"...a Person Without Sensuality ... The Author Has The Courage To Admit To This Category."

"...a person without sensuality ... the author has the courage to admit to this category."

Emma Trosse, German sexuality researcher, 1897

Teacher, diabetes clinician and sexuality researcher Emma Trosse wrote these words in 1897, becoming one of our earliest examples of someone self-identifying as what we would today call asexual.

We had a great time learning about Emma and so much more a-spec history on our podcast with Luciella Scarlett last week. Check it out!

When I say that transmasculine people, including, obviously, binary trans men, don't hold power over women, there's always ONE fucker who's like "oh yeah ? But what if it's a whit, able-bodied perisex transhet man who's papers are all changed, who cispasses and is totally stealth AND is a manager ??? What then ???"

And I'm like, you CAN'T be in good faith rn. I'm not saying this particular case doesn't exist but be for real, it must be one in a fucking million. And even in this case, the dude is one outing away from having all his privileges taken away from him, which isn't the case for cis white men.

Stop nitpicking. Transmasculine people don't hold power over women. Period. If you want a punching bag, aim at the people who are truly after your ass.

LIKE WHAT DOES THIS MEAN. ITS KILLING ME NOT LISTENING TO IT 😭

A three panel image. Panel 1: Hannibal Burress saying, "Hey Archivist, look at me." Panel 2: Eric Andre turning to look at Hannibal. Panel 3: Hannibal saying, "Forgive me, see me, oh see me please, please… Let me be known again, let my name be on your lips, let my fear shine for you… Yes… oh yes Watcher, see me, see my fear! Take it, take it all, it is yours! I give it to you, I give myself to you, judge me, deride me, abjure me, just please see me. I felt you in my dreaming, felt you twisting it about yourself again… I was so afraid of being noticed, being known, being seen and judged but then, then the dream ended and I- I’ve been alone, so alone, unknown and fading… Send me back! Send me back to my fear, back to the place where I could never hide. Please, please, I need to go back, I need to be seen again!"

perisex people waxing poetic about how anti-trans laws could theoretically affect intersex people is so pointless. they don't have to. what do you think is stopping people from abusing intersex people now? backlash from the general public who thinks it's appropriate to call intersex people hermaphrodites? the laws in the vast majority of countries that don't even consider intersex people a protected class, let alone have made any kind of intersexist abuse illegal?

whatever you think could happen to intersex people is already happening to absolutely no pushback from perisex people. we're medically raped, murdered, castrated, and selectively aborted. we face among if not outright the highest rates of sexual assault, conversion therapy, suicidality and homelessness in the queer community. stop sitting on your ass and waiting for the news of all things to tell you to give a shit. how many intersex people have to die before perisex people think it's important enough to start paying attention?
