huge coming from the site who is so against black art that 'tumblr users are afraid of rap' has been a meme for the best part of a decade. You know that yall are 4channers with pronouns right?

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

an interesting amnt of people seem to think of intersexism as a "less bad" form of oppression for.... one of the only kinds of oppression that routinely involves mutilating infants and young children. and then a lifetime of very specific and unique medical abuse. it actually makes me feel kind of insane

like. Trans bottom surgeries have to meet a pretty high standard- and that's a very good thing! People would not be getting these bottom surgeries if they were bad. Trans bottom surgeries are almost always very good, advanced, visually "realistic" (look close to or indistinguishable from natal genitals, depending on the surgery), and prioritize very good outcomes for function and sensation- genitals that work the way genitals should, feel pleasure (if desired), and heal well.

This is not true for IGM (intersex genital mutilation) victims. When i say intersex infants and children are being mutilated, i am not disparaging bottom surgery- i mean that the intersex ""corrective"" surgeries performed against our will do not meet the same standards. They aren't something we choose, they're forced on us. Victims of IGM are often left with chronic pain, issues with genital function and sensation, poor aesthetic outcomes, and scarring (which affects both the visual appearance AND can cause functional issues). These surgeries are completely unnecessary and done largely at the doctor's discretion, often without the knowledge of parents (either because they were not told or they were fooled), and the victim is almost always deeply unhappy (and often dysphoric) as a result. Doctors get to decide to mutilate us, lie to our families, and then also mistreat and abuse us for the rest of our lives. Further, outside of the surgical procedures, growing up intersex means routinely going through violating and invasive "inspections" of your genitals by doctors. I can recall having doctors, nurses, and volunteers demand to see my genitals as a young child, touching and examining them without my consent- same for my breasts once i hit puberty. Just about every intersex person i know can say the same. It's routine and constant medical and sexual abuse from medical professionals.

And that's not even getting into the social impact! Finding work is difficult when you're intersex. Dating is so much more dangerous when you're intersex. Intimacy is so much more dangerous when you're intersex. We have extremely high rates of childhood bullying, as well as extremely high rates of physical and sexual abuse. We're highly fetishized, both in broader society ("herm" porn) and even pretty significantly within the queer community. I hesitate to talk about my intersexness & my body in many spaces because of how many times talking about my body has resulted in people saying creepy shit about wanting my body and thinking people like me are ~sexy~, or asking invasive & often very dehumanizing questions. It's incredibly objectifying. It feels like i am not an equal to almost anyone, like i'm just some idea of a perfect sex toy with both parts and it feels awful. And everyone ignores it!!!! No one talks about it!!!! Everyone just brushes us off as this "lesser" issue, not as serious as things like homophobia or transphobia. We're always "collateral damage", "outliers", "edge cases", "accidental targets". And i'm sitting here trying to tell you we ARE targets! Society at large does not love us. It wishes to mutilate, rape, and abuse us. PLEASE love your intersex siblings. We're drowning and we need your help.

for the lovely lovely deafies out there who want to get involved in direct action you absolutely 100% cannot ever bring a hearing aid or cochlear implant with bluetooth to any direct action. bluetooth devices all carry a unique signal that can be used to identify you if it's picked up at a direct action. go with a [more] hearing buddy and communicate in sign language. if you don't mutually know a sign language then come up with gestures. do not risk your freedom because you want to have your hearing aid/cochlear implant at the action. it's not worth it.

[wheelie-sick]

flock cameras are also now tracking bluetooth device signatures when you pass them. if you drive past a flock camera with your bluetooth-enabled hearing aid or cochlear implant, the flock camera knows you passed through

[thewolfwaitsbelow]

Wait I just realized this is gonna apply to all cgms and most if not all insulin pumps. They’re all Bluetooth devices, it’s essential to how they work

I did not think it possible, but I have just developed even more hatred, derision, and contempt for the perpetual surveillance state.

over here glass half full as fuck bc my first thought was "i fw everything"

[napoleononthebellerophon]

i dont think its a "sin" to "destroy and betray yourself for nothing" because there's no such thing as sin, there's no such thing as yourself and there's no such thing as nothing. and destruction and betrayal are subjective. you're most likely totally fine.

husband: I'm so glad we finally have our own place! You did such a great job decorating it, honey

fujo wife: Really? You don't think it's kind of...chintzy?

I got an e-mail from my son's school saying they have "become aware of a proposed student walkout on Thursday 13 August associated with the “Students Say No to Hanson” event, protesting Pauline Hanson and One Nation" and that "the proposed walkout is not supported or endorsed by me (the principal) or by school staff." They also recommended that "families discuss... with their children before Thursday" so I texted my kid about it, he didn't know it was happening and wasn't fully aware of who Pauline Hanson was, but now he knows, and is mad as hell, and is absolutely talking part in the walkout tomorrow lol Can't even rely on schools to do the woke indoctrination anymore, I have to do it all myself smh

The music industry is built on the backs of teens who said they were going to be best friends forever and then weren't.

We have got to stop framing our oppression in ways that promote the idea that other people cannot relate to our struggles. Not only does it isolate comrades in the struggle, it actively diminishes recognition of other struggles--often including those even more horrific than what we are at risk of. And this happens especially between Gay and Black struggles.

"when have straight people ever had to check what states were safe for them?" Sundown towns are still a thing. Starlight tours. What states have abortion access? What states have open carry? What states have stand your ground? What states have 3-strike rules? Women, people of color, disabled people, immigrants, and more have had to be abundantly cautious where they travel to. Straight trans people have much more travel risk right now than gay cis people.

It's a new iteration of the same tired question: "imagine if straight people weren't allowed to marry" interracial marriage in the US is younger than my parents. We disgrace people of color by forgetting their history and contemporary struggles, and we abandon queer people of color, Black queer people, by segmenting their overlapping fights.

As lovelyshananigans says, "intersectionality, babes"
