Because I Was Now A Man, I Could Not Speak About What It Was Like To Be A Woman. Because I Had Been A

Because I was now a man, I could not speak about what it was like to be a woman. Because I had been a woman, I could never really speak about what it was like to be a man. Do the math: I could not speak. It was a double erasure, a double bind, in which every experience I had was false, and so nothing I said was credible. I could no longer derive authority from my experiences before transition, and shouldn’t even cite them — I had never “really” been a woman, so those things hadn’t happened — but those experiences could always be weaponized against me to prove I wasn’t “really” the man I claimed to be. They call it erasure, when this happens. I wasn’t prepared for how literal the term was. Every day, I could feel myself disappear.

What if this pride month you all stop telling intersex people that you've always heard how we don't want to be included in the queer community, how you're too afraid to include us because terfs have told you that we're not queer (a rare time yall love to listen to and obey terfs lmao), how you won't stand in our defense because terfs will attack you if you do, and how you've never heard anything about us ever in your life

Stop telling us to our faces that you've never heard of us when as much as 7% of the population could be intersex. Do you know how devastating that is? To know we are THAT oppressed and silenced that even the 1% people say is out there barely exists in community due to intentional oppression and violence? Stop parroting that bullshit redheads and intersex people statistic, there are so much more of us than that. People say this so proudly and excitedly to me like they're the first and I'm not even a real fucking redhead

Stop participating in breaking our community by obeying terfs

Would y'all think it's reasonable and excusable if a cis person said they didn't include or speak about trans people in their activism because terfs have attacked them? Why is it fine that its such a normal thing for perisex queer people, including trans people, to say this shit to me? Why is this so common? Why are yall cowards when it comes to us?

my favorite actual chimera moonpaw designs are the ones where one part is black and one part is orange.

because of the way inheritance of the orange gene works, a 100% biologically female chimera can’t be orange and black.

with an orange mother and an orange father, all kittens in the litter would be orange.

with an orange mother and a black father, all male kittens would be orange and all female kittens would be tortoiseshell.

with a tortoiseshell mother and an orange father, a female kitten could be (with a 1 in 4 chance) orange or, more likely, tortoiseshell. half of all female kittens will be orange and half of all female kittens will be tortoiseshell, meaning 1 in 4 kittens will be orange mollies. male kittens could be black or orange.

with a black mother and an orange father, female kittens would be tortoiseshell and male kittens would be black.

(with a black mother and a black father, no kittens would be orange, obviously.)

the black/orange chimera moonpaw designs are intersex, trans, or both!
