@kali-politik
why, and i mean no offense anyone who likes or has one, but W H Y THE H E L L are vaginas so weird like they look icky they feel icky and i Do Not Like Them At All One Bit
OP you really need to reexamine why you don’t like vaginas. Lots of men have them. If you don’t fuck a gay man with a vagina you’re transphobic.
op is a dirty genital fetishist that needs to unlearn their biases
Your genitals preference are transphobic op
bisexuals are attracted to both sexes. pansexual is just a way of expressing bisexuality as a gender preference. if you only like one sex, you're not bi you're appropriative.
i hate to be the one to break it to u, but sex isn’t a binary concept either
I hate to break it to you, but saying that males and females with intersex disorders aren’t really male or female is intersexist and hypocritical. Humans are a sexually reproductive species. We have two sexes. Everything else is a disordered variation. Stop othering us because you do not understand our medical issues.
disorders?? lol, what?
please stop insisting that intersex ilexistence is limited to being a “disordered variation” yikes, intersex people are not disordered, they’re not diseased. they are fine the way they were born, and if the idea of biological sex as a fluid spectrum were more widely accepted, the medical abuse of intersex people could be addressed more effectively.
humans do not have two sexes, the concept if biological sex being binary is socially constructed. humans socially constructed the labels we assign to ‘male’ and ‘female’.
also friendly reminder, gender and sex are different things. you’re arguing that someone born with __ genitals/chromosomes must be __ gender. yes, there are intersex men and intersex women (who are not fucking ‘’’disordered’’’ by the way), but there are also intersex people who are trans, who are nonbinary, who are agender, transneutral, et cetera, et infinitum.
you’re misconstruing what i was expressing to this anon. which was that there is no ‘’’both’’’ in gender or sex. and they were Clearly equating sex to gender in their ask. there are more than two genders, more than two sexes, more than two ways for human beings to exist. being intersex isn’t a disorder, it’s a natural form of existence, stop medicalizing it.
So anyways I don’t know why the fuk you reblogged this from me but probably so you wouldn’t show up directly in the notes of the person you’re claiming to respond to who is an actual intersex person but I’m going to @ them for you so your conversation with them can continue @not-your-intersex-pawn their URL is pretty spot-on and also a big fuck you trash who reblogged this from me aka op you are a coward and not only are you a coward you are wrong and that’s why you’re a fucking coward. Now continue to sling your misinformed ignorant accusations at a real intersex person and I hope they take you straight to the trash where you already seem to know you belong lol
Reblogging this from Hungry-Skin ‘cause I was handed it off from another mod of not-your-intersex pawn but I might as well speak on my main to confirm we are two separate people.
Personally, I suffer from Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia by 21-hydroxylase deficiency. This is caused by autosomal mutations of gene CYP21A2. In my specific case, a single base pair point mutation of thymine to guanine that is homozygous on both copies of my gene and referred to by my geneticist as V281L.
V281L severs my body’s ability to convert 17-OH-Progesterone into 11-Deoxycortisol and later the life-necessary steroid cortisol itself. 21-hydroxylase is needed for this conversion, yet my 21-hydroxylase molecule has a mutated projection in one of its binding sites due to V281L that prevents it from doing its job and lets progesterone build up while my body freaks out over its lack of cortisol and incessantly releases ACTH to put my adrenal glands into overdrive. The excess progesterone is made into testosterone and dihydrotestosterone when it gets built up too far, hence why it causes the extreme virilization that caused my two grow a clitoral hypertrophy of 2″ nonerect, a skeleton that looks nearly male in proportion, tight and packed muscle mass, a full beard pattern, and a voice pitch in the male range. This is all from one base pair being mutated out of 3 billion within the human genome–making me less than one three billionths of a percent different than any other woman on Earth. The Y Chromosome is host to 1% of the genome’s base pairs for comparison, and my mutation has less than a billionth of a percent of its quantity.
CAH has nearly taken my life on three occasions due to adrenal crisis. Those of us with it must live on three dosings of prednisone and two of Florinef a day, which alter in dose amount to mimic a healthy person’s cortisol fluctuation but can never be determined perfectly and leads to accidental overdose every now and again. Aside from adrenal crises, we also suffer from horrendous skeletal/joint damage, heart destruction, dangerous blood pressure, eye problems, and are at an extremely heightened risk of autism due to neonatal androgen exposure. None of the above should mark me as a new or third sex as my genotype does not contain a sex chromosome other than X or Y, I do not produce a gamete other than ovum or sperm, and I do not have a reproductive system spawned neither of Mullerian nor Wolffian origin. I am XX, female, and produce ovum though I am infertile and cannot pass them. Any XY disorder will be unable to produce ovum as anti-Mullerian hormone disables it and the lack of a second X to make ovaries is the second bar uncrossable. XX sex reversals do not ever produce sperm, which is coded for on the Y Chromosome.
There’s plenty more intersex disorders than my own, too, so I’ll go in depth on them.
Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome is the one most people are familiary with. It is caused by mutations in the AR gene and subsequently means a person will not have functioning androgen receptors. This means male development cannot take place but the Y Chromosome is still intact so anti-Mullerian hormone is released and testes are formed in place of ovaries and a uterus. These testes will not be exposed to androgens because the androgen receptors do not work and will forever remain within the body cavity where they are prone to becoming cancerous. Should they need to be removed due to cancerous potential or growth, the patient will require lifelong estrogen injections for bone and heart health in the absence of which they will die. AIS is the healthiest of intersex conditions.
Swyer Syndrome, the only XY condition to develop a uterus, does so because it is caused by mutations of genes that write for anti-Mullerian hormone like SRY and MAP3K1. Without functioning anti-Mullerian hormone, no Wolffian (male) structures like testes can form and instead Mullerian structures (uterus) forms. Ovaries do not form because they require two copies of the X-locused genes to make. Without ovaries or testes, a person with Swyer Syndrome will not have enough estrogen to keep their bones and heart healthy and will be unable to walk. They also do not go through puberty at all and that is very dangerous. Doctors must gives them shots of estrogen as soon as puberty should normally start to make sure their bones and hearts develop properly in that crucial time.
Hypospadias that is considered intersex is caused by 17-beta-hydroxylase deficiency–another form of CAH. It like all other forms of CAH is deadly without careful lifelong pharmaceutical dependence. It’s caused by mutations of CYP17A1 and severs production of important steroids like cortisol whilst also severing production of androgens. Hence why it causes deformities of the penis. All hypospadias patients are male, XY, because for a penis to develop rather than clitoris/clitoromegaly, there must by the blueprint of the Y Chromosome with its anti-Mullerian ability.
Lipoid Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia is the rarest form of CAH but most overlooked. It is caused by mutations of the stAR gene that makes a protein to transport cholesterol into the adrenal glands to be made into all sex hormones and cortisol. Lipoid patients have absolutely no hormones, called global silencing, and the vast majority die shortly after birth. Because there are no hormones, XY patients develop a female phenotype but with internal testes because the Y Chromosome is still not mutated and allows for anti-Mullerian hormone to be produced. The testes and adrenal glands become stuffed with the body’s cholesterol buildup and are consumed into fatty tissues, hence the disorder’s name of “lipoid.” The testes are most often removed as they are highly prone to becoming cancerous. Lipoid patients take prednisone and Florinef in the same pattern as other CAH patients but may also take pregnenolone alongside them.
CAH by POR deficiency is another rare and overlooked form of CAH. It causes physical and mental deformities similar to that of Antley-Bixler Syndrome on top of the same medical needs as a lipoid CAH patient. This is what Antley-Bixler type manifestation looks like:
Turner Syndrome–X0 or X– is caused by a second X Chromosome not being passed down into a gamete. Turner patients are always female as they have no anti-Mullerian coding that would be present on a Y Chromosome. They suffer a myriad of physical and mental dysfunction. The photo below is of a young girl who suffers Turner Syndrome.
XXY, KIinefelter Syndrome, is another of the relatively healthy intersex disorders. It’s simply caused by the mother or father’s gamete passing down an extra X Chromosome it accidentally obtained while being formed. Klinefelter’s patients are always male as they have anti-Mullerian production by the Y Chromosome. No amount of X Chromosomes can undo the “no female” power switch of anti-Mullerian hormone. Klinefelter’s guys suffer infertility, loss of cognitive function, and are prone to testicular and breast cancer. This guy here’s a Klinefelter patient:
Having more than two sex chromosomes always leads to extreme loss of fertility to complete sterilization and loss of mental function. No one’s survived with more than five sex chromosomes so far. Extra chromosomes are never healthy, as can be told to you by people with Down’s Syndrome. The converse is true for Turner Sydrome. There’s no male counterpart to Turner Syndrome–a Y0 or Y genotype–because the X Chromosome is needed for life and those fetuses would not develop or live.
This should cover the vast majority of intersex disorders and if there’s any one in specific I can explain let me know.
honestly there is nothing i love more then seeing actual real intersex people shut these fuckers down
there’s a huge difference between something empowering you and something make you feel confident
like, wearing makeup makes me feel confident. it doesn’t empower me
getting an education doesn’t necessarily make me feel confident, but it is empowering
any questions @ liberals who still think their sharp eyeliner game is genuinely empowering????
im not trying to be mean but growing up AFAB is a very real and very unique experience that we deserve to be able to talk about :(((
Hey right now I am being dogpiled by transmisogynists. I don't have time to explain this to you but your experience is not as unique as you want it to be and implying that trans women don't experience the same things is transmisogynistic
actually i did grow up as a girl you unbelievable shithead :)
No you didn't
Personally I love being a moral puritan. Like yea stay the fuck away from me if you think kids are hot and/or watch torture porn. I love being a pearl-clutcher it’s great
Also lmao you can’t be a Marxist-Leninist and be into gender politics. They were all about the oppressive material reality against women, about how women are exploited for their reproductive labor, how prostitution is a form of sex based oppression.
You can’t act like gender is simply a feeling when it’s not, it’s not real, there’s just a material sex based reality.
terfs: biology is real!
also terfs: if you are taking estrogen and antiandrogens you are still a MAN. none of the innumerable physical and psychological differences caused by hormones count, because you still have a METAPHYSICAL ESSENCE OF MAN, because we said so
more like: if you are taking estrogen and antiandrogens you are still a man. none of the effects of the hormones matter because your body is still that of a man, due to your male sex. stop deluding yourself into thinking you’re a woman because you’re sprouting man tits
I drunk milk today and therefore am a baby cow.
i was in a rush and didn’t even get to point out the fact this socially inept recluse of a creature is claiming that estrogen PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS on men and therefore makes them women…. luv the misogyny
Ime the effects of estrogen on the brain actually are really noticeable and “girly”
When my brain is more estrogenised I am much subbier, much more attracted to men, move more smoothly and elegantly, and am much more prone to do things like dote over pretty flowers or cute polka dots. In fact it’s honestly amazing just how feminine the effects are!! :3
You’re a misogynistic autogynephile that sees women as stupid hetero submissive decorations. Fuck off creep.
Wow I never realized my lack of interest in men and dislike for polka dots come from me not having enough estrogen… Maybe I should get on female hormones too! “Girly” myself up by awwing over shitty patterns and wanting to be choked. Sounds like a super scientifically accurate logic that’s totally legit!
Both of these men are a fucking danger to any woman around them. Never speak to a woman again please, you’re disgusting.
"Say vagina havers"
"Says vagina havers"
"OMG TERF"
We aren’t allowed to say the word vagina because it reminds these freaks that women exist and for once something isn’t about them
You lot see a woman dating a camp or "effeminate" man and go "haha does she know she's a beard" as if bi men don't exist and don't have cause to subvert gender norms/have a complicated relationship with masculinity, regardless of who they're dating.
There’s also this implication that these women who date “effeminate” men can’t be genuinely attracted to them and are naive and oblivious towards their effeminacy. It a complete refusal to acknowledge that not only do gnc bi men exist, but women can be and are actually attracted to them. There doesn’t have to be settling or smoke screens in the relationship for it to work.
The "opposite" is also true! You see men dating "masculine" or butch women and people be like "lmao we know who wears the pants in that relationship" like Let women date "feminine" men and let men date "masculine" women. It's none of your business. Leave them alone. No one's lying to anyone.
Both of the points are so *chef kiss* perfecto. Thank you!
terfs r sexy
a little smth for the britpop pacino nation
this needs no context because it applies to almost everything
butch t/rfs are so. .
amazing and wonderful
there! I finished the sentence for you :)
