welcome to our "steal a headmate" blog, themed after the vocaloid song "Specimen Girl"
What I'll do to you <-(what packs will have)
Resin and weapons <-(sources)
My one and only <-(claimed anons)
^ will become links once I make the posts
If it wasn't obvious enough, this blog has dark themes, so beware. This blog has no dni, is pro/darkship, and pro endo/willow, anti discourse as well
Dont know how this works? It's simple. Ask for a pack of a headmate from any source on our source lists: "could i steal an Ever After High alter?" Or something along those lines, and once I get around to making said pack, boom, you'll have that headmate of ours for yourself. Example
I may be willing to do packs for characters within our sources that aren't in our headspace, maybe, but it really depends. Packs of my own headmates are way easier to make.
99% of our headmates are fem in some way and 98.32% of them are fucked up, sorry in advance lol
Feel free to send asks about our collective (like silly questions for pure fun, I love answering those!!!)
• Friendly reminder bæddel, hermaphrodite, & futa are all slurs no matter the context.
• Intersex doesn't mean having a penis and vagina/cosexual/bigenital.
• When trans people go on about how "cis people get gender affirming care" "cis people get puberty blockers/hormones" etc, you are talking about intersex people. And most of the time we don't have the autonomy granted to us to choose. The same system oppresses us and forces us into the status quo. The only difference is for intersex people they are medically forced into one sex category, for the peritrans they are denied medical things to keep them in society's binaries. It's a lack of autonomy.
• IGM (intersex genital mutilation) is when doctors decide to genitally change intersex babies. These surgeries are only cosmetic, meaning the doctors do not care about how it functions, just the look.
• Every single anti trans law has made an exception for intersex people so they can continue oppressing us.
• Lying about being intersex doesn't make you safer. You as a trans dude lying about having gynemastica isn't making you safer. Intersex people are treated just as badly.
• Intersex people are still raped & mutilated by the medical system (yes even in '1st world' countries) and it's common practice.
• A species cannot be "all intersex", as being intersex refers to variations in ones sex.
• Whenever you see a "nonbinary" animal, it's usually just an intersex animal.
• Intersex people are not assigned "intersex" at birth, We usually still have AGABs, as AGAB was original used by doctors to refer to us. Additionally, an intersex person may be reassigned throughout life.
• SIG refers to socially imposed gender, for many intersex people they have an inconsistent socially imposed gender.
Hi, let's talk about an issue we've seen in the BAH community
[plain text: Hi, let's talk about an issue we've seen in the BAH community / end plain text.]
I know it’s been a hot minute since we have been active, but I see this happen often enough that it’s worth making a post on.
This post is about exactly what the title says: it's about an issue that we've seen in the BAH community as a whole, not just one section of it, and one that we would like to help correct. While I understand that this post is lengthy, I would advise reading the entire thing, as it is an important message, and should be spread. In fact, if you can, I would like to ask that you please reblog this post, so that more people see it. Thank you.

This issue is intersexism. You might think "but I'm not being malicious towards intersex people, so how can I be intersexist/do intersexist things?," but the thing is, intersexism doesn't rely on you wanting to be bigoted against intersex people. You can be unknowingly bigoted. (I will say, however, that if you double down claiming that anything said here is actually totally fine, you are intersexist, period. There are no ifs or buts about it.)
Here on out, we should warn: there is discussion of intersexism (obviously) and fetishization of intersex people. We also discuss intersexist slurs, although any usage of them will be censored, and will be discussed in a more informative context. If you cannot read the whole post because of this, that's fine. I should also note here that we are (bodily, even) intersex, so we know how to recognize intersexism, and are very intimate with this kind of bigotry. We are not just making this stuff up.
Now that the warnings are out of the way, I realize that we never named the issue directly. Simply put, the issue here is that people are offering shi/hir as pronouns for packs without regard that they are intersex exclusive, and the person requesting the pack that has them could very well be perisex (not intersex), and also offering intersex as a "gender" in packs. Both of these things are intersexist.
I will start with the most obvious thing first: intersex being offered as a "gender" in BAH packs. Intersexuality is, simply put, naturally developing a body that varies from what is typical from a "male" or "female" in chromosomes, gentilia, hormones, and/or so on. This can be from something like vulvar hypospadias (when the urethra is close or even inside the vagina), or even something such as mixed gentilia (I believe this speaks for itself). This is not a gender, and to claim so is intersexist. [Plain text: This is not a gender, and to claim so is intersexist. End plain text.]
"Intersex" is (provided you meet the definition) an opt-in label that describes something about your body. A description of your body can never be a gender, and especially not something like intersexuality. The closest there is to this is integender, which is when your gender is influenced by your being intersex, but even then, this is exclusive to bodily intersex individuals. [Plain text: exclusive to bodily intersex individuals. End plain text.] You cannot identify with this label if you are bodily perisex, even if you have "intersex alters/headmates/parts/your term here" (the definition of intersex refers to your physically body anyway), nor [plain text: nor /end plain text] if you are "transintersex", as in "transitioning to being intersex". If you are a radqueer reading this, let me elaborate: you cannot "transition" into being intersex, and to claim so is intersexist. I am anti-radqueer, and do not care if you call yourself "transintersex", as you still cannot use this term.
As a side tangent, "transintersex" in itself is an intersexist term, so if you identify with it, I would recommend unpacking your bigotry before you interact with literally anything about/with intersex people. I do not care if you feel bad about not being intersex. There are plenty of other terms out there for you that do not involve the intersexist connotations.
Someone may be wondering how "transintersex" is an intersexist term, and that's a valid question! It's ok to be confused! However, essentially, "transintersex" is intersexist because you cannot "transition" into being intersex. This is something that the definition of intersex states: you must naturally develop whatever causes you to vary from the typical "male" and/or "female". Even ignoring that, though, there lies an inherently problematic implication with the term "transintersex": if you can "transition" into being intersex, you can "transition" into being perisex. I don't believe that I have to explain why this implication is problematic and harmful, but to put it simply: the idea that one can "transition" out of intersexuality and into perisexuality (or "normality") is something used to justify medical abuse against intersex people. I will not go into detail here, but just know that it is gruesome and should not be condoned.
Now, the second issue is the one I mentioned earlier: offering shi/hir pronouns in BAH packs with no regard to the fact that they are intersex exclusive. Now, I understand that quite a bit of perisex people do not know of this, and that is fine, but you have to be ok with learning about this if you want to be a good ally to intersex people.
Now, this section can be triggering for people, as it will contain discussions of the fetishization of intersex people, specifically their bodies, intersexism, and will use the h slur fully spelled out without censoring. It is worth noting that I am using it here to be educational; some people do not know what this slur is, and so I feel as if spelling it out is the only way to truly drill my point home. I will note here that I personally do not reclaim this slur for myself, so while it should go without saying, do not call me it anywhere, including on this post or elsewhere. You will be blocked and reported. [Plain text: I will note here that I personally do not reclaim this slur for myself, so while it should go without saying, do not call me it anywhere, including on this post or elsewhere.

(Before I actually begin explaining, it is worth mentioning that pronouns such as ze/hir are ok. It is shi/hir specifically that are intersex exclusive. Also, as a summary for those who cannot read it due to the warnings, which is fine, essentially, shi/hir pronouns were originally made in the context of furry porn for the sake of fetishizing intersex bodies. As such, they are not for perisex people to use, and if you intend to put them in a pack, that is fine, but at the very least, it should come with a note that those pronouns are exclusive to intersex people.)
Now, I will try to be as simple as I can in this explanation, so here we go. For the sake of not triggering people, it is beneath the cut.
For starters, I am going to assume that most people are familiar with what furries are. Now, within the furry porn community, there are these bigential (meaning that they have both reproductive systems, presumably with them both functional (this is a classic stereotype of intersex people— that we have both reproductive systems simultaneously, and both are functional. This is a fetishistic fantasy, however, and not accurate to reality. As far as science is concerned, no human can be born with both reproductive systems and with both of them fully functioning. It is possible for someone to be born with both, yes, but at least one of reproductive systems does not work in these cases)) creatures that are caricatures of intersex people. These are known as "hermaphrodites", which is an intersexist slur, for the record.
Shi/hir pronouns were coined with this context in mind. As far as people are concerned, the very first usage of shi/hir was within this context, and for a hermaphroditic character. These pronouns, then, are drenched in fetishization in history. Inherently, they are tied to the fetishization of us intersex people, and are based on uninformed, intersexist ideas of who we are. Shi/hir pronouns were made in an intersexist context. [Plain text: Shi/hir pronouns were made in an intersexist context. End plain text]
Due to their history, it is insensitive for perisex people to use them. They are not for perisex people to use, and are exclusive to intersex people. And yes, just like earlier, this is exclusively for bodily intersex people, and neither "intersex headmates/alters/parts/term here" nor "transintersex" people are included in this.
This is not to say that you cannot at any point put these pronouns in packs. This is to say that if you do, it should at the very least come with the disclaimer that this is for bodily intersex people only. And honestly? While it is your call, and you're not really intersexist either way, I would personally hold off on including them in packs meant for perisex people.
To finish this post, I just want to say that I have hope for the BAH community. I believe that we can grow past this. However, if we truly want this community to be safe for everyone (and I mean everyone), we have to learn when to stop things that are harming people, like this, and I hope that one day, we can all grow past our intersexism.
I've seen multiple blog urls going, so I'm not sure how many blogs this fuck has, but there's some prick going around in bah reblogs with gore. I personally wouldn't open any reblogs no matter what, I just don't want to take any risks. Will update this post with any urls I find that are posting gore, send me any others if you find them so I can update this
