(HOMO)SEXUALLY ACTIVE FISH ARE SEXIER TO FEMALES

Homosexuality occurs in most animal species, from insects to mammals, and it is more common amongst males. But how could homosexual behaviou

A huge fraction of people who are intersex are completely unaware that they are. So, in preparation for Pride Month:

Here are tons of signs that you're intersex:

You naturally have a large clitoris (numbers are complicated) or small phallus (<2.7 inches erect or <1.5 inches flaccid)

You have parts that look like an intermediate between a clitoris and a phallus (clitorophallus)

You do not have a clitorophallus at all (ie, no clitoris, no phallus; nothing)

Your urethra is lower or higher than usual (for phalluses: should be centered on top of the glans -- for vulvas: should have several millimeters of space between the clitoris, urethra, and vagina)

Your urethra is not externally visible

You have a penis or phallus with an opening between the base of phallus and anus.

You have a vulva without a vaginal opening, or have a small, easily irritated or nonelastic opening

You have a vulva with partially or completely fused labia (begins from the bottom of the vulva or from the clitoris - may have a webbed appearance rather than flush skin)

You have a penis with very small or undescended testes

You went through androgenizing puberty and have prominent breast tissue

You went through estrogeninizing puberty and have little to no breast tissue.

You went through both androgenizing and estrogenizing puberty

You never hit puberty, had very little development during puberty, or had a late onset puberty.

You have had imaging tests that show "missing," differently shaped, mixed, or otherwise unexpected internal genitalia.

You have had unexplained medical issues regarding sex traits or genitalia since childhood or adolescence.

You have any of the above signs and are struggling with fertility

Other family members display similar traits (note: this is *not* necessary as not all intersex variations are inherited)

You have had DNA testing and the karyotype came back with an unexpected result (ex: XX instead of XY, or an error message)

You have had high or low levels of sex hormones since puberty (it's okay if all you have are signs that they were high or low in childhood)

You have widespread body hair or any amount of facial hair alongside an estrogenizing puberty

You are experiencing androgenic alopecia and have close-to-female anatomy.

You are unable to grow body/facial hair and have close-to-male anatomy.

You have a very androgynous face, or your face passes as a different gender from your body (this one is Subjective and not indicative on its own)

You have unexplained scarring in the genitalia area. If this one is you, please get in touch with InterAct Advocates, Genital Autonomy, or online Intersex communities before you dig for info.

This is an extremely sensitive topic and may be traumatizing (CIMI / IGM). You also want to make sure what you've found are scars, instead of natural tissue - intersex bodies may develop extra tissue in some places (ex: vulvar hypospadias and hooding of the urethra)

Alright. That's all I got for now. If you're starting to question things now, it may feel scary at first, but you don't have to do it alone. The intersex community online has so many amazing resources and wonderful helpful people in it.

For some primers, check out InterAct Advocates! Happy almost Pride! I'm excited to celebrate with you with us <3

Forgot to add the caveat that intersex traits are something you're born with. They may be obvious at birth, present later in life, or not be discovered until later in life.

Intersex is a term to describe the experience of being born with a body that defies the male-female binary.

It's like the other side of the coin to transness, in the sense that trans people defy the male-female binary as well, but due to gender identity or expression instead of traits you're born with or naturally develop.

Intersex doesn't just describe a state of the body, but how the people with that body have to navigate gender socialization (ie: the impressment of gender roles and norms in cisheteropatriarchal society - especially pertaining to coercive/corrective intersex medical intervention (CIMI).

This is an important distinction because even though intersex people defy the binary, we are capable of having any gender identity that a dyadic or perisex person could, along with using intersex itself as our gender identity if we so choose.

We are able to defy our birth assignments, surgical or hormonal re-assignments, and any gender roles or identities socially imposed on us. Just like a dyadic person is able to defy what they were assigned and the gender imposed on them. Also some people are raised gender neutrally so. There's that.

I'm rambling here but I just wanted to make it clear that while being intersex and trans aren't the same thing, we commonly have complicated experiences with the binary because we're intersex, no matter what our gender identity is, whether we're cis, trans, both, or neither.

If you have mixed or neutral sex traits from transitioning, you may find the terms varsex or altersex helpful (unfortunately the coining of altersex is linked to intersexism but. i also understand it was still coined in an attempt at not being intersexist). Or transsexual may work too. Nothing wrong with using that term, really. It's a real identity too, and its beautiful.

Obsessed with how lionhead bunnies can either look like they have the craziest bangs, or the most horrible mullet

[redstonedust]

unfortunately i dont think its queerbaiting if the creator is just so terminally heterosexual that they never remotely considered the same gender relationship their show is centered around could be read as romantic. it is deeply painful however.

[general-woundwort]

I’d never considered that Watership Down could have yuri…maybe I’m a bad person

[crimpeekodraws]

I drew some headcanon designs for some watership down bunnies...

These are based specifically the bunnies from the book, where Clover is described as a short-haired angora and Haystack a himalayan

guy next to me on the tube platform just said to his friend “i have THREE interesting stories to tell you, each one escalates, let’s move down the platform because some of these should NOT be shared in front of people” and my nosy ass was genuinely milliseconds from asking to be included in this conversation
