Something annoying about having polyendocrine metobolic ovarian syndrome and being nonbinary is on one hand you get highly gendered as female in medical spaces and in spaces surrounded around pmos and discluded from it at the same time by nature of not being a women with the "women condition". And on the other hand out in the world where people can't know that they assume your a man when you dress quite nuetrally bc obv a fat hairy person can't be a women or enben. And then you also can feel isolated from nby spaces because of the way your body developed made it so the way you understand your body and gender strays from a lot of nby people. Especially considering other folk who may want testosterone see you as inherently lucky. Wanting pmos themselves. Or others seeing the fact that doctors want me on hormones as a sign of privledge and not the fact societally people see me as a disordered female they want to fix to make a proper female. The system itself doesnt really prioritize my health and wellbeing at all. A lot of trans people just not really understanding or realizing all the experiences you have and making assumptions. Or alternatively acting like you are going to drop dead and really wanting you to pursue hormone medication when thats something you explicitly don't want.
(Overall just wanted to put this here bc I think your blog is cool and I want trans and cis nby ppl and intersex people to have more solidarity because we all want bodily autonomy and to be treated with basic human respect in the end and I think theres a lot in common actually despite all these differences. We are all way smaller populations of people and thats why its easier to use us as scapegoats or to brush us under the rug entirely and i think we are all stronger together. I think theres meaningful conversations to be had in sharing this experience and for other intersex trans/cis nby ppl to do the same)
thank you a lot for sharing your experience with us anon. i 100% agree with your part about enben and intersex people being more caring of one another. the gender binary opresses us all, we gotta stick together.
