not exactly a request but i have an oc who's like, a fucked up escaped experiment creaturefailure and is now unofficially adopted by one of my friends ocs who's a mad scientist (who is much nicer/doesn't put xem in the Tube:tm: or force any experiments on them). anyway while joking around about doc not being a responsible pet owner due to my guy being being 'free range'/'outdoor' and decimating the local wildlife he said "don't worry, at least xe's spayed and neutered" "AND?". yeah so now my guy is officially a (former) owner of both testes and ovaries. xe already had atypical/ambiguous genitalia post-experiment but now im making it so that it was pre-experiment as well and the experiments likely fucked em up more. if it helps my guy killed xer previous shitass scientists holding them captive during the escape. gonna do a bit more research later to maybe settle on a specific variation or maybe keep it more ambiguous idk. anyways cool blog keep on trucking

Wow! This is probably the most egregiously and uncomfortably intersexist ask I've gotten yet? And am responding to.

Why do you have to refer to your intersex (presumably human) oc with animalistic and dehumanizing terms? "Xe had atypical/ambiguous genitalia [...] and the experiments likely fucked em up more" More???? Implying intersex people are fucked up already? Why are you, presumably perisex, treating the actual horror that intersex people face as something funny or casual to make jokes about? Like, I would be lying if I said I didn't let out a chuckle at the joke in quotations here, but knowing the surrounding context of it is deeply upsetting and ruined any enjoyment. And it sucks because I think this has a chance to be a good concept creatively! But there are sooooo so many fucking implications of real life intersexism here with the themes at hand, and the fact you're being so careless shows you really shouldn't be handling it in the first place.

Thanks for the compliment I guess, but I really hope you weren't expecting me to praise this as some Upstanding Example of you Not Being Bigoted? Because for one, I would say this is the opposite of that (stop talking about your nazi or 4chan or whatever phase. we get it, you were a bigot (and it's feeling like you long to be back in that mindset?) /not directed at anybody in particular), and secondly... just... man, what the fuck is wrong with you? Like shit! I agree! Do more research, you could do with listening to some of us and our stories of how doctors nonconsensually rip out the organs of intersex people and damage their genitals with scar tissue galore in the pursuit of erasing their existence and god knows what else I could word in the grossest way possible!! BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T UNLEARNED YOUR INTERNALIZED HATE OF US!??!!! EVIDENTLY!!!???

(Questioning) ncah culture is my doctor being WEIRD about the possibility of me having ncah, not giving me much help in understanding what that could mean for me, and getting EXTRA weird when I turn to intersex resources to understand WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU EVEN TESTING ME FOR. YOU WON'T EXPLAIN

(Additionally, ever since this possibility came up she's been almost trying to push me to want normative female features. Like. No. I'm not pleased my testosterone dropped from your treatment. Why are you acting like thats something to be smiling about. I have been feeling sick since it dropped??? We already know that when I've had low (for me) t my body starts fucking up)

Questioning NCAH culture is...

oh we're sharing intersex ocs? well judge mine i suppose

im perisex, i actually decided she(+ other characters, so more than 1) is intersex bc i saw somebody say "i wish there were more canonical intersex characters in this community/fandom" so i thought i'd try

her lore: she's chinese (<- this is important context) she was born with ambiguous genitalia, her parents made her go thru IGM to be assigned male. she grew up with dysphoria (among other things), reached puberty and started developing female-typical (apologize if this isn't the correct way to refer to it) secondary characteristics. then forced on testosterone for a while bc "we wanted a son"

current day: she currently no longer lives with her parents and instead moved in with her aunt, who is. well. not intersexist. she is aged 16, transfem and still figuring out what she's gonna do next bc shes a teenager.

she has quite a bubbly and hopeful personality that some people mistake for "innocence", but she is a leader. i meant that literally, shes the protagonist of a magical girl project i want to make. she is like a classic pink precure (except her color is purple). she has laser powers from her personality, hope lasers.

but i am nowhere close to actually even starting this project so uhh...

Context (link)

"Female-typical secondary [sex] characteristics" is... fine, I'd say? Like it's a solid bridge between everyday binary parlance, and intentionally intersex-inclusive language. Ultimately I know what you're trying to say and it didn't make me tense up a little /lighthearted, so good work. If you wanted to improve it though, "she went through an estrogenic puberty" or "her body estrogenized" would likely be best! sidenote i see alot of people say "estrogenizing(/androgenizing) puberty" as well, but I think that's unnecessarily long? and I believe that the -ic suffix is more intuitive, both for picking up the vocabulary for those previously not used to it, and to better translate that it's A Mode of puberty and a general umbrella of expected effects, if that makes sense.

Linguistic pedantry aside please tell me her lasers are yellow Please tell me she has yellow accents also you will be doing this community a major disservice if she doesn't /exaggeration
