Perisex - Tumblr Posts
perisex is a collection of müllerian and wolffian traits commonly seen in parallel with each other. perisex is also referred to as endosex, which is anything and anyone who is not definitively intersex.
parallel - two objects or lines that do not intersect, no matter if another object or line crosses through both. in this case, müllerian and wolffian traits are parallel with multiple similarities crossing through both.
perisex traits are split into "müllerian indication" or "wolffian indication". indication is being used to describe how no one is perfectly perisex or has the correct perisex parts, and the indication that someone is perisex (hormonal, primary/secondary sex traits, genes, etc) is more accurate rather than the assumption based on external sex traits. the terms "male" and "female" are assignments of what your body closely matches, but does not accurately describe current or past sex traits, so they will not be used. afab/amab are events related to such, and therefore will also not be used unless in correct context.
this is a perisex flag I made that shows a cut purple box with a periwinkle background. purple symbolizing the mix of red and blue, the box symbolizing the parallel of both müllerian and wolffian traits appearing in a singular individual without them being interconnected or imbalanced, and the sun on top of the box representing two halves of one coin (müllerian and wolffian).
perisex people are the dominant majority in society because of eugenics and intersexism. there is no shame in being perisex, but the ideals of perisex supremacy starts at the classification of "male" and "female" and the thought of those two being sexes instead of variations of the perisex traits that appear in gonochoristic species.
be proud to be perisex and dont wish to be anything you aren't. uplift those who are systematically underprivileged and shut up about issues not about you. perisex people suffer, yet only from their practice of prejudice against others.
thank you for coming to my ted talk about how perisex people like me need to be proud about their unique bodies but still listen to others who are aren't them.
hey just wanna come on here to make a quick announcement, because i’ve been seeing a lot of bullshit recently this pride month.
I SUPPORT MSPEC AND GOODFAITH IDENTITIES.
I will not, and do not, care to hear any more drama about it. Half these identities have existed for longer than many of us on tumblr have been alive.
Being queer is not about gatekeeping people, telling people they are “wrong” about their identity, or forcing people out of identities that express themselves.
If you’re an anti just stay off my blog- Especially if you’re an asshole about it.
I want to branch off of this to talk; about how many of these are or were rooted or used primarily by intersex people. I adore the vocal support i’ve been seeing for intersex people this month and it needs to continue. I want to say I will love and continue to support my intersex siblings in our community - even while i might be perisex, i’ve known a plethora of people from this spectrum (which i can still learn more about) and you are crucial to our community just as much as transwomen, kinky people, ‘contradictory’ titles, and transsexuals and transvestites.

If you're against perisex people using labels like AFAB transfem and AMAB transmasc, please kindly shut the fuck up. If you're against perisex people using pronoun sets such as shi/hir please kindly shut the fuck up.
I, myself, am intersex. I do not *care* if Sally sees her womanhood through a trans lens while being perisex AFAB. I am an avid believer that enforcing the notion that such labels are 'exclusive' to intersex people is harmful. 'Oh but shi/hir has been used against us!!!' That is not the fault of Billy, who just vibes with the pronoun set.
The sooner we as a community can realize that these 'progressive' boxes aren't much better than the ones made by our oppressors, the better.
'Oh transfemmasc and its variants are intersex exclusive!' No they are absolutely not. An experience such as that is not exclusive to intersex people. There are labels made to be intersex exclusive if you really care about not using a label used by 'icky' dyadics (not against those labels at all, I think it's very cool that we're moving away from transfemmasc being 'exclusive' to us and are instead making terms that are like it, just tailored to intersex people). Everyone acts so progressive until someone has a queer experience they don't like.
as a perisex person I think it's horrific what medical malpractice intersex people go though. it's horrific how people view intersex people as "wrong" or "broken". it's horrific how the trans community alienates you.
from the bottom of My heart, you guys are neat :)
