#17 beta

[yourfaveisintersex]

Rumi from KPop Demon Hunters is intersex, and her variation is 17-beta Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase 3 (17-beta HSD) Deficiency with ambiguous genitalia consisting of clitoromegaly & labial fusion, along with vulvar hypospadias, hypoandrogenism, two testicles with microorchidism, and a prostate in place of a uterus.

Requested by @dhddmods + elaboration (with potential spoilers) under the cut!

The requester elaborates: " She can be interpreted as intersex-coded, or otherwise queer-coded/disabled-coded.

In an intersex reading, Rumi represents a visibly intersex person, Celine represents the caregivers and doctors of a visibly intersex person, and the Honmoon represents the pericisnormative patriarchy. Rumi has patterns which she was told to hide and be ashamed of, as they go against the Honmoon. The patterns do no physical harm to her - in fact, hiding them is what harms her. She tries everything to get rid of them, which causes them to spread (which can be interpreted as an intersex person being coerced into medical procedures, such as birth control or HRT, in an attempt to hide their intersexuality, but instead it only hurts them/makes it more visible).

She is so ashamed of her patterns that she won't even go to the bathhouse with her friends, and Celine encourages this hiding, saying nothing can change until her patterns are gone. When she is outed as having patterns, she confronts her caregiver Celine, who can't even look at her, and asks why she never loved her. Celine says "everything I was taught told me you were wrong" and that she "tried her best to accept her", but Rumi says that telling her to hide her body isn't acceptance.

By the end of the movie, she created a new Honmoon (which can be interpreted as deconstructing the pericis patriarchy and creating a new world), and shows off her patterns happily, going to the bathhouse and walking around in public with them on display, no longer ashamed. "

Want to support my cats? Please buy them treats or towers on Amazon. (Please) (I do not want to ask for food for myself, but its getting bad and I really don't want to get rid of my cats.)

I'm thinking of bringing back more of the color schemes from the original version of the website, but like color coded. i don't know what categories of color coding there should be. thinking of doing dark blue or purple for all of the surgery related pages. to distinguish them. idk i'm constantly trying to resort things. i really need to go to sleep. also update things. going to go to sleep.

if you liked the website, please help out my cats. thank you.
