People Need To Stop Leaving Intersex People Out Of Conversations About Reproductive Justice.

people need to stop leaving intersex people out of conversations about reproductive justice. 

intersex people are routinely sterilized at birth, and the choice of whether or not we want to have children is taken from us before we even can reach an age where we would be ready to make that choice. 

intersex people and their families are lied to about surgeries that have no medical benefit, because doctors are so worried about making sure that they uphold the binary system and create people who look “normal” instead of preserving our right to consent to what happens to our bodies. 

intersex people are often denied access to fertility treatment, or have many barriers to accessing infertility treatment because it is believed that we will not want to have children, or that we should not want to have children. 

yet, intersex issues are rarely, if ever, brought up in the context of reproductive rights, despite the fact that bodily autonomy and reproductive justice is a huge issue for the intersex community. 

if you’re fighting for reproductive justice, please consider fighting for our rights to choose as well.

I mad agree with this.

i am once again begging y’all to stop saying that lesbians are more privileged than the other lgbt sexualities. we are LITERALLY the smallest sexual minority group in the community. not to mention,

- our flag is never respected or used, and people will come up with any excuse to disrespect it and it’s creator

- our terms and labels are co-opted by people who aren’t lesbians and when we ask them to stop we are labeled as bigots

- our sexuality is fetishized and misrepresented in media only to pander to cishet men and about 80% of the representation we get is only cis white feminine women

- don’t even get me started on the way y’all treat lesbians of color, trans lesbians, non binary lesbians, and butch&femme lesbians

if you aren’t a lesbian, you need to be fucking speaking up about lesbophobia. people don’t listen to us. the amount of times i’ve seen a bi woman speak out against lesbophobia and a lesbian be called biphobic for saying the same thing is .. astounding. if you think that lesbians have some kind of “monosexual privilege” or have it BETTER due to how hyper sexualized we are, you’re a lesbophobe. pure and simple.

[terfs, radfems, truscum, and transmeds don’t touch this post.]

i don’t even know what to say anymore
