Hello!

You can call me Spike!

I’m bigender, alterhuman, and a femboy. This is my blog where I post random crap!

I don’t have a DNI, but I do block people freely.

I can’t think of anything else interesting. Oops. Bye bye!

Hey white people. Fat is not an ethnicity. You are an oppressed group who deserves so much better but fat is a body type anyone can have or develop. White fat people have no right to speak over black people and the trend has been common for decades even tho fat is not the new black, nor disability, nor transness when there are black peoples, native peoples, brown and asian peoples you're straight up the fuck ignoring.

This is a blanket post because I am talking about fat white people, a beautiful group irregardless who taught me alot about self love and autonomy but that is why I am reminding you what I reminded my dear friends growing up.

You are a real minority but you are white first. And it shows in your values from how you came up. It shows in critical lack of class solidarity. It shows in the privilege to not have to unlearn baseline insecurity, harassment behaviors, racism and misogyny.

This is no chastisement, just a reminder. If people like you taught me things, its my turn. The hillbillies I grew up with taught me that they were white first and fought for and with me because of that truth of privilege.

This is the class expectation I expect from black people and white people who follow me. One side is handling these expectations better and it hurts all of our growth.

Reblog this, won't ya?

Happy Pride, everyone. Remember to check your racism this pride month, being queer doesn't exempt you from being bigoted towards others.

Have a good time, as wel. 🫶🏽

I need fat female characters in tv whose weight is inconsequential. It means nothing to the story.

She's fat and gets the guy and no one bats an eye.

She's fat and the hottest chick in the sorority and that's normal.

She's fat and an actress and she gets good roles.

She's fat and she's funny and she has character depth and growth.

She's fat and the main character and no one mentions her weight once.

I'm fat and my weight doesn't play a part in my day to day conversations, or plans, or friendships. Why can't I have that on tv?

intersex culture is being so damn tired of the tag spam with the inevitable pride month posts that have nothing to do with intersexuality (and often actively exclude intersexuality despite adding the tag). we're already barely considered as it is, it just makes it feel like intersex is one more bingo square to fill out rather than something that refers to real people who are already constantly ignored and pushed out of queer spaces.

(and also that one fucking person who said that intersex people shouldn't count as queer because "it's not a sexuality or gender"?????)

anon how does it feel to be the realest motherfucker out there

perisex people if youre going to include us in your tag spam, please make an effort to include us as human beings too. we belong at pride, we belong in queer spaces. please make an effort to make us feel welcome and not a shadow. ive spent so long in the closet about being intersex and this year i am making it the focal point of my pride celebration. i dont want to be met with crickets, and im sure no one else in the community does as well. make the "i" in lgbtqia+ feel more welcome if you want to spread good this pride month. anon is right a lot of it feels incredibly perfomative and i hope we can fix that

[thisisexorsexism]

In the linux/tech sphere theres this meme that using certain tools, languages and OS will make you transfemme. It IS kind of funny, but people often take it too far and post things like the transfemme pipeline under posts that dont even mention the joke, and when someone did that under one of my posts I obviously felt dysphoric and said I wasnt a woman, to which multiple people answered "Not YET", and when I specified I was trans, but nonbinary, someone wrote basically "ah so youre halfway there already!" and implied it was only a phase caused by me being scared to be a "full woman". As someone who was forced to grow up as a girl that felt horrible, but I didnt know how to convey that

this is exorsexism

As someone with PMOS (formerly PCOS), I didn't fully realize just how intersex I was until I went on testosterone. Like, I knew that logically I was intersex. I had a medical condition that made my testosterone higher than what is considered normal for perisex cis women. Every intersex activist ever is like "yeah PMOS very much counts." So I knew intellectually I was. But I didn't really notice just how much PMOS impacted my life until suddenly, it wasn't anymore, because I was on T and all the things that used to be "symptoms" of a "disorder" were now the desired effects of the hormones I was taking.

I didn't realize how much time I spent wondering when the hell my period was going to show up, and if it wasn't going to show up and I was going to have to worry about that again when occasionally, I was capable of being regular and not having that be an issue, until suddenly I was on T and not having a period was considered a good thing and proof that it was working, and every doctor wanted my periods to be stopped and asked if they were, instead of fretting about how it had been too long since I had one.

I didn't realize that literally every time I put on a dress, I noticed that I didn't have as pronounced of a waistline as perisex cis women are "supposed" to have until I went on T and watched that waist melt away completely and that was a good thing that meant I was responding well to HRT.

I didn't realize that loads of the time when I was singing with my choir and struggling to hit a higher note, I thought about how probably, I was an alto because of my higher testosterone levels, until I started singing bass instead.

I didn't think about just how often my mother commented on my facial hair and how I should get it waxed, or how much I was aware that me choosing to leave it and not do anything about it was considered an unusual, GNC choice, until I was on T and everyone was congratulatory and excited when they saw that I had facial hair. Now that was a good thing that people celebrated.

And so on and so forth.

I don't want anyone's takeaway from this to be "going on HRT cures being intersex" because like, a) every variation is different, some of them are still going to have effects on cross-sex HRT (for lack of a better term), and some mean that it wouldn't even work at all, b) I have not stopped being intersex either. Like, it's not an issue or thing I have to think about currently, but I would like to have children some day, and PMOS is going to be a huge issue then and make that a lot harder.

Rather my point is that if you're a person with PMOS, and you feel like you aren't really intersex, or aren't intersex enough, or sure, you're intersex, but like, you're the bottom tier of the community, and all those people with real variations are above you. You only think that because you're used to PMOS. The ways that it impacts your life ever single day have become invisible to you. You don't notice them because that's always been your life. But if one day, they went away? You would absolutely notice. There would be a massive, gaping hole where your PMOS was. You would suddenly realize that actually, it was taking up so much space in your brain, and was a constant thing in the back of your mind that perisex people don't have to think about. And this also goes for every other intersex variation. I imagine loads of intersex people deal with thinking "yeah, sure, it's a problem for other people, but I don't really have it that bad." Yes, you do. You're just used to it.

It's easy to think that you don't have things very bad, or you aren't as impacted by bigotry as everyone else, because you are used to being yourself. So you see your own experiences as baseline. I want everyone reading this to realize that isn't actually true. Whatever your identity is, it has a way bigger impact than you realize. You might think it barely effects you now, but you'd absolutely notice the hole it left if it went away. So yes, actually you are trans enough, or non-binary enough, or queer enough, or a real POC, or whatever.

ive been thinking about how some trans spaces and media lack representation of bottom surgery and itd be nice if we could talk about and depict it more. but my attempts to formulate this into a coherent thought lead me to standing in front of the microwave idly thinking "we should normalize men with penises" as if thats a brave new frontier nobody has ever considered.

[redstonedust]

i do find the rules around clothes fascinating because of how made up it all is. we invented the idea of covering our bodies from the elements because we lack fur like other mammals and then made up all these rules around it and now people will unironically tell you "men cant wear skirts its unnatural" girl none of this is natural. we are born naked and made up the rest as we went along. hope this helps.

[transandrogyny--turtlebug]

I'm sorry but when did we move away from "Access to hrt and surgery is a privilege" because we should probably move back to that one

Sachenbian

[pt; Sachenbian]

Sachenbian is a combination of the terms; sapphic (WLW/QLW), achillean (MLM/QLM), and enbian (NLN/QLN). Someone who is attracted to women as a woman, someone who is attracted to men as a man, and someone who is attracted to enben as an enban.

Personal Experience From Requester;

[pt; personal experience from requester]

“People always mention sapphilians but forget their lesser known siblings! I use Sachenbian as I am a nonbinary person who is attracted to nonbinary people as well as a woman who is attracted to women and a man who is attracted to men!”

Cute little rainbow heart for pride month tumblr but how about you stop disproportionally banning trans women and marking sfw queer posts as mature

[asexual-amanita]

I have Tourette syndrome. My disability is not a punchline. I need you to understand that while some individual tics can be humorous, the condition as a whole is not. You have no idea the struggles that TS causes. The social isolation, the co-morbid conditions, the injuries and bruises, the discomfort of merely existing in my body. It is not a fun thing to have, and it should not be thrown around like some inconsequential part of a person’s life.

[this-is-audism]

audism is the fact that in the US cops are only legally obligated to provide an interpreter after a Deaf person is detained. this results in many Deaf people being murdered by the state for not understanding instructions at things as simple as traffic stops.

many cops make no effort to use alternative communication with Deaf people even after we have identified ourselves as Deaf.

audism is also the fact that our signing is considered threatening and something that warrants murder. audism is the fact that our signing is labeled as gang signs and is used to justify murdering us. (and, for the record, actual gang signs also don't justify murder)

audism is the way Deaf people are accused of lying to "get out of things" when we identify ourselves as Deaf.... which is then used to deny us accommodations like interpreters or written communication.

audism is the fact that multiple Deaf people (mostly unhoused) have been murdered in my city alone in the last 5 years under the premises of "refusing to follow instructions" and "threatening hand gestures" and "gang signs." audism is the fact that Deaf people (and especially multiply marginalized Deaf people such as Black Deaf people) disproportionately experience police brutality even when it isn't lethal.

[dyke-parade]

actually i think andy weir's boldest writing choice in project hail mary isn't the twist that "grace was a coward & had to be forced onto the mission" which then makes his decision to potentially die to save rocky & erid so beautiful. no, the BOLDEST choice is that what triggers grace's first memory of the petrova line & astrophage at the very beginning of the book (thus kicking off the entire plot) is seeing a line of his dick blood on the floor after yanking out a still-inflated catheter
