There needs to be a real discussion about how y'all cannot help but dequeer intersex people. It's not intersex kids being forced into/pressured into SRS, its lucky cis kids. it's not a trans woman, its someone who's birth sex is "too close" to being female so they are "basically cis". Some of you queers are allergic to acknowledging intersex people are their own group, with their own diverse experiences, and their own struggles that deserve conversations that do not centre you.

Overemphasizing someone as cis (even if they tell you otherwise) as a way to undermine their voice as an intersex person is erasure. Barring us from queerness is erasure of our struggles. How can you call yourself someone who is a supoorter of the LGBT when you only care about yourself? Your voice matters as much as that of a white feminist's.

"tma/tme" "lesboys idk if it's valid tbh..." "idk if i can accept bi lesbian:/" "transandrophobia is it real or not?" "it's not possible to be gaybian!!" "transmisogyny/transandrophobia doesn't exist" "it's bad to be an afab trans woman" WHO FUCKING CARES. ALL QUEER PEOPLE ARE OPPRESSED EVERYWHERE. WE ARE BEING KILLED EVERYWHERE. IT IS NOT THE TIME FOR KINDERGARTEN ARGUING

My ex-best friend suddenly becoming very right wing, supporting ICE and Reform UK even while I’m a trans boy, and after I got mad at her and sent a lot of angry messages, she started commenting on my capcut account, saying I deserved to get bullied in Year 7 because I “thought I was an animal”, and calling me a girl online, and suddenly making fun of anything to do with Alterhumans, Furries or LGBTQIA+ people

(More of a rant than anything, sorri)

This is alterhumisia and queermisia.

"Are you AMAB or AFAB? Are you transmasc or transfem? Are you TME or TMA?"

I don't know, you tell me. What I say never seems to matter. My gender, biology, and history always come back to whatever internet weirdos find to be the most convenient for them at any given time.

It’s so funny to hear it from people who start off by saying, "We support intersex people!", only to then turn around and claim that being intersex is a "mutation," that intersex people can be neatly divided into "men" and "women," that self-discovery is "invalid," or that if your variation doesn't cause you health issues, you're "not actually intersex"—and other such nonsense.

Last month, in a queer community, I shared my trans and cis experiences, which are tied to my intersex and neurodivergent lived experience. Someone reposted my message to an exclusionist queer channel that supposedly "supports" intersex people. They wrote that no intersex person would ever call themselves "cis+trans," calling it a "disgrace" to the community. They also claimed that unless a doctor has confirmed it, I can’t call myself intersex. On top of that, they called me a 12-year-old girl who's just "attention-seeking"—even though I’m almost 19, and my age was literally listed in my profile.

I just want to say that your "support" for intersex people vanishes the exact moment our actual lived experience becomes inconvenient for you or doesn't fit into your binary worldview.

the ask i saw about someones college reminded me of something that happend in middle school!

in science class we had to write things down that made people human (& i want to also say! it was all either stuff other species have, or something some humans, like disabled people, may not have/be able to do. so the whole thing was just wrong. fuck that teacher)

& when others wrote down pregnancy & reproduction i did not, because i knew some people who would be expected to be able to get pregnant cant, becauss of how they were born or maybe because of something that happened to them, & my teacher just told me to not think about that!

it really disgusts me the way the people are taught, even in professiona settings, to ignore intersex people! i hope the medical system changes. its just cruel.

(sorry about any typos, & the weird formatting)

This is intersexism, ableism and queermisia.

Not only is it just straight up wrong to categorize humanity by things we can and can't do since there is so much overlap with other animals and disabled and intersex people exists, it also just is fucked for people who choose not to do those things. Gay men and lesbians who can't have kids with their partners or choose not to, aro/ace folks who don't want to start a family or have partners, trans folks who are dysphoric because of the way they reproduce and decide not to, it's all just an awful framework on how to categorize humanity since it will never be that simple or easy to do. (I'm aware I'm missing examples of why people choose not to have kids, because it's so much more nuanced than this!)

But, specifically on the note of intersex folks who can't have kids, this is. Appalling. "Just don't think about that!!" Why would you make an assignment where we have to categorize things then just decide to keep important additions out of the discussion because it doesn't sit neatly with your lesson plan? "Let's talk about fruits, but let's not include tomatoes because that's too confusing!" Dude 🫩

That teacher sounds inept, ngl. But, unfortunately, this is very common and even expected of teachers so I can't even fully blame them, just because of how fucked the schooling system is.
