Gai: Oh my god.

So I’ve mentioned how for intersex people our assignment as boys or girls can change throughout our lives, how we can be altered or given hormones in relation to that at any age, but there’s even more possibilities than that.

You see, people aren’t only assigned a gender at birth, but are also assigned a sex at birth. For dyadic people, your gender assignment and sex assignment always match without anything special being done (unless you were raised neutrally). While this can occur for intersex people too (especially those of us whose intersexuality goes unnoticed or presents later in life), it isn’t always the case.

For intersex people whose intersexuality is evident at birth, assignment at birth can get tricky.

Some people are also assigned into a one sex category but “”raised as”” the gender opposite to that. For example, someone can be assigned male at birth sex-wise but still “”rasied as”” female gender wise, oftentimes because they’re deemed “not male enough.” The reverse applies.

Some are also assigned no sex (unknown/ambiguous) and they may be “”raised as”” neutral, male, or female. Even those who are assigned a sex may be raised neutrally.

This is why cisness and transness can be complicated for intersex people. Some of us aren’t cis but aren’t trans, some of us can be considered cis but can also be considered trans. Some of us can technically be trans but due to how we feel about our assignments identify as cis, and vice versa. Some of us have no idea where we fit, because with the definitions that exist, we don’t. And it gets even more complicated when it comes to more specific terms like transmasc and transfem.

This is simply reality for us. This is our lived experience, and it isnt our fault that the way perisex people talk about these things doesn’t take into mind our experiences. We aren’t trying to blur lines. You’re the ones who drew the lines too sharp.

[Free to reblog, but perisex people keep your negative opinions to yourself.]

white people need to understand that all your posts about standing with us, and supporting us (us being poc as a collective) and whatever literally means fuck all if you don't do anything.

are you ignoring posts about racism because the language is too aggressive? [see: the use of 'you' as opposed to 'we] are you only interacting with posts about racism written by white people? are you making these loud proclamations on your blogs (and tagging every damn shit in sight, which just looks performative as fuck and clogs up our tag; i don't CARE what you have to say as a white person, i literally don't!) just ease your own conscience and so you can appear woke?

i can't tell you the amount of times i've scrolled past long ass essays on this app of white people now realizing their place on the racial hierarchy. in 2021. after how many information is out there, and how much theory and papers have been fucking handed to y'all. (this is about grown ass adults btw. there are 15 year olds on here who are more educated in these topics than y'all are, that shit's embarassing).

i can't tell you how i annoyed i've gotten because it's the fucking equivalent to a white person crying in front of me because they realized that the world is racist.

whoop de fucking doo, welcome to the real world. i don't really care if i sound rude because it's annoying and it does nothing for those of us of color on this site. it doesn't help us in anyway. and the worst is when y'all come onto OUR posts and post your white tears there. what the hell is that supposed to accomplish? what the fuck is the purpose? how does that help us in any way?

and it kinda really pisses me off that those posts crying about realising that racism exists will get thousands of notes and that posts talking about actual racism, and how it works - especially in online spaces - written by actual people of colour, get a fraction of them with the added touch of harassment by the same white ppl btw, because we managed to hurt your little feelings.

Me, trying to scan Rock Lee's hair like a barcode: hehe.

The scanner: Green bean.

Rock Lee: ...

Me: ...I was about to say you're priceless but what the FUCK!

“But the age of consent is-” Okay but hear me out: stop trying to fuck kids

if trying to work out if you are gay or bisexual is giving you anguish its ok to just not worry abt it i think. you actually dont have to pick one. these labels are supposed to help you find ppl who experience similar things to you and honestly not knowing if youre one or the other doesnt mean u cant talk to and relate to the experiences of gay AND bisexual ppl. its fine.
