Black trans women: hey uhhhhh this space is not safe for me like at all

Black trans men: yeah I agree and it's really not good to me either

Black cis women: oh man don't even get me started, this place is so dangerous for me

Black cis men: for sure, and it feels like it's hunting season for me

Black gnc people: no kidding, and it feels like it's only getting worse

Black nonbinary people: and if people decide to acknowledge I exist (which is rare) it's specifically to hurt me

Black people everywhere: the world is so aggressive towards me, and it just doesn't seem like there's any escape from it, and it would be nice if someone listened to us for once instead of just using us as gotchas and free labour

Nonblack people: hmm. Well that doesn't align with my personal worldview or political opinion, so I'm going to disregard it AND be racist to you about it

You should include intersex people in your activism not bc we prove bio essentialists are wrong but bc we are people who deserve rights 👍

you only need to look at the way being intersex is often referred to by doctors and by TERFs to understand the damage the "sex is biological" rhetoric does

in case you're not familiar, the term I'm referring to specifically is DSD or Disorders of Sex Development

to someone who truly deeply believes that sex is natural, being intersex will always be disordered or defective. they insist on continuing to label us (intersex folk) as "men with DSD" or as "women with DSD" in order to reinforce the sex binary. they will not let intersex people be proof of the truly social nature of sex as a category, because they will not even see us as intersex. delete "sex is biological, gender is social" from your vocabulary. please and thank you

Pride month is upon us! Huzzah! Include intersex people in your pride celebrations! We are so very invisible, even in queer spaces, do what you can to boost intersex voices this pride month!

We love seeing representation & we love seeing our flag alongside the lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, etc flags!

Do not listen to TERFs on issues of intersex terminology, largely speaking, we do NOT like the term DSD.

Try not to use 'AFAB' or 'AMAB' incorrectly. These terms should be used to describe your own personal experiences, not to describe groups of people. Avoid phrases like 'AFAB anatomy' or 'AMAB socialization' when speaking on trans issues, as this excludes intersex experiences & bodies from the conversation. And note, there is no such thing as AIAB! Intersex people are always forced to be either male or female, often with surgery and harmful medicalization, this is a form of intersexist violence.

Use the word perisex (or endosex/dyadic) when you speak about people who are not intersex! The same way you use the word cisgender to speak about people who are not trans. It's important in denoting that intersex people are normal, just different.

“no one is saying sex isn’t real, we’re saying gender isn’t real!”

me. i’m saying sex isn’t real. sex isn’t real and we failed in our goals the moment we stopped acknowledging that

no more commentary on the south from people who have only ever lived in california or new york or washington or vermont or where the fuck ever up and over there. Society has progressed past the need for this
