not a request just a question - is there a general grandiosun flag? like a gender that's just related to the sun and how grandiose it is
Hmm as far as I'm aware of no! I haven't coined one myself at least :) I would totally coin one for you now but my general activity on this blog has been lacking 🦄
It really wasn't until I finally started talking in trans spaces that I realized that most people are still actually pro gender essentialism and move with an original sin-like concept of the world and the people in it. No one needs to apologize for their gender, even cis people, nor do humans need to take responsibility for a ransom person's actions based on a broad shared characteristic. And especially to trans men, you are not Jesus, and cannot take on the sins of other people. Your first step into the world as your true self should not ever be an apology, you're an individual and deserve so much more :)
cant leave this in the tags

Intersexism is when perisex people within the queer community constantly use our bodies as arguments to support their identities, but will say we aren't considered queer and that justifies excluding us from community building and discussions.
Intersexuality is nuanced to every single intersex person. If an intersex person doesn't feel that they are queer, that is completely valid. But there are plenty of intersex people who are queer, and plenty of us are queer because of our intersexuality. And, frankly, I don't think we should measure how worth it or not it is to fight for intersex rights based on if they are queer or not.
Let intersex people use the language that makes navigating life work. And don't just throw us in the dust when we aren't useful anymore.

being intersex and transfemmasc is getting treated like a cis woman 'invading' transfem spaces while simultaneously getting treated as a cis man 'invading' transmasc spaces
im 'advantaged' to perisex transmascs apparently because i dont have a period, i naturally grow a lot of hair, get hard, have a 'male voice,' etc.
but so often when i see perisex transfems, i am also seen/treated as advantaged because i have a vagina, and i look so naturally feminine i could pass if i tried
or i am just straight up told i can not be transfemmasc because its only "one or the other" and being intersex just makes me cis nonbinary .
i am tired at all the perinormativity in the trans community, i just wish intersex people had more visibility here than only getting brought up as a comeback at transphobes .
I have a very rare intersex condition. As in, rare enough it doesn't have a name, because it hasn't been documented enough. I lack all internal and external sex organs except for a pouch-like structure that contains the nerve endings that would have gone elsewhere in a normal person. My disabled friend assured me that doctors wanting to forcibly modify my body to be normal as a baby and every doctor talking nonstop to me about how awful my body is whenever I go in for any checkup or problem isn't ableism. It sure feels like it. I can't date anyone, because the second my body looks different from a normal one, it's disgusting. I had to switch high schools because once one person found out, it was nonstop "I can pray for you and fix you" from some people (I lived in the rural South) and "you're nice and all but your condition scares me" and "did your parents do drugs? that's why you're like this, right?" Any and all pains or aches or just basic understanding and maintenance of my body, I have to learn and implement myself. I have gone to the ER for a deadly allergic reaction and had multiple people talk to me about what they consider to be the "broken" part of me. I tried to go to therapy and spent an hour trying to haul the conversation back onto my actual issues while she refused and kept talking about how I probably felt incomplete inside due to being incomplete on the outside.
I can't even mention to a doctor that's yammering on about how I don't have a full life because I can't orgasm that I can. I know that because if I do, they act like this must be why I haven't killed myself. After all, no one could possibly live without that, right? But then also if I can masturbate it's sad and pathetic and tragic that I'll never get to be someone. If I don't then it's natural because of course, no one would want to touch a body this disgusting, not even me. Imagine not hating a body that's missing something. I've lost track of how many medical people have told me to get surgeries I don't want and don't need to make me look more normal, even though that would destroy all my nerve endings down there. After all, it's not like I can live a fulfilling life without a normal body, right?
But I'm not disabled, somehow. But also I can't find any other living intersex people with this condition who didn't have surgery forced on them as a baby, so I have zero community there other than in that 'the doctors hate us' sense.
I don't have a neat way to wrap this rant up. I'm just tired of everyone acting like lacking what they have means my life isn't worth living and I must be a miserable sack of shit.
this is ableism and intersexism.
Do you have questions about vuvlar hypospadias?
I may know some of the answers!
I've been researching for over a year, and now, I'm making the bullet points I pulled from vulvar hypospadias studies (link) available for the public to read. There are drawn diagrams. It ranges from Anteriorly Deflected Urinary Stream (ADUS), female/vestibular/covered/hidden/functional hypospadias, urethral-hymen fusions, and a few other terms that are used.
These are not all the studies I have read or even have on hand, but ones I have created notes on. It's not pretty, but it's full of facts. Once I get the rest of the studies I have fleshed out with similar points, I'll come up with a better introductory post regarding vulvar hypospadias. Feel free to point out information that you feel should be included or even share this with anyone who may need it!

There are a lot--like, holy shit, a lot--of people in my notes asking questions about intersex 101 after my recent posts, and as much as I love that y'all want to learn, I don't have the time to sit and respond to every single one of you right now. I'm genuinely not irritated that you have questions, but please understand that I am not an expert on every intersex topic, I'm just some random intersex person, and I'm also super busy & stressed about a million other things today, too.
Here are a couple resources for y'all to check out and get started with on your own. :)

Hii sorry I haven't been posting much here </3 I'll be posting again soon, I have a flag planned :)
"you don't need to go on hormones to be trans" is true but not an appropriate thing to say to someone who is seeking hormones. "asexuals can have sex too" is true but not an appropriate thing to say to an asexual who doesn't want to have sex. etc etc etc. idk why it's so hard for people to get their head around this one. read the room dude.
