To this day, many intersex people are mutilated as infants or toddlers.

From malevolent attempts to make their bodies more visually appealing to completely forcing them into a male/female binary.

Please do not just use our suffering as a 'gotcha' moment to own TERFS and other fascists. Please do not forget about us.

Edit: Also, not all parents know what is done to their child. Sometimes, they are lied to, and they are told that the surgery is necessary or even life-saving. Sometimes they are left completely oblivious, like in my case.

Having your child under the care of female staff/doctors does NOT matter. The surgeon who decided to operate on me was female.

For better readability:

Sometimes they can't wait to clip your wings.

I was two days old.

I was supposed to be a moth.

Instead I had to be pretty.

I seek healing.

I denied the false cocoon.

I'd rather be a clipped moth than a forced butterfly.

I sadly do not know how to properly ID something. Other users have reblogged with IDs however, thank you for your work.

Not my usual content, but I made something I wanted to share...

When I say I want to see more intersex representation in art and characters and headcanons, this is what I mean. This is so wonderful I love this, and I'm not even super big into Pokémon. This is a perfect example of intersex representation in non-human characters as well. I always get asks talking about whether species with different sexual dimorphism are automatically intersex, or whether a shapeshifter is intersex, whether aliens are intersex. I also get asks about whether or not it's possible for characters that aren't human to be intersex, or if its disrespectful to call an animal intersex if they have variant sex characteristics. And, all of these questions come from a place of deeply misunderstanding what intersex means. An individual of any species could be intersex, but an entire species is not intersex.

I want to see stuff like this in people's headcanons/fan content, original works, and maybe even someday, in mainstream media. Real actual intersex characters in media make me so unbelievably happy to see. Thank you for drawing this :)

call me Brussels Sprouts the way I got the bitterness bred out of me

xekstrin

the joke is Brussels Sprouts used to be much more bitter until farmers in the 90's discovered what chemical property in Brussels Sprouts was making them so bitter, and selectively bred them over generations to be tastier, which is why you should try eating Brussels Sprouts again if you haven't had them since you were a kid, especially if you've never had them roasted in olive oil, salt, red pepper flakes, maybe a little honey or balsamic vinegar, distributed evenly on a pan at a very high temperature, and also breeding kink
