When someone says, "I have one blue eye and one green eye since birth," society says, "Wow, that's unusual, but it's not bad! It makes you unique, it's who you are, you should be proud of your difference!"

But when someone says, "I have mixed sex characteristics since birth," society says, "That's very strange and abnormal! Why are you telling everyone about this? It's a disease, you shouldn't talk about it!"

I’d like to draw as many people as possible’s attention to this:

This is like official uk law as of September 2026 (idk what the previous one says)

Look if you’re a transphobe fuck it I don’t care but what the fuck are intersex kids actually mean to do. Ik yall transphobes love acting like intersex people don’t exist or smt but they do. This entire document (“Keeping Children Safe in Education 2026”) never once recognised sexes or genders aside from “male” “female” “man” “woman” “boy” and “girl”.

Also, it says “children who are questioning their gender”. I technically fall under this as someone under 18 in the uk, I’m not questioning my gender. I’m pretty much as close to 100% sure of my gender as you can be. It’s becoming a pattern that this document refuses to acknowledge that trans kids exist, they want to act like all kids are simply “questioning their gender”, cause clearly they’re too young to know (/s)

Hi I would like to ask out of curiousity but why is wanting to be intersex harmful? I thought it was just another sex like male or female, except you dont want to be in any binary, or want mixed characteristics, while I might understand discrimination might be a point, but its also a point in other identities and sexes etc. yet I don't see the same rule. Why is that? /genq /nm

I responded to a similar question, and later an anonymous person showed me a post on Tumblr where the issue of trans‑intersex (transid) was described in detail (link).

Intersex is NOT a third sex.

Intersex is NOT a gender.

Intersex is NOT about wanting atypical sex characteristics.

Do NOT confuse intersex with altersex or other similar terms.

Intersex refers to innate or naturally acquired sex characteristics that are considered “atypical.” Intersex is not a “third sex” — This is a description exclusively of a person whose natural sexual characteristics go beyond social norms.

Personally, I’m not very fond of the concept of “male” and “female” sex. Labeling sex characteristics as “male” and “female” sounds rather odd, but as far as I know, there aren’t any good alternatives yet.

That’s why awareness about intersex is very important.

"Intersex is an Abnormality."

Following that logic, we could also label blue-eyed or red-haired people as "abnormalities," and stereotype blondes as unintelligent.

This is reminiscent of a time when Black people were considered abnormal and underdeveloped, fueled by stereotypes claiming they were barely more intelligent than apes.

People become so fixated on their perceptions of what is "normal" and what is "not" that anything differing from their self-imposed reality is seen as an abnormality. They attempt to "correct" it, to force it to fit into their world, saying, "We're just trying to help; after all, this world isn't designed for people like you." But you are the ones who designed it this way! Open your eyes and realize that we are diverse! Stop projecting your binary notions onto intersex individuals!

Intersex is not a deviation from the norm; intersex people are just people. Although they are different from you, that is not a bad thing! Stop living within your limited worldview and trying to force others to conform to it.
