Just A Reminder That BetterHelp Is Selling Your Fucking Data And That They Themselves Have Said At Industry

just a reminder that BetterHelp is selling your fucking data and that they themselves have said at industry meetings that they're a data-driven company more than a people-driven company

It feels like for a while in there that people were dropping them as a sponsor but now that the controversy has slightly dimmed there are so many ads for them again; do not give them your information, do not give them your money

I know insurance is a pain in the ass and mental health treatments cost too much out of pocket for most people. So do they, that's why they're making this little bait and switch operation. Helping people is, at best, a side product of their data harvesting, and at worst just a trick to lure people in.

What is intersex?

It's hard to define, and what being intersex is may vary depending on who you ask. Simply put, being intersex means a person has physical traits that don't completely match the category of male or female. This can mean chromosomally, hormonally or anatomically. Some may define being intersex is a medical condition or disorder, a disability, their sex or just an aspect of their identity.

What does being intersex look like?

There are over 30 different ways to be intersex. Some people are born with chromosomal differences, e.g. XXY chromosomes (klinefelter syndrome), X0 chromosomes (turner syndrome), or being born XX but with typically female anatomy or XY with typically male anatomy. Most people when they think of intersex, they think of ovotesticular syndrome, where someone is born with ovaries AND testes, though this condition isn't the most common way being intersex presents.

cont.d

Some people born intersex may have missing anatomical, enlarged anatomical features or shrunken anatomical features, others may have features outside what is typical for their assigned sex (e.g. gynecomastia). Other ways being intersex can present are through hormones - high estrogen in those that are otherwise "typically male" or high testosterone in those that are otherwise "typically female".

*What NOT to say to an intersex person*

- So, what's in your pants?

What TO say to an intersex person

- Hi, how was your day?

- Here, have my entire months salary :]

(just talk to them like any other person)

How can you be an ally?

- Stop comparing intersex people to transgender or nonbinary people.

- Stand up for the rights of intersex people, especially in places like sports, healthcare and social spaces.

- Avoid intersexist terminology (tme/tma) or misusing terminology (amab/afab).

- Acknowledge internalised intersexism, and do something about it!!

- Avoid using intersex people as a tool for your arguement. End ID

Tumblr is doing some stupid AI shit so go to blog settings > Visibility > Prevent third-party sharing.

i love you weird queers. i love you neopronouns. i love you microlabels. i love you labels people deem confusing/contradictory. i love you label hoarders. i love you kinky asexuals. i care you loveless folks. i love you queerplatonic relationships. i love you attractions outside of just romantic and sexual. i love you vastness of the queer experience.

i love you queers who are unabashedly yourself no matter how strange people may find your identity, and embrace deconstructing the norm and supposed rules of identities.

Okay so this was meant to be a joke with my partner (@ghost-likes-drawing ) but I actually like this flag a bunch so
