Out of curiousity, have you experienced any negative health effects from being on hormone blockers
Yes
No
Maybe, I'm not sure if it was the blockers
I haven't been on them long enough to know / not applicable
Please remember to reblog after voting so we can spread this! I'd love to get a good measure of it

I love youuuu đđđ
Awww yemmmms, I love chu toooo
Also why are you calling @sentient-marshmallow-woman out for bigotry but you choose to use a slur in the first couple words of your bio? There is just no reason to use that word to describe that, for everyone who would look at your bio, especially if people might have sensitivities over it
Because, as a trans person, I choose to reclaim that slur. It is an integral part of my identity, same as teh fact that I am a faggot, or a hermaphrodite. If people have sensitivities over it, they can click away. It is not my job to coddle people. Marshmallow uses slurs she cannot reclaim, and that is the difference.
And there IS a reason for me to use the slur to describe myself. I have been fetishized for being trans, I can only really be out to my mother and not the rest of my family, I have been assaulted for being trans. There are so many more reasons.
That's not really even reclamation, you're literally just using it for it's original intended purpose
Also no the only slur she's using applies to her btw, great assupmtions tho
And it's that? Not your active choice to sex out posts attacking trans people for supposedly being intersexist? Kinda feels like it's more to do with the fact that you just don't like perisex trans people
Like I've also been assaulted for being trans, I've also been fetishized for being trans, what the hell does that have to do with literally anything? Why does that change that?
I AM reclaiming it because I use it for myself. If someone wants me to use it for them, then I will, but I will not call someone a tranny unless they are comfortable with it.
And she has given no evidence that she can say the r slur, and even if she can using it as an insult is still bigoted.
And I don't seek out posts that show the intersexism in the trans community. If the blog I mainly reblog from happens to talk more about the trans community, then I have not notcied, but there is MUCH intersexism in the trans community, and as a transmascfem that is disheartening because our communities are supposed to be there for each other.
And I was giving reasons as to WHY I reclaim that slur and use it for myself.
That's not reclamation still, what evidence should she give? Do you need to give evidence that you're trans and disabled then? You haven't done that, that's deeply stupid
Oh god a "transmascfem" okay, right that checks out
Yeah no I'm done here, that's not a thing, you're just taking actual trans terms and mashing them together, I don't care if you're intersex, that doesn't make any sense, I've asked people to explain that to me several times and the best I get is "no but I've kinda experienced both" but all you're doing is actually erasing nonbinary identities, it doesn't even actually have an agreed upon definition
And those aren't reasons lol, those are entirely unrelated to your choice to continue using the slur, I have no idea what those have to do at all with the slur actually
But yeah no I get it now, you're upset with the trans community for not taking your label seriously despite it not making any sense, and because you don't want to try and attack people for not taking that shit seriously, you attack them for percieved intersexism instead, that makes a lot of sense
Wonderful! Thank you for denying an intersex identity and coming out with your blatant intersexism.
And she has never said that she has an ID, aka an intellectual disability where someone has an IQ of 70 or lower. Those are the only people who can reclaim the r slur.
I am not erasing nonbinary experiences by being intersex and having a uniquely intersex experience. Many trans people understand my identity. I am both transfem and transmasc. It is not very hard for many to understand.
You are in fact, the only person I have ever met who does not take my label seriously. Unfortunately, what you are doing is both transphobic and intersexist.
"And those aren't reasons lol, those are entirely unrelated to your choice to continue using the slur, I have no idea what those have to do at all with the slur actually" They are reasons. They are things that I have been hurt by that make me use the word in a positive way to spite the people who have hurt me.
I realize you think I'm trying to attack marshmallow, but I genuinely care about her. If I didn't, I would just block her and move on with my life, maybe vague post a little bit. But I consider her a friend, and I want my friends to be the best they can be, so I called her out. I hope that my friends and mutuals would do the same for me, and they seem to do so in my anons, which I am forever grateful for.
That's not true btw, that's not the only people the r slur have been used for and it's wild you've even suggest that, like that is actual erasure, you are not both transfem and transmasc, again that doesn't make any sense, my issue with the label is th ere is literally no way to explain it that either a. is completely self contradictory and doesn't make even an iota of sense or b. erases someone else's identities
Like I will actually pay you if you can explain "transmascfemme" in a coherent way that isn't blatant erasure of an existing identity
Also you realize using those words isn't "spiting the people who use them to hurt you" why the hell would they care? You're just spreading the words and hurting people who don't want to hear it for whatever reason, often becasue it's been used to hurt htem
Also you just have been so vague in your complaints about her that even I can't figure out what you're mad at her for, apparentlly there's something new but until then you've literally jsut been vaguely calling her bigoted without any reasl justification
Karat for fuck's sake.
you can be both this is the basis of bi/multigender identities
See that's what I thought at first, until I asked, turns out no and its actually just erasure of that too, go ask
My identity existing does not erase anyone else's. By technicality, I am multigendered, it is just not the label I prefer. Personally, I feel that transmascfem gets the point across better, same as cistranssexual and intergender.
This @sentient-marshmallow-woman ^
This
Fucking "cistranssexual"
No it doesn't, that means nothing and gets nothing across to anyone other than people already fucking head deep in the sand that is this nonsense
What the fuck does that even mean
Starting to think you just don't like trans people
You seem to be actively looking for posts trying to call them out for intersexism, yet I see very view posts about non trans intersexism
As well as the slur in your bio it's definitely making me wonder if the reason you're giving @sentient-marshmallow-woman shit is because you just have something against trans people and have been trained to believe all trans people are bigoted and intersexist by default
Also why tf do intersex people seem to feel the need to punch down on a smaller community in the weirdest ways, some of it is warranted, some of this shit is just deeply unjustified
Because intersexism is often tied into trans activism, and it is painful to see. Often times perisex trans people will use us as a "gotcha!" to transphobes, and it hurts. I have many posts calling out perisex people in general, not just trans perisex people.
I have nothing against trans people, and my decision to reclaim a slur means nothing. I am also a cripple. And I do not believe trans people are intersexist by default. I find it interesting how you came to this conclusion.
Also, we aren't punching down on trans people. If you think exposing bigotry in a community is punching down, then you are very mistaken.
Right except it is even more often times used by cis people and you seem not to call that out at even a tiny bit of the rate
You seem to explicitly and only target trans people with your callouts
Also you do know there's a difference between a gotcha and an example, right?
And finally, yeah some of the shit you "expose" just isn't bigotry, like the on I recently reblogged was you trying to "expose" bigotry when in reality it was just you complaiing that a thing not primarily about intersex people didn't go into detail about their struggles
That just comes across to me as you being upset it wasn't made about you too
Also great I'm a "cripple" too, that's still not reclamation, reclamation is like with the word queer, where we changed it's use and took away it's power, you're not doing that, your usage of slurs is just helping to perpetuate them, you're literally just using them for their intended purpose
This is most unrelated but fuck the "reclamation" nonsense, it's not reclamation if you're just using your identity as an excuse to use them, that's just using them
I do reblog posts that also call out cis people. Often times my posts only say "perisex"
And yes. It IS reclamation. reclamation is "the process of claiming something back or of reasserting a right.". I reclaim the word as something positive for myself. It is my identity. I take it in stride when people call me a fag, or a dyke, or a herm, or a tranny. Because that is who I am.
I do not use these words negatively. You could ask any of my mutuals or followers, or anyone who has been on my blog for long and see that I have never negatively used those slurs to describe someone.
You do not get to dictate how someone reclaims a word. I am a proud cripple. That is reclamation.
"And finally, yeah some of the shit you "expose" just isn't bigotry, like the on I recently reblogged was you trying to "expose" bigotry when in reality it was just you complaiing that a thing not primarily about intersex people didn't go into detail about their struggles" I am confused as to what this means, so if you could please reword it, I would appreciate that.
"Also you do know there's a difference between a gotcha and an example, right?" Yes. I do. But when intersex people are only included in the conversation when it "proves the transphobes wrong!" it is a gotcha.
It doesn't matter if it applies to you, and that's the whole point, you're not claiming it back, you're not making it a positive thing, you're literally just using it
And, okay so we're back to the same thing, you have an issue with intersex people being mentioned at all if the conversation isn't made about them, your issue is that people will bring up intersex people as a counterexample to a claim and then... what, not go into their entire history?
That's what I mean, a lot of what you call intersexism is just being upset that a post not about intersex people.... isn't about intersex people
That people would dare mention intersex people in any way without mentioning every last one of their struggles, that's not intersexism, no one does that, trans people are brought up in plenty of contexts as a passing point of a counter example, gay people, lesbians, asexuals, no one else demands that they can't even be mentioned without giving the other person a primer on their history or whatever you actually want from them, why is it so different for you?
I am making it a positive thing. I am sorry that you can't read my mind and realize that I view my reclamation as postivie, but honestly, that isn't really my problem. Believe what you want to believe.
And you are missing my point. The intersex community is an afterthought. We are always a stepping stone for every other queer community and then are called slurs and fetishized like we're nothing.
Can you honestly say you've never seen a trans person say they want to transition to be intersex? That their life would be easier if they were intersex? That they would have loved to have both genitals? That we have it easier because we are mutilated as kids and then coerced and forced to take HRT against our will to fit into the perisex society everyone tries to enforce?
I am not saying that we need to be in every conversation/ I am saying that it isn't fair that the only time we are considered by other communities is when we are a "well, intersex people exist so of course nonbinary people exist" or something like that.
I wish you could see that I'm being genuine in this conversation and that I'm not trying to attack anyone.
There is no reason what you are doing would be making it "positive" you are an afterthought because you are the ones yet to be actively targetted
No I've never seen a trans person say they want to transition to be intersex
No I've never heard a trans person say you have it easier
Yes you kinda actually are, literally explain in any other way what else you want people to do when the ybring you up to make it better
I'm seeing you're trying to be genuine, I just think you're wrong and deeply misguided,
Now I'm done for tonight, if you can give me an explanation of "transmascfem" that does't erase someone else, I will apologize, if you can explain how people using you as a counterexample to transphobic nonsense is not okay, and how to fix it in aw ay that isn't "make it all about us" go ahead
The reason you aren't actively focused on is right now you are not being publically dragged across the coals, so far you haven't at all as a community been publically dragged across the coals the way trans people are, you don't have billions of people incredibly vocally calling every intersex person mentally ill sexual predators, the reason you aren't being focused on in posters like the one you seem to have hated, is because right now it's not intersexism that's being used as a political wedge in the majority of the world
There aren't billions of proud intersexists who call you a "ssexually perverted mentally ill monstrositiy", and are currently, and this is a rela thing, celebrating the idea of intersex people about to be raped in prisons
The reason you're an "afterthought" right now is because you're not the ones being targetted by the entire goddamn planet, and you will be defended when you are, but right now it is just deeply shitty to me that you sit here and complain that trans people have the absolute audacity to try and use your existence to help transphobes understand that their view is too narrow, y'know, while said trans person is trying to defend themselves from a level of verbal hell that intersex people just don't face at the moment
A target has been painted on our back, not yours, that is the reason you aren't in the spotlight, that is the reason you aren't being focused on, that is the reason that trans people use intersex people as a counterexample but don't feel the need to detail their entire history or the complexities of their entire life
But please, if a transphobe says to me "there are only two sexes and they're determined by chromosomes" and I say "Actually intersex people exist, they show that this is an inaccurate representation of science and you should abandon it" what else should I add to that? Clearly that's intersexist to you, right? This is what that "gotcha" moment you're talking about looks like
Please do tell me what else I should add to that, because it realy feels like the only thing you wanted added to it is just a diatribe about your entire existence
Now I'm done for the night, I don't think you're a bad person, or malicious, I think you're deeply misguided and harboring a hate and predjudice you don't even realize your harboring, while failing to see the big picture, that you've fallen for stuff liek the "transmasfem" shit without realizing it's actual implications and how it reflects on actual trans identities, I think you have to take a seriously look at this shit and what you actually think would need to be done to those posters and to the "gotcha" moments and if what you're asking for is even fucking feasible
Now goodnight

"And finally, yeah some of the shit you "expose" just isn't bigotry, like the on I recently reblogged was you trying to "expose" bigotry when in reality it was just you complaiing that a thing not primarily about intersex people didn't go into detail about their struggles" I am confused as to what this means, so if you could please reword it, I would appreciate that.
"Also you do know there's a difference between a gotcha and an example, right?" Yes. I do. But when intersex people are only included in the conversation when it "proves the transphobes wrong!" it is a gotcha.
It doesn't matter if it applies to you, and that's the whole point, you're not claiming it back, you're not making it a positive thing, you're literally just using it
And, okay so we're back to the same thing, you have an issue with intersex people being mentioned at all if the conversation isn't made about them, your issue is that people will bring up intersex people as a counterexample to a claim and then... what, not go into their entire history?
That's what I mean, a lot of what you call intersexism is just being upset that a post not about intersex people.... isn't about intersex people
That people would dare mention intersex people in any way without mentioning every last one of their struggles, that's not intersexism, no one does that, trans people are brought up in plenty of contexts as a passing point of a counter example, gay people, lesbians, asexuals, no one else demands that they can't even be mentioned without giving the other person a primer on their history or whatever you actually want from them, why is it so different for you?
Opinion on chritsians or religion in general?
religion is bullshit. it's the coward's way out of taking responsibility for the actions of your fellow human, it's famously intolerant, it's caused and continues to cause multiple genocides, and keeps fucking trying to fuck with science. Christianity is especially bullshit because it's just an overgrown cult. it has ritualistic cannibalism, threatens people with "eternal damnation" if they don't follow the rules of some bullshit book, tears families apart, and fuckin dehumanises anyone who doesn't want to live without changing their body. Christians can be good people, but their religion is a cult too big for people to criticize.
wellâŠ. Iâm a Christian. And actually, my off-branch of Christianity is incredibly different from most versions. We believe in four realms to go to. One for incredibly bad people, who are the kinds who are murderers and whatnot, one for the good people who just werenât following every belief of my religion, one for the people who are basically just what most Christianâs believe are the only ones deserving of heaven which we donât agree with, and then the last one which is like our Tartarus and is for people who believe in God and are actively trying to get people to hate on him and know that Christianity is right and lowkey donât care. We also have a major policy to be allys and not discriminate and itâs seen as bad to do the stereotypical Karen Christian stuff. Not all Christianity is a cult, but a lot of it can be.
(BTW, you may hear many rumors about Mormons being really bad and hoarding money or being sexist and all that, but I assure you thatâs not true, itâs not like that at all, being a girl I can say that with certainty)
apologies but Mormonism is literally just not on my fucking radar. like, it's just not relevant to my life I've heard about it twice and both times are because of south park.
again, no offense.
lol fucking South Park? Dang.
well basically, we have three extra books of religion, The Book Of Mormon which is where our nickname came from, the Doctrine of Covenants which is the story of our churchâs (re?)founder, and the Pearl of Great Price which is lowkey forgotten for the most part. We still believe in the old and New Testament of the Bible but we have a few extra rules and we got rid of old rules. We canât have coffee, alcohol, drugs, or nicotine. Which is honestly just cuz God said to Joseph Smith (Our founder): âHey this stuff can kill you over time, please donât do that. I care about your health.â We also have missing scriptures cuz of punishments from God for sharing with the wrong people and losing original translations and all, but thatâs kinda forgotten.
oh and up until the 90s there was one state where you could kill a member of our church and get no punishment for it.
no offense, but I did not ask and I am not in the mood to learn about religion today cause of all the fucking Nazis I've had to deal with already
Don't fall for it lol idk what @stories-i-guess is on about, Mormon's are famously hateful and considered a cult
They fail to mention that their "great" founder Joseph smith had a 14 year old wife when he was 37
They're famous for attacking, ostracizing and making the lives of those who leave their cult absolute hell, and there have been documentaries made talking about just hte level of dangerously manipulative and horrible bullshit they do
One good example, they're taught that if they find parents who have lost a child, they are to try and convert htem, by continously telling them that if they don't convert their child will burn in hell forever, but if they do they'll be able to see them again
Mormon's are famously one of the worst religious groups for a lot of reasons
karat. calm down. after recent shit I think you're becoming the very shit I hate on this site. I'm sorry but you might actually need to reevaluate yourself, like I did earlier today. it might help.
I mean this is just actual fact, Mormon's are known for using manipulative and harmful tactics for indoctrination, their prophet had a 14 year old wife halfway through the 1800s, and are known for their hate of the queer community and attacks on it
Infact recently a large youtuber "Shadiversity" used his mormonism to justify his outright attacks on gay people including calling them all groomers and predators
I don't like Mormons, I've seen what they do, the damage they have caused, this is just actually all fact and you can check if you'd like
No issue with your friend but to paint their actual pedophile prophet as some sort of good person without mentioning that shit is kinda misleading
i know, but you still need to calm down. as someone who has frequent panic attacks I can see this is heading to a nuclear meltdown already.
Don't worry about me, I'm not out of control of my anger and I'm here with my lovely partner on call, I'm perfectly okay
I just know a lot of people, I have more than one friend who after trying to leave the mormon church had attempts on their life by the members of their ex-church
I do not take people trying to whitewash one of the most infamous cults lightly, and ignore the horrific shit it does
i have a friend. his name is cliche. he has a similar personality to Storie, and therefore I will assume she is either simply sparing my heart the pain of a third panic attack today or simply isn't going on about all the bad shit Mormonism has caused because let's be honest you all know I would burn all religions down equally
I feel like if she wanted to spare you a panic attack she wouldn't hav mentioned it at all, I don't think this is her fault though, I think this is her just regurigatating what other religious leaders told her
Also if she is leaving the bad shit out while trying to frame it as "better" that's still just whitewashing her religion to make it seem better than others and ignoring it's extremely glaring and harmful flaws
hey karat. I'm being attacked again. it's getting annoying at this point. more importantly how's your day going? oh right uh I have a question about NZ.
is it true y'all don't have any consistent elevation? like, is your country just lots of hills on hills or something idk why I think this
My dayâs going fine yeah, and sorta? Depends where you go, I live in auckland, which is a relatively small area on top of about 60 volcanoes, if youâre above a handful of em you get that, Iâm on like a hill on a hill on a hill on a hill, but other places can be decently flat
Hey btw @sentient-marshmallow-woman
I had a lil look into one of your attackers, @midnight-soulless-system
They just seem to actively have something against trans people, they way they talk and behave makes it more and more clear the more I read that they just inherently believed trans people are intersexist, the main content they look at about intersexism is all directly related to trans people, it seems they're using intersexism as an excuse to attack trans people
I do not at all believe trans people are inherently intersexist. I do not attack trans people, and please use the correct pronouns for me, it/its. I have never attacked a trans person, I believe I have been fully calm. How have I harmed marshmallow? I have not told her to kill herself, I have specifically told her NOT to hurt herself, and that she is not worthless. If someone is being intersexist, trans or cis, I will call them out for it.
If you want someone to use the correct pronouns for you
You should probably put them somewhere anyone can see it lol, there was zero way for me to know that, so don't you dare try to give me shit over that
Also again, you say you don't attack trans people but literally all of your intersexism posts are talking about trans people, feels kinda weird
And yes you have actively harmed marshmallow, absolutely lol, was that not clear from her explicitly saying that?
Also yeah again that last sentence is great and all but where are all the posts about intersexist cis people? Why is it so disproportionatly about trans people? Like really disproportionatly about trans people?
I'm not giving you shit over my pronouns, just informing you about them.
If you believe that the posts I reblog disproportionately talk about trans people, thn I apologize, but I do not believe that is true. I often go through "cycles" where I will focus on certain issues at one point. Sometimes I focus on transmisogyny, sometimes transandrophobia, and at the moment it is intersexism. Sometimes I focus on ableism against people with physical disabilies, and sometimes it's other things. I reblog a lot so I can see why you think this is disproportionate, but I promise you if you took a decent amount of hours to scroll through my blog (which I don't expect you to do) you would see that it is not disproportionate.
I thoroughly doubt that now that you've pointed out that one lil thing, like it suddenly makes a whole lot more sense
Also why are you calling @sentient-marshmallow-woman out for bigotry but you choose to use a slur in the first couple words of your bio? There is just no reason to use that word to describe that, for everyone who would look at your bio, especially if people might have sensitivities over it
Because, as a trans person, I choose to reclaim that slur. It is an integral part of my identity, same as teh fact that I am a faggot, or a hermaphrodite. If people have sensitivities over it, they can click away. It is not my job to coddle people. Marshmallow uses slurs she cannot reclaim, and that is the difference.
And there IS a reason for me to use the slur to describe myself. I have been fetishized for being trans, I can only really be out to my mother and not the rest of my family, I have been assaulted for being trans. There are so many more reasons.
That's not really even reclamation, you're literally just using it for it's original intended purpose
Also no the only slur she's using applies to her btw, great assupmtions tho
And it's that? Not your active choice to sex out posts attacking trans people for supposedly being intersexist? Kinda feels like it's more to do with the fact that you just don't like perisex trans people
Like I've also been assaulted for being trans, I've also been fetishized for being trans, what the hell does that have to do with literally anything? Why does that change that?
listen up fuckeroos. you two are going to have a civil conversation or I will figure out a way to send nuclear bombs through both your askboxes. understand?
I'm not interested in having a civil conversation now that I know they're just appropriating trans terms and attacking trans people out of some sort of weird spite
