – underpins dominant temporalities and restricts intersex lives to scripts of disorder and deviance. In contrast, inter time foregrounds joy and resistance. We centre intersex joy alongside queer, crip, Indigenous and Black joy to imagine vibrant, liberatory intersex futures. This work aims to disrupt intersex deficit narratives and invites further integration of intersex studies into broader critiques of time. We ask: What does inter time offer to theorizing temporality? And what might it mean to live – and thrive – on intersex time?

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
