couldn’t stop thinking about this post

gotta lie down every time I remember this recording and the post about it

babe are you okay i saw you were reblogging “No Children (live at the bottom of the hill)” again?

All shall be well someday

Adult realization: you will make mistakes, you will act irrationally. You will commit some wrongs that cannot be fully righted. People will dislike you and misunderstand you for all sorts of reasons. None of these make you a bad person. All you can do is try your best to be kind and just to people, grow and learn.

in addition: Trying to avoid ever doing these things will cost you in ways you cannot comprehend until you stop and accept this.

youve heard of "hrt should be free for everyone who wants it" now get ready for chromosome testing & ultrasounds should be free for everyone who wants it

this post is about intersex people

#for a second i was confused#“why would op put such a huge flag and text”#“its clear the post is about intersex peoooo-”#and then i saw the tags derailing...#people on this site can be so dense...#intersex care should be an universal right#free and easily available

At this point I'm not sure if they're just being dense or willfully erasing us as usual. Possibly a mix of that. It's really hard to tell until you get their personal opinions on what intersex even is tbh

Anyways I support this very much, especially since our variations can mean needing significant adjustments in healthcare.

BUT. It has to be properly confidential and safeguarded or it'll just be abused and used as a way to track us like they're doing with those "ancestry kits".....

I hope there are even more trans men in 2026

MORE!!! MORE!!! MOOOORREEEEEE!!!!!

well, what i was getting at was really more like you should get out of the house more, socialize, meet people, these are all proven ways to deal with depression, try to distract yourself with fun activities, i get this is what you work as but there is a difference between performing and watching someone else perform, my point is, surely there are other clowns in town mr pagliacci

honestly the impact of frustration is seriously underestimated. like as an emotion i think it's not seen as intense as anger or despair or even joy or excitement. and yet being frustrated is the quickest route to meltdown. for me at least. there's something about how it's just got nowhere to go that makes it so overwhelming and unpleasant. and it gives you just contradictory responses to the situation can do you keep trying, do you get angry, do you cry and get upset do you throw up like what

My teachers called frustration "a mild term for anger and helplessness combined." Those are not minor feelings on their own, I'm not sure why people speak as though they soften each other when it's more of a coke and mentos situation.

The idea that Testosterone is a “more powerful” hormone than Estrogen is just blatant sexism btw.

Okay so this is why understanding the intersection of misogyny and transmasculinity is important, because this is how people talk about trans men on T:

theres some relation between trans women who hate trans men and misogyny. you have to see how describing all trans men as sensitive and irrational and manipulative is directly caused by being a misogynist. transitioning did not cure you of being a misogynist and it's still misogyny if it's directed at trans men because it is based in misogynistic beliefs that you aren't addressing.

you are not immune to misogyny.

you are not immune to patriarchy.

you are not immune to manipulation via fear and hate.

nobody is. not a single one of any gender. you have to stay aware and adaptive to stay aligned with your values.

say, does your ideology requires othering and dehumanization? delegitimization? double standards? censorship?

do think your identity excuses and permits using the harming others with oppressive tools because clearly, you're the good guy this time?

you know it intimately, then:

you are not immune to propaganda.

you've already lost.

it happened. now you can fix it.

you know better. do better.

People who make fun of trans men who want to look like twink anime boys and act like the idea of being able to present cute and fem while on t is impossible are actually so funny to me. Like do you genuinely believe there's no fem cis men out there?? Do you think twinks are solely yaoi fiction tropes 😭😭.. like Im going to hold your hand when I say this.. twinks exist in real life

i think people should be nicer to schizophrenics

I DON’T KNOW WHAT I’M DOING!!!

A very large chunk of intersex women and girls aren’t allowed to be pro athletes in track or running anymore and I wish more people were talking about it or hell, even just knew about it. I wish there was more of an outcry. I wish people cared more about defending intersex people in sport because why does it seemingly only fall on intersex athletes themselves to fight this shit at great cost to their privacy and safety.

I hope World Athletics rots in hell.

Hey. Stop fucking talking about our oppression like this. It erases us and contributes to our marginalization. Intersex people are not collateral damage or side targets. The oppression we face is not misdirected and meant for someone else. We are targets. There’s a reason gender affirming care bans carve out specific exceptions for intersex people. There’s a reason they are sex testing the way they are, because these regulations are largely specifically directed at intersex women. Intersex people are not unfortunate misdirected targets in their crusade against trans rights, we are targeted too. They hate us too.

It’s one thing to talk about the commonalities of the oppression faced by both trans and intersex women. It’s one thing to find solidarity and talk about the ways intersexism and transphobia and transmisogyny work together and overlap. That is good and contributes to a more complete understanding of all of these forms of oppression. To be clear, I do not and will never have an issue with solidarity and genuine discussion between two marginalized groups with similar goals and significant overlap. Trans people and intersex people should always stand together.

This is not that. This is erasing intersex people from the oppression we face for being intersex. Please understand that we are not hated out of perceived proximity to trans women. We are hated because society is violently intersexist and hates intersex people in our own right.

I need you to understand that this is happening not just because of the current horrific levels of anti-trans rhetoric and policy, but also because intersex women (and a women that may not even be intersex but is simply speculated to be by mobs online because she dared to be good at boxing and beat a white woman while not being white and not being ‘feminine’ enough for societal standards), especially Black and brown intersex women, dared to succeed and be good at sports and that was unacceptable to a deeply intersexist society. The horrific levels of hatred and discrimination that Caster Semenya, for instance, has been subjected to were not just a byproduct of transphobia, it is rooted in racism and misogyny and intersexism.

Is it intertwined with transphobia and do transphobia and intersexism intertwine and support each other? Yes! But I also need people to call it for what it is (intersexism/anti-intersex bigotry) and center intersex people in the oppression we face.

Let me repeat that again: when we talk about the discrimination faced by intersex people, perisex people, and even people in general, including intersex people, need to center intersex people. Because we’re not going to fight intersexism if we refuse to recognize it for what it is.

Like idk it feels like some of you can’t conceptualize that intersex people are a marginalized and oppressed group on our own and that our oppression isn’t just piggybacking off of the oppression of other marginalized groups sometimes. And that sucks.

Shocker that not everything is about trans women — it affects INTERSEX women, and no, the intersex community isn’t piggybacking off of them.

I was denied to play for my track team because of my higher testosterone. Genuinely I cannot stand people who only push the idea that it’s just trans women who are the only victims of this. Pisses me the fuck off.

There's such a lack of education when it comes to testosterone in trans spaces because I'm tired of seeing people call testosterone 'stand alone' hrt in comparison to estrogen/progesterone.

A lot of people on testosterone will go on estrogen, that is completely normal and this helps avoid menopause and improves your sexual health. Not only do I never see people talk about this but to see people actively spreading misinformation or gendering hrt in a way that makes trans people on t with menopausal symptoms be put off from the care they need, is bad! If you're on t and struggling with period cramps/spottiness, extremely fluctuating mood, hot flushes, etc please talk to your doctor! Having stable hormone levels is good for you and your health and taking estrogen is completely normal for a lot of people on t
