Pov: You're An Introvert

pov: you're an introvert

you: out of nowhere you remembered something embarrassing you said 2 months ago

your brain: WHY'D YOU SAY THAT?!

your anxiety: hi motherfucker did you miss me?

aromantics with conflicting identity labels (aromantic homoromantic, aromatic biromantic, etc) ARE TOTALLY VALID AND I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!

intersex people are and have always been valid and i love y'all!<33

"no children are being forced to take hrt or have surgeries that change the appearance of their genitals" intersex children are, actually

"everyone was assigned a gender at birth" there are intersex people who were not assigned a gender at birth

"trans women are amab trans people and trans men are afab trans people" there are intersex people who were assigned male at birth and later transitioned medically and socially to male, and intersex people who were assigned female at birth and later transitioned medically and socially to female

"assigned gender at birth is a 1:1 predictor of tma vs tme experience" there are intersex people who were assigned female at birth and experienced violence for being a woman with a penis + testes + secondary sex characteristics like facial hair + having a testosterone-dominant hormone profile, and had to transition medically and socially to be socially and medically recognized as women as adults

"bodies born with sex variations are medically nonbinary" no, they are intersex, and intersex people can be a binary gender if they want to be

"nonbinary people who want non-cisnormative sex variations are mentally ill/diseased for wanting a disordered body" no, bodies with sex variations are not disordered, and it harms intersex people for them to be seen as disordered regardless of if the body in question was born that way or created through surgery

"cis women don't experience transphobic body policing/will never understand how it feels to have your womanhood constantly in question and subject to violence over things you can't change" intersexism overlaps heavily with transphobia and an intersex woman can both identify as cis and have a penis, testes, be testosterone-dominant, etc, and have visible signs of those traits. an intersex woman can also have been amab or be currently legally designated as male by the government and still identify as cis.

stop saying intersexist shit in your trans discourse thanks

hot people listen to rock, punk and metal :)

so as someone who has being bullied and faced transphobia and queerphobia at school, i decided that since this year i'm in a new school i wouldn't come out for my safety and mental health.

however, that's exhausting. i'm tired of playing a character and pretending that i am someone i'm not. i'm tired of being deadnamed and misgendered all the time. i'm tired of not feeling safe there.

at school, i'm only out to some close friends and they're really supportive but to safeguard my personal safety they have to deadname me and misgender me most of the time, which is also a bit exhausting.

and like even though my teachers are showing that they're queer-friendly, i still feel scared of my classmates knowing i'm queer and they're actually starting to notice i'm queer which scares me cause i don't wanna suffer again.

sometimes i just feel like being homeschooled because at least i'd be able to be named correctly, gendered correctly, be who i am and dress the way i want cause my parents are really supportive and i love them so much.

btw sorry for this giant text but i needed to vent. love y'all and don't forget you're valid and loved<3.
