This is intermisogyny

Documenting the intersection of intersexism and misogyny OP uses they/them and is an adult

[thisis-intermisogyny]

Intermisogyny is the intersection of intersexism and misogyny. This includes discrimination against intersex people who are fem-aligned, intersex women and adjacent identities. It also covers discrimination that is misdirected or is built on the foundation of misogyny and intersexism, wether directed against a woman or based on the foundations of those forms of bigotry.

💜 Examples of intermisogyny:

Degendering and misgendering intersex women on the basis of them being intersex

Dismissing either an intersex trans woman’s experiences as a trans woman or as an intersex woman

Using AGAB and perisex frameworks of gender to deny an intersex person transfemininity

Harm against intersex women and fems for not fitting a pericis standard of womanhood

Sexualising hyperestrogenism

Demonising hyperandrogenism in relation to people expected to be or are women

Systemic medical misogyny causing a significant lack of research into anatomical variations of vulvas, uterus and ovaries

Systemic medical transmisogyny that discourages intersex transfems from transitioning or tries to weaponise their intersex variation against their gender identity

Demonisation of hirsutism, acne, high muscle mass, androgenic fat distribution, clitoromegaly, labioscrotum or ovotestes in intersex women

Forcing intersex women on hormonal treatment to align to a binary sex

💜 Rules for submission:

If you want to submit an example of intermisogyny, please refrain from name-dropping

Do not assume that intermisogyny = only intersexism that effects cis women. Everyone suffers from intermisogyny to some degree and anyone can perpetrate it

Censor any slurs

Chronically online people: Intersex women are never excluded from womanhood!

TERFs:

[this-is-antitransfeminity]

they said a lot of other shit about trans and non binary people but honestly it was too bad to screenshot. i clicked on their profile and this was the pinned post.

Sigh. This is anti transfeminitiy.

TERFism, radfeminism, all this is harmful to trans people of all types.

There is science behind being transgender. It is not a rigid sex based phenomenon.

[thisis-intermisogyny]

Interesting to note that TERFism does not differentiate between intersex and trans women, it just declares anyone who doesn't fit the binary sex of "female" to not be real women.

[this-is-antitransfeminity]

Transmisogyny is believing that trans women and fems have to "earn" womanhood and feminity.

Actually, you don't. You don't earn gender like it's a trophy rewarded after a multitude of feats. You just have it. You get it when you realize that you want to be fem.

TERFs try and use this ideal to block trans people from feminity. If womanhood and feminity is something to be earned, they can bar it behind getting a period or giving birth. (Which, stupidly excludes perisex cis women. And includes some intersex trans women. Oh no, the horror/heavy sarcasm)

But we all know that isn't true. And if you didn't, just know that science has our back.

You don't have to do a single thing to earn your gender. It's just yours and it belongs to you, no hurdles to cross whatsoever.

Welcome Back to This is Anti Transfeminity!

Please read this post that @thisis-aphobia posted for me for the context of the original blog's deactivatation. I'm back, and ready to defeat transphobia once more.

Anti transphobia blogs similar to mine: @this-is-anti-masculinity @this-is-multigenderphobia @thisis-intersexism and @thisisexorsexism. Go give them some love!

Who Runs This Blog?

Just me, Tilly. I am agender transfemmasc and go by she/he/they/it.

I will be opening submissions for a second (or third) mod sometime in the near future. If you are interested, please stay tuned!

What is Anti Transfeminity?

Anti transfeminitiy* is the disallowance and gatekeeping barring transfeminized** individuals from womanhood and/or femininity. This includes but is not limited to bigotry, malgendering, and the push to conform to the white pericis standard of Woman.

*This term may have already existed before I decided to use it. If it has a pre existing meaning separate to mine, all I can say is oops.

** I also except asks from women or fems who aren't trans, but if you want something more specific to you, check out these blogs; @thisis-misogyny @thisis-intermisogyny @this-is-anti-femininity I am always on the watch for other blogs! If you know one who would fit here, please lmk :D

Made as an alternate term to transgynephobia, as the coiner of that term is not a person I want to associate with.

What is This Blog Against?

This blog will not tolerate any form of bigotry. Xenophobia, racism, anti Blackness, transphobia of any sort, zionism, intersexism, and any other -isms and -phobias will not be tolerated here. Disrespectfully leave, and don't come back.

This blog is not radfem or radqueer safe. Genuinely fuck off.

This blog isn't safe for tme/tma users or anyone who enforces AG/SAB langauge. Gender, sex, and societal perception are way more complicated than a binary could ever explain.

“You’re just an afab with PMOS”

I am going to need you all to start respecting people with PMOS (formerly PCOS) right now.

This is a diagnosis that has been forced into the binary category of a “girly girl afab female uterus boob haver” condition and you are taking the bait hook line and sinker.

Many times PMOS is diagnosed to hide other conditions and variations. It is seen as “less distressing”. Ovotestes, chromosome variation, hormonal profile, all explained away as a more “acceptable” condition to have.

Leaning into the cissexist and intersexist way PMOS id talked about tells me that you don’t see peoppe with PMOS as anything other than a chubby white cis binary woman with chin hair and acne.

Trans women, trans men, transmascs, transfems, non binary people, etc. can all get PMOS.

Unlearn your bias.

[thisis-intermisogyny]

Hey, so this just isn’t true and would only be true if you consider intersex people to all fall under an acceptable binary

Intersex cis women still may have an M on their birth cert, or have it changed back to M after it was changed to F.

Intersex cis women still face discrimination in womens spaces, and papers or some form of proof will not change the targeting they receive.

Intersex cis women can still have many traits considered male by society even down to chromosomes that deny them basic rights and protection

Even then, categorising intersex people in general between the binary of cis and trans fully knowing it’s more complicated creates a rift between intersex women and fems that does not need to be there. An intersex trans or cis woman may be denied even that label due to intersexism and binarism.

This is intermisogyny

[vinterfeminism]

At some point perisex TRFs have to understand why intersex transfems feel unsafe around them and why they actively do not want to align themselves with them. With a group so focused on binaries and agab, why would any self-respecting intersex person agree with them?

[thisis-intermisogyny]

It's intermisogyny how ASAB is being used to say that transfems and trans women aren't allowed to be transfem and trans women all because of reclaiming AFAB as part of gender.

Like the people who think this way of saying who can and can't be transfems and trans women should just admit supporting the ASAB framework that uses IGM and CIMI to be upheld. Cause that's what happening

This is intermisogyny and intertransmisogyny

ASAB was coined/reclaimed by intersex people and have every right to reclaim the often coercive and violent assignment forced on them

[thisis-intermisogyny]

is it intermisogyny when people laugh at or consider someone lucky for having no breasts or very small breasts?

i don't consider mine breasts anymore rather pecs for gender reasons but because of my intersex variants, mine have stayed small which i consider good for me because it means i don't have to bind or wear a bra and just wear a tank top if need be.

but i've seen and heard online so many small breasts jokes and they've always generally made me uncomfortable.

and i've had the lucky comment thrown my way since i don't have to bind or wear a bra, but that was after the comment that i said i can't physically do so due to my spine issues and now my knowledge it likely happened due to being intersex has made me further uncomfortable.

This is intermisogyny (and a bit of ableism sprinkled at the end)

[thisis-intermisogyny]

anyone who believes in "penis privilege" is automatically transphobic, intersexist, and just a terf in general. having a penis doesnt make you magically privileged and in fact women who have penises are treated horribly in society

This is intermisogyny and transmisogyny

“Penis privilege” is bullshit

[thisis-intermisogyny]

Intersex women often have to routinely fight for their right to be a woman regardless of what they were assigned at birth, how they were raised or what they look like.

Miss America has just barred intersex people and trans women from participating... only select intersex people who've had surgery to 'correct their genitals', are chromosomally XX etc can participate—what the fuck is this shit 😭😭 I mean, it doesn't get more contemptible & ludicrous.

Miss America clarifies contestants must be ‘naturally born female’ after gender flap

The Miss America organization emphasized that entrants must be female to compete in the nation’s most famous pageant, updating its eligibili

I don't see the part of the competition's title that says 'Miss America.......'s Genitals!'

[thisis-intersexism]

it's intersexism how anytime there's a healthcare ban or the olympics shit that targets queer people that intersex people as a whole are considered collateral. or the similar people who are being intersexist using cimi or igm WHICH IS CONTINUING TO BEING PERMITTED BOTH UNDER THE BANS AND WITHOUT THE BANS [pt which is continuing to being permitted both under the bans and without the bans pt] to be considered as cis people getting hormones or bottom surgery.

we're harassed for our genders. we're harassed for our sexualities. and everytime we're called collateral, it's a reminder that some people just don't consider us part of the community.

we are not collateral. we are part of the queer community. if anybody can't take hearing that, change your heart or live the rest of your life with the weight of the members of your community you found not worthy or collateral enough to save.

This is intersexism.

I have seen swaths of peritrans people saying that they HOPE “cis women with dsd’s” have to go through these invasive tests and get banned alongside trans people being affected by these bans because somehow its intersex women’s fault that these laws are being implemented and we’ll “finally understand how transphobia feels”

Hey pals. Intersex women, cis or trans, are targets too. Why do you think they’re doing karyotyping tests? Wouldn’t it be enough to get medical records of medical transition? Why are we checking the chromosomes of these players to see if they’re “biological females” if intersex people are just “collateral”? It’s almost as if there’s been a history of intersex women being barred from these sports or forced to undergo IGM and CIMI in order to play (which often led to life long health issues, such as hormone deficiencies because they were forced to get their testes/ovaries removed)

Intersex women aren’t the fault of these bans. We aren’t collateral. We are all targets.

[wtchgrrl]

I’m really sorry you’ve been getting so much anon hate related to being intersex. It’s remarkable how many assholes there are on here.

I do have a question regarding your tags on a post you reblogged! I didn’t know that terms like “girldick” were originally intersex terms that the trans community coopted. Do you have any resources (I already skimmed the ones in your pinned post but maybe I missed something) on what terms are originally intersex and/or intersex exclusive?

- a perisex trans person that wants to do better so intersex people can exist in fucking peace

oh i wasn’t claiming that girldick is an intersex term, sorry for the confusion. i was just upset because many intersex women like the term but can’t use it publicly because many perisex trans people will accuse them of “cultural appropriation.” i would know because i’m one of them lmao.

the only terms i can think of that are intersex exclusive are medical terms like clitoromegaly and micropenis, and even then, they’re not exactly exclusive anymore since so many perisex trans people have started using them. I’ve seen perisex trans men use both of those terms and they’re not really welcoming to possible alternatives. i know status-quo-hater had coined some terms, but i don’t remember all of them :/ i know there was ambi (general ambiguous genitalia), lepthole (small/narrow vaginal opening), dicklit (clitorophallus, some perisex trans mascs have already started using it tho), and a couple of others. i’ll link to it when i can find it.

i think it’s important to note that there’s honestly no such thing as an intersex-exclusive term. everything we make can and will be molded to fit perisex people and their experiences. did you know that androgyne was originally a term for intersex people?

[thisis-intersexism]

the entire way i was raised. being msn autistic and intersex and not knowing either of those until my teen years. being a failure of a girl but not allowed to be anything else so i just keep trying and trying to be a better girl but i was never meant to fit that standard. my body being subjected to bullying from my family and 'friends'. too much hair, too many scars and acne, too masculine in every aspect, nose and feet and shoulders are just like my dads. only reason i was seen as female was becayse i have long hair and girls still were scared of me in girls washroom when i wore a hoodie. even now as i identify as transfem most in the community hate me. i see a funny transfem meme and i have to think does the person who made it accept me in community or intend the meme for people like me. i like a persons post and check their blog and all their bio reads is tma theyfabs dni. even in real life im scared to bring up my experiences to anyone but my one friend. this is a very good blog for people like me and im glad its here. thank you for running this.

this is intermisogyny.

I'm glad you're here anon 🫂 this blog is made for you, you're welcome.

[thisis-intermisogyny]

intermisogyny is me talking about how i couldnt develop breasts at puberty because of my condition and me experiencing bullying for it, just to have people say "wow i wish that was me" and call me 'lucky' for not having breasts and the 'issues' of it

yeah i understand the desire for having a flat chest, i personally like mine but dont you think its shitty to tell people that when theyre talking about the bad stuff they went through over it. its not about you. just because you want a flat chest doesnt mean you just can call people who have flat chests 'lucky'. why do people have to make everything about themselves

This is intermisogyny
