I actually love SU so much...this makes me want to rewatch it for the billionth time lol.

Just a friendly reminder!

If you make a species with male and female genitalia, do not call them intersex. Do not call them the h-slur.

You can call them bigenital. You can call them cosex. There are probably even more options for you to use that I can’t remember off the top of my head.

Respect intersex voices.

WITCHES FOR QUEER RIGHTS

"Why do you talk so much about being intersex?"

Over 90% of parents of visibly intersex children opt for cosmetic surgery on their infants.

The ones that don't experience medical violence then, likely experience it as a teenager.

I didn't.

I am very rare in that I did not experience medical violence.

Why? Because I learned what intersexuality was as a young age, and I actively fought against what doctors wanted to do to me. All the way down to legal research on what medical care minors can be forced into. I remember walking into that doctor's appointment with the state law written down that proved that if I did not consent they could not do surgery.

That is why intersex activism is important. It saved me and it will save more.

"But only 2% of the population is intersex. It's not that common. Why should we reframe or perception of gender for intersex people?"

Completely ignoring the fact that empathy exists. You do realize that 2% of the population in the medical field is considered very common, yes?

2% of children and 0.5% of adults have a peanut allergy and that's so common that they have entire rules around in in public spaces.

0.24-1% of the population has Rheumatoid arthritis. That's an eighth to a half of the number of intersex people!

1-2% of people are estimated to have autism, and that's considered a common condition.

0.1%-2.6% of people will get melanoma in their life time, and that's considered common.

1.2% of people have epilepsy and that's considered common.

Completely ignoring statistics like 6% of women have PCOS (which is a condition that can fall under the intersex umbrella). 2% of the population in the medical field is considered a common condition, and ergo by medical terms intersex is in itself common.

I don't think you realize how big 2% is. That's 2 in 100 people. If you walk into 3 fully filled classrooms (when I was in school a full classroom was 40 students). Chances are you just saw 2 intersex kids and didn't even know it.

So yeah. I think intersex is common enough to include in our discussions around gender and how transphobic rules affects intersex people.

LOUDER FOR THE FOLKS IN THE BACK

"Intersex rare" intersex everywhere . actually

[intersexelphie]

intergender is honestly the best way to describe my relationship to gender as an intersex person bc even for someone who for the most part identifies as a woman, I have never felt entirely like a girl, nor have I ever felt entirely like a boy.

and maybe part of that is society making me feel less feminine bc of how my disorder impacts me and maybe some of it is genuinely just how my brain is wired, idk, but it gives me peace to use that label. it’s one I feel 100% comfortable with.

[littlefruitbigworld]

Thank you!!! 💛💜💛 I connect with your post so hard. You’ve put my jumbled feelings into concrete words.

SHI / HIR ; an intersex-exclusive pronoun set that sounds identical to "she" and "her". originally coined as a way to oppress us by combining she and him, the pronouns were reclaimed in the modern day by an anonymous 4chan user.

Your gender is yours! Being intersex does not make you less of a woman or less of a man. If you are nonbinary, being intersex as well doesn't change who you are! Intersex can seem like a scary term, especially as a new realization about yourself. But "intersex" isn't a bad word! It doesn't strip away a gender you have lived and connected to. It doesn't decide what gender you will identify with in the future. "Intersex" simply describes people whose bodies develop outside of the typical sex binary. Remember that your intersex status doesn't determine or dictate your gender. Your gender belongs to you!

"gender i was assigned at birth" and "gender i was raised as" and "gender i want to be seen as" and "gender i am seen as" are all different things. sometimes none of them line up with eachother. some of them change multiple times throughout life.
