BEGGING PEOPLE TO DO MY SURVEY FOR MY LINGUISTICS CLASS

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.

Starting a diary series! I'm starting today hope I stick with it lol

There will not be much of my own art on this blog unless it specifically relates to my transition journey. Which is what this one is. It is my current daily mantra and what I tell myself every day on the calendar I cross off as each sleep brings me closer to meeting the folks that will give me some of these scars. Which is why I put in multiple examples in different colors. Because I will die scarred, not scared.

How are these lyrics about FNAF 4 relatable to (my) current trans experience????

[Start ID: Lyrics for the song “I’ve got no time” by the living tombstone. The lyrics go “I have this urge, I have this urge to kill. I have this urge to kill to show that I’m alive; I’m get sick of these apologies from people with priorities, that their live matters so much more than mine. But I’m stuttering, I’m stuttering again, no one will listen and no one will understand. Because I’m crying as much as I speak cuz no one likes me when I shriek, want to go back to where it all began.” /End ID]

Happy pride, my dudes! Felt like making a tradition of doing a redraw of last the year’s redraw! Good way of seeing improvement and getting back into the swing of things, methinks (I’m also counting this as birthday art sorta but totally not because I completely forgot when his birthday was hahaha shhh)

Kirby is such a trans icon. High voice. Squishy and round. Covered in pink. Sweet and adorable. And yet no one questions his gender. No one argues that Kirby is actually just a confirmed girl. No one complains that he isn’t manly enough to use he/him pronouns.

Teach me your ways oh beautiful spherical idol of mine 💖💖💖
