WOLFDOG: A social presentation term, with a wide range of potential usage. Essentially, this can be used by anyone who feels as if they are trapped between conflicting identities and/or expectations. This could be because of being mixed, indigenous, an immigrant, disabled/neurodivergent, or LGBTQ/Transgender.
Wolfdogs are a hybrid of domestic dogs and wild wolves. They’re often treated as designer breeds or exotic pets, but cannot be properly cared for like one would a regular dog. Essentially, they’re too wild to live domestically, but too domestic to be released. Due to this, they are almost always rehomed or sent to sanctuaries.

can we please talk about the horrible fucking intersexism of wikipedia.
like the fact that the page for androgynous continually uses the h slur
like the fact that the page on the h slur itself uses DSD, a term wikipedia itself calls controversial in a confusingly worded page on intersex
and can we talk about the dodgy wording on the page for intersex, too? like, what the fuck do you *mean* by "the notion of intersex people?"
can we talk about the fact that, on the lgbt slang page, the shortening of the h slur and the japanese version of it aren't even classified as slurs, unlike the many other slurs on the page, such as the f slur?
can we talk about the fact that tma/tme terminology made it onto the very same page, and the nuance it lacks?
can we talk about the fact that there's a page called sexual anomalies? can we talk about the fact that intersex characteristics are being called fucking anomalies?
can we talk about how casually that forced surgery and hormone treatment is advocated for? can we talk about how being intersex is painted as something stressful?
can we talk about how much wikipedia avoids using intersex? as if its some dirty fucking word?
most of all, can we fucking change this??? this is absurd. it's horrendous that this much intersexism is allowed on wikipedia.
( as always im perisex and dont mean to overstep; if anyone would like this post deleted or revised, feel free to reach out )
edit: so i think some people are misinterpreting the post's reason for being made. i'd like to say that i know wikipedia can be edited, lol. that's not what i'm talking about when i say "can we fucking change this."
my post was trying to point out how intersexism had been allowed to fester on a website such as wikipedia. my post was about how even wikipedia, not without its flaws but prided on for being neutral and factual, had horrible bigotry embedded in it.
even if we edit the wikipedia pages, that doesn't fix the rules on the website that cause intersex editors to have to tip toe around their own identity. that doesn't fix the fact that the website is riddled with intersexism. yes, editing the pages will help. but my point is, the fact that they were even like this in the first place is horrific.
also people cant just Go And Edit These. there's a whole rule about how "A major edit should be reviewed to confirm that it is consensual to all concerned editors. Therefore, any change that affects the meaning of an article is major (not minor), even if the edit is a single word."
to quote someone else who i'd talked to about this topic, "u have to have an account and permission from topic, other editors on that wiki page to post any edits at all," neither of which i or a lot of others have. also, not everyone is even capable of writing an article like this, or editing. some do not have the skills necessary to fix these articles.
and, quite frankly, we shouldn't have to. because we should be able to trust the people who can write these articles to be responsible and not fucking bigoted
