• Friendly reminder bæddel, hermaphrodite, & futa are all slurs no matter the context.
• Intersex doesn't mean having a penis and vagina/cosexual/bigenital.
• When trans people go on about how "cis people get gender affirming care" "cis people get puberty blockers/hormones" etc, you are talking about intersex people. And most of the time we don't have the autonomy granted to us to choose. The same system oppresses us and forces us into the status quo. The only difference is for intersex people they are medically forced into one sex category, for the peritrans they are denied medical things to keep them in society's binaries. It's a lack of autonomy.
• IGM (intersex genital mutilation) is when doctors decide to genitally change intersex babies. These surgeries are only cosmetic, meaning the doctors do not care about how it functions, just the look.
• Every single anti trans law has made an exception for intersex people so they can continue oppressing us.
• Lying about being intersex doesn't make you safer. You as a trans dude lying about having gynemastica isn't making you safer. Intersex people are treated just as badly.
• Intersex people are still raped & mutilated by the medical system (yes even in '1st world' countries) and it's common practice.
• A species cannot be "all intersex", as being intersex refers to variations in ones sex.
• Whenever you see a "nonbinary" animal, it's usually just an intersex animal.
• Intersex people are not assigned "intersex" at birth, We usually still have AGABs, as AGAB was original used by doctors to refer to us. Additionally, an intersex person may be reassigned throughout life.
• SIG refers to socially imposed gender, for many intersex people they have an inconsistent socially imposed gender.
i'll think of more later, feel free to add on
