This Pride Month Can We Please At Least Listen To Intersex People. For Example

this pride month can we please at least listen to intersex people. for example

people who claimed intersex people didn't want to be included were largely perisex bigots

stop using amab/afab to refer to or infer sex characteristics and life experiences

stop using transfeminine/transmasculine to infer someone's agab (and subsequently their sex characteristics and life experiences)

stop using tma/tme to mean "trans women"/"everyone else"

man and woman aren't opposites, gender isn't binary

male and female aren't opposites, sex isn't binary

"contradictory" labels aren't the death knell of queer people

intersex people aren't "sexually disordered" they are fucking intersex

"intersex" is not a thing you can transition to be

intersex people don't owe conformity

intersex people don't have to tell you shit about their bodies

the "cis kids being given hormones" a lot of people mention in their trans activism include a lot of intersex kids being medically abused

can we all understand this like really really quickly. is any of this very hard to wrap your head around ?

if you don't do anything else today,

Please have a moment of silence for the people who were killed instead of freed when news of emancipation finally reached the furthest corners of the american south.

have another moment for the ledgers, catalogs, and records that were burned and the homes that were destroyed to hide the presence of very much alive and still enslaved people on dozens of plantations and homesteads across the south for decades after emancipation.

and have a third moment for those who were hunted and killed while fleeing the south to find safety across the border, overseas, in the north and to the west.

black people. light a candle, write a note to those who have passed telling them what you have achieved in spite of the racist and intolerant conditions of this world, feel the warmth of the flame under your hand, say a prayer of rememberance if you are religious, place the note under the candle, and then blow it out.

if you have children, sit them down and tell them anything you know about the life of oldest black person you've ever met. it doesn't have to be your own family. tell them what you know about what life was like for us in the days, years, decades after emancipation. if you don't know much, look it up and learn about it together.

This is Juneteenth.

white people CAN interact with this post. share it, spread it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TANJIRO YIPPEEEEEEE

why can't I be a dark mass of total destruction

would you sacrifice yourself to save your loved ones?

someone you love more than almost anything in the world, someone sick or injured or elderly—what would you do if saving them meant giving yourself up? can you even imagine having to make that choice?

i can't. but that's the reality for mohammed, and he already knows his answer: he will save his family before himself. he will evacuate his most vulnerable family members from gaza—his sister, still healing from a quadcopter bullet; the sick; those who need to flee most urgently—and he will stay behind if that's what's necessary. 8 displacements, his home destroyed, his job gone, bombs falling around him and his life utterly uprooted, and his first thought is only of helping others.

this is an awful, inhumane, horrific position for anyone to be in. and yet i'm writing this post because so far, he doesn't even have the funds necessary to evacuate his most critically injured family members—let alone to start thinking about himself.

please help the iwais family.
