When power cloaks itself in sanctity, it begs scrutiny. Think back—when leaders whispered their "holy" endorsements from pulpits, wasn't it the people's will they overshadowed? Institutions hidden behind sacred texts continue to manipulate. Hold the powerful accountable. The facade of faith as a shield for control is the real sin. Let's refuse to look away.

I'm Intersex and This Is Why I Used Tampons Just to Feel Normal

"There's this visual, this blood in your panties that you're supposed to see, that you never see."

“Intersex People Talk Periods and Dating” 

BY EVAAN KHERAJ AND VERA PAPISOVA

For those of you who don’t know what intersex is, it is a term used for various conditions in which a person is born with sexual anatomy that doesn’t seem to fit in the male or female category. For example, if you are born a female, you might lack a vaginal opening, or a boy may be born with a scrotum divided more into the form of a labia. These three intersex advocates explain their troubles with periods and dating. Getting your period signifies womanhood, but just like some men have periods, there are women and people of other genders who don’t. For intersex people who identify as girls, periods are an experience they’re taught they “should” have but don’t. Pidgeon says that she would pretend she was on her period by putting a tampon just to have a string hanging because she didn't want to have sex for the week. She said she hated sex for one, and two, she just wanted to feel normal. This is really sad because she was born this way, and for her to want to feel “normal” is ridiculous. Pidgeon and Emily said that they were scared to tell their partners they could not have kids, and maybe they should wait until being engaged to do so because they were scared their partners would leave them. And not just that, they have to deal with knowing they could never have kids on their own. Society has imposed on women that it is their job to have children and raise a family; they impose this on women as a measure of self-worth. This is a prominent feminist issue because it applies gender roles to women. Intersex women cannot control this issue; therefore, they cannot do anything about it. They are born this way so society has to stop putting gender roles on people and creating social norms. Even though they cannot have babies of their own, they can adopt children and provide a life for the ones in need, which to me is just as unique as having your children.
