After seeing all the beautiful human art of the Phm spaceships I thought the humble iron lung deserves some love too!
(Sorry about tumblr eating the quality. It hates my gifs)
āāāāāāāāāāāā-
Name: Yeolset (from what I could find itās the Korean word for 13 but correct me if Iām wrong)
āFunā facts:
- Completely blind and uses her camera to āseeā.
- Has the tendency to run backwards when spooked.
- Is covered in chains on her neck, hands, and ankles so that her pilots can be welded to her. Shes just as trapped as they are.
- Has stitch marks bc she is made of parts from her older siblings that the COI recovered after they ādiedā so Yeolset is a bit Frankenstein -ed together.
- Sheās hates Simon at first bc she canāt afford to care. She knows the fate all her pilots share. (1# loser of the idgaf competition. Ends up loving all her pilots anyway).
- by the end she has two goals. Carry Simon to his freedom and kill that fuck ass eel. In the end she canāt do either but at the same time does succeed (as the tree kinda does both? Depends on how you interpret what happens to Simon)
āāāāāāāāāāāāā
Iāll link the comic of her talking to Simon once I make!

Sex Terms
[PT: Sex Terms]
Varsex/Sexqueer: A person with a sex identity or sex traits that are not typical of perisex cissex standards. This includes intersex, dysex, ersex, and transsex.
Perisex (sometimes also called Endosex or Dyadic): A person/creature with the most commonly viewed natal sex traits within their species. For humans, this includes SPETE and SPETA.
SPETE (Someone Perisex Expected To Estrogenize): A perisex person with XX chromosomes, who natally developed a vulva, two average-sized (or large) ovaries, a single average-sized (or large) uterus, two fallopian tubes, and (without the influence of HRT, physical damage, or tumors) is expected to estrogenize (at a typical range) during puberty.
Their vulva will have two labia minora with a clitoral hood, two labia majora, a single pea-sized clitoris, a single moderate (or deep) vaginal entry, and a urethra between the vaginal entry and the clitoris. It may or may not have a hymen that surrounds the vagina, covering it minimally.
SPETA (Someone Perisex Expected To Androgenize): A perisex person with XY chromosomes, who natally developed a moderate (or large) penis, two moderately-sized (or large) testicles within the scrotum, an average-sized prostate, two vas deferens, two average-sized seminal vesicles, and (without the influence of HRT, physical damage, or tumors) is expected to androgenize (at a typical range) during puberty.
Their penis will have a phallus, a scrotum beneath the phallus, foreskin protecting the head of the phallus, and a urethra on the tip of the penis. It is straight or slightly curved when erect.
Cosexual: A species whose perisex standard is being capable of both fertilization and egg production at the same time. (Ie; Snails, slugs, certain fish, etc.)
Dualsex: A species whose perisex standard is having mixed sex traits, typically both a penis and a vagina, though other combinations may apply as well. This usually refers to fictional species.
Intersex: A person/creature with natal sex traits (as in, sex traits that are not from physical damage, surgery, or HRT) that do not fall within their perisex norm. Usually this refers to natal primary sex traits (sex chromosomes, sex hormones, genitalia, and/or reproductive organs), but some people consider natal secondary sex traits (breasts, nipples, etc) to be intersex as well.
(Note: "Inter" does not just mean in-between. Inter can also mean "among" or "to destroy". Therefore, intersex =/= a sex in-between SPETE/SPETA. In humans, intersex can describe a mix of sex traits, but it can also describe small/absent/undeveloped genitals/reproductive organs, genitals/reproductive organs that are split/duplicated, a penis with an atypical appearance, a vulva with an atypical appearance, high sex hormones, low sex hormones, unresponsiveness to sex hormones, "mismatched" sex chromosomes, SRY-negative XY chromosomes, SRY-positive XX chromosomes, more than two sex chromosomes, and/or less than two sex chromosomes.)
SETE (Someone Expected To Estrogenize): A person (perisex or intersex) who (without the influence of HRT, physical damage, or tumors) is expected to estrogenize during puberty. This could be expectation of micro-estrogenization, average estrogenization, or hyperestrogenization. Sometimes, this expectation may be inaccurate, if the person has unpredicted hyperandrogenism or hypoestrogenism.
SETA (Someone Expected To Androgenize): A person (perisex or intersex) who (without the influence of HRT, physical damage, or tumors) is expected to androgenize during puberty. This could be micro-androgization, average androgenization, or hyperandrogenization. Sometimes, this expectation may be inaccurate, if the person has unpredicted hyperestrogenism or hypoandrogenism.
SETAE (Someone Expected To Androestrogenize): A person who (without the influence of HRT, physical damage, or tumors) is expected to have a mix of androgenization and estrogenization during puberty. Sometimes, this expectation may be inaccurate, if the person has unpredicated hypogonadism.
SWPE (Someone Without Puberty Expectations): A person who (without the influence of HRT, physical damage, or tumors), is not expected to experience any puberty. This is usually due to having bilateral gonadal agenesis, or gonads that are fully streaked and/or too small to produce sex hormones, or similar variations.
Dysex: A person with atypical primary sex traits caused by non-natal events (ie; labial hypertrophy from pregnancy, gynecomastia from red meat consumption, a person with hyperestrogenism from tumors, etc), minor atypicalities in primary sex traits (ie; a minorly bicornuate uterus), or atypical secondary sex traits (ie; extra nipples, no breasts, etc) who does not feel as though the label of "intersex" fits them. This is considered the grey area between intersex and perisex.
Ersex: A person who is unsure of whether they are intersex or perisex, due to physical events that could have changed their sex traits. (Ie; A person who had an accident that could have potentially injured their ovaries, and they have no way to tell if their low levels of estrogen are a result of their accident, or if they have an intersex variation that causes hypoestrogenism.)
(Note: Perisex, intersex, dysex, and ersex are not labels a person can "transition" into, as they describe natal sex, not internal sex identities. So a perisex person cannot "transition to intersex", an intersex person can't have their intersexuality "removed" from them through procedures, etc.)
Cissex: A person who identifies with their natal sex traits.
Transsex: A person who desires sex traits that differs from the ones they natally developed. A person can be transsex while not being transgender.
Transgenital: A transsex identity for people who desire genitals that differ from the ones they natally developed.
Transreproductive (Transrepro): A transsex identity for people who desire reproductive organs that differ from the ones they natally developed. Transgonadal refers specifically to someone who desires different gonads than what they natally developed.
Transhormonal: A transsex identity for people who desire a hormone profile that differs from the one they natally developed.
Altersex: A transsex identity for people who desire sex traits that are mixed, null, or not natally seen within humans. (This identity is sometimes also used by sysmates within systems whose innerworld bodies have those sex traits.) Duomorphic, multisex, nullsex, and xenosex fall under this.
Duomorphic: A person who desires a mixture of sex traits that they did not natally have (ie; a person born with a vulva who desires a penis & vagina together.) You may also hear people using terms like "salmacian" or "aphrodisian" in reference to this identity, however the intersex community finds these terms problematic due to their connection with the origin of the intersexist h-slur. (Read more on that here [link.])
Multisex: A person who identifies as multiple sexes at the same time.
Sexnull: A person who feels that their sex is best described as lacking or absent, or who desires for their sex traits to be null.
Xenosex: A person who feels that their sex is best described through concepts, objects, or nonhumans.

Non-binary: A person who isn't a monogender binary man or monogender binary woman. This can be an umbrella term for all genders (or lack thereof) that stray from a monogendered binary, or it could be used as a lone identity.

(Monogender is an umbrella term to describe anyone who isn't multigender; anyone who has only a singular gender is monogender.)
Genderfluid: A multigender person whose gender changes. How often it changes depends on the person (ie; multiple times every day, one every few days, once every few weeks, etc). They may have a few specific genders they rotate between (ie; rotating between man, woman, and neutrois) or they may have randomized gender experiences.
Genderflux: A multigender person whose gender fluctuates in intensity. For example, a girlflux person might fluctuate between being a woman, being a demigirl, and being genderless. Another example is a xenoflux person who fluctuates between demixenine and xenogender, but never becomes fully genderless.

Toxic masculinity results in men being more willing to do violent acts of suicide and self harm on themselves, due to being told it is manly to suck up their pain.
Toxic masculinity results in men being 4x more likely to commit suicide than women, due to men's mental health being treated like a joke. Men make up 80% of suicide statistics.
Is Lethality Different between Males and Females? Clinical and Gender Differences in Inpatient Suicide Attempters [Link]
Differences in Suicide Among Men and Women
Suicide Data and Statistics [link]
Suicide rates are higher in men than in women [link]
Samaritans.org suicide data [link]
Suicide Data - National Institution Of Mental Health [link]
Homoandrophobia and andro-monosexism is the fact that 19% of achillean men attempt suicide, compared to 3% of non-achillean men.
Suicide Attempts Among Gay And Bisexual Men [link]
Suicide Rate High Among Urban Gay Men [link]
Andro-amatonormativity is the fact that asexual men are at a higher rate of suicide than asexual women (as men are stereotyped to be sexual).
Experiences of minority stress and their impact on suicidality among asexual individuals [link]
Androqueerphobia is the fact that more than 50% of trans men have attempted suicide, and intersex people (including intersex men) are at a higher risk of suicide compared to their perisex (non-intersex) LGBTQ+ peers.
But sure. Say that men aren't negatively impacted by the patriarchy, that the patriarchy supports all men.
Lie that men don't have unique struggles with mental health, just as you lie about how men don't know what it's like to experience sexual violence (statistics on that here [link.])
Chester Bennington, Jason David Frank, Robin Williams and Kurt Cobain lost their lives to suicide due to depression.
These deaths underscore the need for accessible mental health care, reduced stigma, and open conversationsāespecially for men, who may feel societal pressure to hide emotional pain.
In 2021, the global suicide rate for men was 12.3 per 100,000, more than double that for women, which stood at 5.9 per 100,000.
Reminder, that, Men's mental health month includes:
Gay men
Trans men
Elderly men
Any queer men
Men of color
Young men
Disabled men
Intersex men
Fathers
Brothers
Uncles
And yes, it includes; pericishet white physabled men, especially those who are our allies.
And even more.
Because mental health should never be a joke, no matter who it is. That's how it gets worse.
Mental health is commonly neglected. "Men's mental health" is a sentence mocked by many because "who cares about men" and "they're taking from pride"
We don't like it when that's done to other groups!! And if you pull some "well I'm not referring to trans/disabled/etc men!" then hey, that's fucked up! We're men too and men's mental health month is ALSO about us!
If you care about your communities, that includes the men who fight alongside you, of all kinds. Pride and men's mental health are not a competition! They can share the month because honestly, they go hand in hand in some ways. Especially queer men who have to hear "who cares about men" all month, men who are actively vulnerable.
We want the world to be safe for everyone. Let's stop alienating and just start loving our communities, even if we've grown our own fears or beliefs. We can outgrow them and do better.
Hey if June is both Pride month and men's mental health month, perhaps we should talk about the mental health of queer men? I feel like we kind of don't do that enough. Let's talk about transmisandry. Let's talk about the way so many queer spaces are anti-masculinity. Let's talk about how the patriarchy tells us that masculine = good and feminine = bad, but that does NOT mean that we should switch to saying that feminine = good and masculine = bad! Let's keep talking about the good old-fashioned toxic masculinity that makes gay men afraid to come out. Let's keep talking about internalized homophobia. And we should talk about queer women and their mental health as well! Misogyny and transmisogyny and lesbophobia, etc., are all problems! But I feel like there's a tendency in queer spaces to think of masculinity as inherently toxic and dangerous. Just because toxic masculinity is a problem does not mean that all masculinity is toxic! Let's talk about positive and uplifting masculinity. Let's help young trans men dismantle their internalized transandrophobia and find positive masculinity within themselves! Let's stop treating nonbinary people who were AMAB as scary males when they're not!! Let's stop treating males as scary!! Let's stop assuming that every man is a predator, so that we do not teach men that they are expected to be predators! Let's talk about the mental health of queer men!
Happy pride month but also, happy mens mental health month, remember this encapsulates all men. Trans men, queer men, disabled men, black men, Asian men, unhoused men & marginalized men.
Click here for a national list of suicide hotlines
Men are about 4x more likely to commit suicide than women, trans men are 30x to 50x more likely to attempt suicide then other trans individuals, disabled men are roughly 3x more likely to commit suicide the non-disabled individuals.
Check in with your families, your friends, even acquaintances. You never need a reason to reach out, If you're concerned, or even just have an inkling of a feeling, reach out.
This month, on top of their white supremacist and transphobic ass rhetoric, conservatives, especially those on the manosphere are going to use men's mental health month is an excuse to bash pride month.
Under no other context would these creators care about the mental health of their viewers or men in general. By disregarding pride they're disregarding queer men, showing more of their disinterest in mental health until it's something they can use as a tool.
These people don't actually care about men they only care about what can line their pockets and get them power. And right now that's the ability to give misogynistic men a little boost in pride so they can have a small win even on the one month that caters to a marginalized group they don't like.
These types of creators especially have targeted young men, ranging from roughly 10 to early 20s, the type of rhetoric they spewāmisogynistic, white supremacist, racist, queerophobic nonsense, are all things that will affect young men, not just the image they have of others but also theirselves. The "grindset alpha males" also has a horrible impact on young men's body image, men are just as susceptible to eating disorders and unhealthy practices as women and other groups. Please, if you worry for a young boy or a young man that may be getting sucked down these rabbit holes, reach out. Guide them towards better outlets, shaming or inciting violenceāespecially on those with impressionable mindsāwill often only encourage those children & young adults to sink further into the cesspit and become more radicalized as you have proven them right, the "others" are all "like that".
Hey, havenāt posted about it on here but Iām making an AU for Steven Universe. Itās called āin mournā I have gotten ready to write or draw anything aside from designs yet.
