on wikipedia straight up "learning it". and by "learning it" i mean, lets just say.. information
I have been thinking the last several days about the horror of being mutilated as a intersex baby, or an intersex teen/kid. I'm perisex, and over the last few years (mostly in the last year) are the only times I've heard about intersex people.
How can this happen to so many people?? How has this gone under the radar?? It's a human rights abuse, and nobody is doing anything about it. Sometimes I can be naïve, but I would hope that the world isn't this cruel.
I have a lot to learn about a lot of things, but I hope to learn as much as I can.
Sorry if this sounds stupid
people really fail to see the physical violence behind the hyperinvisibility of intersex people.
we are erased in legislation and society broadly but we are also victims of an extermination campaign.
our invisibility doesn't come from people just failing to recognize us it comes from the fact that we are mutilated at birth and if we are not mutilated at birth we are mutilated at puberty. people without variations that can be changed by surgery are put on hormones against their will. it is rare to find an intersex person who hasn't experienced medical violence!
so many intersex people don't even know that they, themselves are intersex! some people have their intersex variation hidden from them, being outright lied to by parents and doctors about their own body. other people are never given the word intersex, they are told they have a DSD (disorder of sexual development), that they have a medical problem. almost no intersex person is told that they are intersex by a doctor.
our lack of visibility is written in literal blood. so when someone tries to say "well, intersex people don't have it that bad, no one is thinking about them" they're saying that all this "isn't so bad" that an effective extermination campaign "isn't that bad" because they can't see it happening.
I'm autistic, mentally ill and take SSRI's. I may be fucked I fear.
I hate RFK with my whole soul, and my grandparents still love the guy and the rest of trump's goons.
Hmmm. I wake up to hear RFK suggesting we ban all SSRI mental health medications and send the mentally ill, autistic, asthmatic, and obese people to government run “Wellness Camps” for 3-4 years each.
Huh…. So he wants to “concentrate” the population of sick people in camps where they will work in the outdoors.
Because that fixes autism? All because he believes, with no scientific basis, that these conditions are caused by vaccines. Since President Musk says he has autism I wonder if he will be in a camp, too?
How long will it take to come up with a final solution to that problem…
being trans is so hard but i love it so much but waking up everyday is hard
Daily reminder that when you demonize trans men who fit the cavetown, fluffy-hair, skinny boy, alt stereotype, its still trans erasure. Good intentions or not, when you try to make another group of trans people irrelevant and invisible, it's still hurting the community.
Stop going after your own community, trans people AS A WHOLE get enough shit from cis people we don't need trans people going after other trans people. We're on the same side here remember that.
A meme I made, inspired by a Nyazsche comic
[/ID a comic where Donald Trump points to someone with a shirt that says "random trans person", and he says "You are an enemy of the state. I am actually going to murder you." The random trans person in return says "my brother in Christ, I am literally just a person,,," Comic inspired by a Nyazche comic about two cats. The cat with the propeller hat says "do you like my silly hat?" And the other cat replies "you are an enemy of Christ." The caption above says "this is what being a trans person feels like". /END ID]
Thinking about buying myself a binder… but how would I hide the purchase? Idk it makes me anxious. Still living with my grandparents.
