Intersex Community - Tumblr Posts
The shi/hir thing is intersex exclusive because they're based on "Shim" as a slur people used for their characters with both genital sets. It does have a history to it that was and still can be harmful to us
Not to pull an 'Erm akshually' here, but the usage of the pronouns apparently originated from furries, and while there are definitely records of fetishization alongside the usage, I cannot find sources that lend credence to that slur birthing the set. It appears to be a he/she situation most commonly: an insult thrown at androgynous people and crossdressers.... which could also catch intersex people in the crossfire very easily to be fair. However, from my understanding its not just used against intersex people.
And, for the record, I am an intersex being myself. I don't claim to know everything about intersex history because of this fact, I am merely mentioning it lest someone decides to accuse me of being an entitled perisex individual.
Communities are supposed to uplift each other, so tell me why there's ALWAYS a handful of asshats enforcing the segregation of minorities? We see this with lesbian exclusion, favorable and oscillating aroace exclusion, anti endo bullshit... the list goes on.
There are people in MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES forcing a bar of [identity] enough, and so help me I am so sick of it. Stop making light skinned people feel not black enough. Stop pushing those with PCOS out of intersex spaces. Stop it with the fucking goldstar lesbian/gay shit.
Hello, I recently got diagnosed with pcos. My whole life I’ve been raise to be a girl, when I was 18 I decided I wanted to go by they/them and be agender. I’m 20 now and was wondering if having pcos means I’ve been intersex my whole life and not even now it. I’ve just seen it brought up a lot in pcos groups and I never even thought about that. I’m just a little confused is all. My doctor didn’t really give me any information about that.
If it helps, while there are people who will try to push you out of intersex spaces for having PCOS, there are also plenty of others who accept us into intersex spaces. As for your doctor not mentioning it, I can only imagine it has something to do with medical bias against intersex people and the field's need to erase us all. See, if PCOS, a very common condition, is intersex, that means intersex people are even less rare. They want to sweep intersex people under the rug, in order to enforce their idea of 'binary sex'. That all being said though, it is ultimately up to you whether you want to use the intersex label due to having PCOS. I personally believe that PCOS, by default, makes one intersex, but I'm not one to enforce labels.
listen to intersex people. I'm so tired of the perisex community talking over us, and notice I said us. I'm not going to have my intersex identity erased because of what perisex people say anymore, I refuse to go away because it scares them that a common condition falls under the intersex umbrella. Their intersexism doesn't change the fact that intersex people exist, no matter how many ways they try to erase us.
Not to be an annoying activist or anything, but I honestly really don't appreciate Kat Blaque, a PERISEX person, talking over intersex people because of what the infamously intersexist medical field has to say about PCOS. 'Doctors say that PCOS isn't an intersex condition' yeah and doctors have said that homosexuality is an illness. The medical field ain't perfect and can fuck up and grow.
I did NOT get put on hormones at 13 to 'fix' myself just for some perisex person to come along and say I'm not intersex because I don't have a medically recognized variation, despite the fact that things like CAH get misdiagnosed as PCOS and vice versa all the fucking time. Maybe we should take what the medical field says with a grain of salt and listen to actual members of communities. :/
Hey OP can I tag this with trans tags too? Idk if that would be seen as derailing so I thought I'd ask first
I write mpreg what I don't write is mpreg smut.
if I do write a dirty story that has a intersex character in it they are treated like anyone else- I don't write mpreg smut and I never will-maybe in the past but that was before I knew what intersex was so I didn't add that to it.
I can't write a proper dirty story to save my life.
I can read one but i rather not write one- I have a untamed one and even that story isn't all that dirty.
in my books mpreg is treated like pregnancy- I don't understand why mpreg is seen as weird when it's just pregnancy but with a guy character.
What's the big deal about it.
Also if I had no way to be told otherwise it's because one no say anything and two people assume mpreg ia sexual and that's weird that you think that- I remember someone on here who was trans has a post about how people found mpreg weird when some guys like him want to have a bio child.
lets stop treating mpreg like it's this gross thing.
