cah intersex, assigned female. came out as transgender at ~14 years old, began T at 21, mastectomy at 22. almost 30 now. call me anhithe misken.

i don't identify as trans anymore. i don't identify as cis. i would call myself neither a detransitioner nor a retransitioner. i don't identify as a woman or a female. i simply am.

i want liberation for everyone. i feel alienated from most mainstream and fringe perspectives. i am very mentally ill. i am eccentric. i like writing about my thoughts and i'll post them here.

i like to lie. i like to reveal the truth through it. i'm a lot of things with a lot of faces.

more about my beliefs below

In my experience, one of the reasons the idea of "brain gender" is such a persistent gremlin even in ostensibly progressive spaces is that a lot of folks haven't really abandoned the bioessentialist framework of gender, they've just modified it to include trans people, and trans-inclusive bioessentialism falls apart if brain gender isn't real.

so one of my problems is that I think gender and sex are both tools the patriarchy uses to subjugate, oppress, and control the class that controls the means of reproduction. this comes about from my experiences as an intersex afab trans person. I strongly disagree with a lot of the bioessentialism I see radfems spouting because of the research I have done, my own experiences, and the people i have met.

i think a massive amount of misogyny comes from quite simply the fact that people who are born female are assumed to have a particular set of characteristics, most notably the ability to be impregnated. that is a vulnerability the other class of people do not possess. even if you diverge from anatomical "norms" or present differently, if you are clocked as part of that impregnable class of person, you are going to be mistreated, and if you actually are born into the class the patriarchy denotes as incubators by virtue of what organs we possess, you can never truly escape from it, your entire life then becomes hinged on passing, which is its own prison to me.

but I don't think it's male vs female as categories, i think it comes down to who can perpetuate the species and everything else becomes informed by that, and that is why we are treated like cattle regardless of our relationship to "sex" or "gender."

by nature this will also impact camabs, they live in a world that encourages them to dominate and control the means of reproduction. if you rebel against that in any way real or perceived, you will be corrected, punished, ostracized for rejecting the order of things. it is not really a natural order to be very clear, it is a globally-imposed one.

but rebelling against this "order" is inherently worse for those whose bodies can be forced to bare bodies, the reproductive class. the world is largely structured around their oppression; if an incubator rebels against the natural order of things, something must be seriously wrong with it. especially if it wants to have power equal to the incubator class.

this is not meant to reduce assigned females or women to their genitalia or reproductive role, but rather to examine the reality of misogyny through an honest lens. it is about who has the power to continue the human race, and it is those with the bodies able to conceive and reproduce. and because the patriarchy lacks this, they find ways to seize and control us.
