Welcome to intersex-joy!

Are you intersex, and wanting more postive words?

Hi, welcome to intersex-joy. this blog is specifically for intersex people to share their happy experiences.

While we, as intersex people, can struggle a lot, its important to talk about the good parts as well.

About the mod: You may ask! The owner is plural and a few parts run the blog.

So I'm intersex and transmasc and I grew up being incredibly insecure about my belly (typical androgen? Fat distribution + either pmos or ncah idk which one)

But since coming into my manhood and learning I'm intersex I've really come to love it. It's something so undeniably ME and I'm so proud of my body and its shape, even if it's not perisex typical. Im proud to be intersex! I'm proud to be here and take up space B)

this is intersex joy, and also transmasc joy! anon, i'm so very happy for you and hope you can continue to be yourself 🩷

Intersex joy is finally feeling comfortable asking to use preferred name and pronouns at work, and my boss instantly emailing me back using my preferred name and saying it was nice to meet me again lol

Because I am very traditionally fem looking at a quick glance, I’ve lived the last fifteen years since finding out I’m intersex as a woman. Now that I’m finally being honest with myself and others, I’ve never felt better.

this is intersex joy! and also trans joy i think? lmk if i'm wrong 🩷

My partners knowing im intersex and not even mentioning it makes me really happy actually. I was nervous that they'd ask questions i dont want to answer or anything but theyre aware and the only reactions have been just really simple quiet support+listening and enthusiasm for my intersex headcanons (which I didnt really talk about before cuz I was nervous) and like.., that's exactly what I wanted!!!! Im sohappy!!!!!

aw, i'm happy for you 🩷

this is intersex joy!

I think this is both trans and intersex joy, so I hope that's okay? Intersex joy is finding a gothic waist cinch/corset I can actually wear (most do not work on me as I don't really have a waist. I'm short, broad and stocky so I can never get them to look or work right. They all look like I'm trying to wear a fancy cardboard box like a tube top)!

i'm so happy for you :)

this is intersex joy! also @this-is-trans-joy

intersex joy is!!! i recently found a scientific report about gynandromorphic beetles that CALLED THEM INTERSEX! not "half male half female", not the h slur, intersex gynandromorphs! it sucks that the bar is so low but its amazing to see progress!

OH MY GOODNESS!! i love to see progress, especially in biology which has been such an intersexist medium!

this is intersex joy!

Intersex joy is holy shit there’s finally a widespread push to rename PCOS!

Infodump for anyone who doesn’t know: PCOS stands for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome but less than 30% of people with the condition actually have cysts on their ovaries. It’s a stupidly misleading name and there’s probably a lot of people who have gone undiagnosed because they got an ultrasound to look for cysts and were written off when they didn’t have any. It’s stupid that we haven’t changed the name at this point so I’m glad there might actually be a change soon :)

this is a huge, very exciting change for everyone!

this is intersex joy!

the joy of finding your specific conditions that you have is one of the greatest joy of being intersex. so happy that we're intersex.

not only we're we able to find our condition though tumblr, but to be able to finally let go the breath we've been hold for 24 years.
