Feeling super dysphoric

#I’m thinking about Hebrew high when I was grouped with the boys for a day and we talked about circumsicioun #but I’m intersex and was afab #I dont have a dick #which led me to thinking about drivers Ed this week #one kid kept saying that I was a dude #IM NOT #like I’m masc and often look like a guy #but I’m not #I’m genderqueer #I take pride in that #I also take pride in being afab #I’m no world am I a guy #and I don’t want to be viewed like that #I think just walking on the street people think I’m a guy #my classmates think I’m a transman #my family think I’m an intersex girl #my close friends think I’m non-binary and afab #I feel like my gender and sex is too complex #I’m intersex #afab #genderqueer #and can appear very masc or very fem #I think if I tried to look androgynous people might start to see me for me #doesn’t help that I keep my orientation simple #I’m just queer #but I’ve only had masc partners #I think today I’m going to go unbinded #and dress fem #see if I can be seen as a girl

Found this on Facebook the other day and thought I’d share:

[ID: A friendly reminder that you don’t need to fully understand the nuances of gender identity to know that each individual person knows who they are better than you ever will.]

It’s too bad the Hamatos can’t go almost anywhere in the Hidden City without getting banned from a place or committing a crime or being blamed for a crime and then banned from a place because the Hidden City must contain a treasure trove of basic items that would help their specific mutations. I like to imagine that they sometimes do manage to go a day without too much incident to get some of these items.

Like, special lotions for Yokai scales, brushes made especially for shelled humanoids, clothing made to fit their forms better, etc, etc. Even Splinter could probably find a lot of stuff for like fur and teeth care that’s hard to find above ground.

They’d gotten by more than well on their own, but there’s a certain luxury to be had for specially made stuff infused with all sorts of healing mystic properties as well. Imagine they all had aches and pains they’d just dealt with for years only to realize that oh wait…I don’t have to feel like this all the time?

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt headcanons #like Donnie getting special oil for his softshell that’s not too greasy and easy to rub on the sandpaper-y surface #or Mikey getting salts specially made to make going into his shell even easier #or Raph getting clothing that lets his spikes breathe without ripping holes into the fabric #or them getting a better understanding of their bodies by being around places with that info available #(and because I have no restraint this could so totally end in a surprise trans/intersex Leo all along reveal lol)#listen I’m just saying there’s a lot of possibilities here #imagine Splinter finding some fabrics for both he and his sons that feels better on them so he lovingly makes some clothes for them #like when they were babies

I saw a post with a lot of notes and it pissed me off so I’m making a better one

Cis women should be allowed to wear packers if they want to and they’re still women. Cis men should be allowed to wear breast forms if they want and they’re still men. This would absolutely increase the safety and mainstream acceptability of pre- or no-op trans people and also cis people should be able to play with gender without it making them trans. Not everyone falls on the gender binary, and nonbinary people should be able to do whatever they want forever without being shoved into the boxes of “transfem egg” or “transmasc egg” especially not by other trans people

Let’s support EVERYONE’S ability to play with gender without telling them that being feminine makes them a woman inherently, I thought we were past that gender essentialism but it’s coming back and y’all need to stop it. It’s not quirky, it’s not fun, it’s reactionary and hurting real life trans people. Clothes are clothes, secondary sex characteristics are secondary sex characteristics, the gender and sex binaries are made up and nothing is inherent. Have fun forever and stop putting people in boxes

We’ll never break free of gender roles and stereotypes if even the queer community is taking them as inherent to human nature. Femininity doesn’t mean “good” and masculinity doesn’t mean “bad” or “predatory” and if you think that you should get that radfem brainrot taken care of, trust me it makes life a lot better

it’s telling that the only people who have ever told me that turner’s syndrome isn’t really intersex are terfs. every single trans-positive intersex person I have encountered - which are most intersex folk, in my experience- have told me “heck yeah that’s intersex!”

#I had an experience on twitter #which involved terf bs unsuprisingly.#I’m going to make it a rule in 2024 to never discuss intersex stuff with them ever atp.#intersex #anti terf

i like polls

five separate, unrelated times in a row, i was talking about being attracted to a man and someone i had never talked to overheard and said “i thought you were a lesbian?????”

edit: btw the coming out part isn’t the important thing!! it’s just people assuming you’re queer without explicitly previously being confirmed

For the record, since I post about intersex inclusion every now and then: I’m not intersex myself, I just find it deeply disturbing how readily people will ignore or erase their existence, and deny them a platform to speak in the queer community. I find it deeply disturbing that people will claim to be very much so down for non-standard bodies, and post positivity post after positivity post talking about the validity and beauty of non-standard bodies, but only ever be speaking of perisex, often binary trans bodies post/during-medical transition.

Intersex people practically don’t exist outside of specifically intersex circles. Discussions that are in plain words about them or inclusive of them specifically leave them out by only ever attributing gender/sex deviation in the body to the standard reaction to hormones, or the perisex binary trans body post-surgery. There’s never acknowledgment that this variation can happen prior to birth, only ever as an act of transition.

Earth “ponies” go first! MASSIVE autism dump comin’ atcha live

TW: ableism , grief , parental death (just in case the tags failed)

This is more so for me but I still wanted to share 🫶

Sandstone (Pinkie):

- b i g puppy energy

- Built for work but prefers to play

- Has crystal pony genes but depression makes them subdued. Can only go full crystal mode in a moment of pure and raw jubilation.

- after constantly being told who she’s supposed to be, they rejected the idea of labels entirely

- no labels for gender or sexuality means loving Pinkie does not impact your sexuality score!

- (intersex is not about gender but biological sex. That being said many intersex people use intergender as their gender as it relates to their experience as an intersex person.)

- deals with internalized ableism due to conservative fillyhood environment. Feels bad when they need to ask for help/support. Got herself an unofficial certificate in psychology so he can be his own therapist (it doesn’t work out)

- Parents would totally support the pony version of Autism Speaks just saying. Pinkie’s dad thinks neurodivergency is curable with hard work and the right attitude whilst her mom mourns the loss of her son after the diagnosis.

- ADHD makes xeir rejection sensitivity off the charts

- Internal battery runs on the company of others so can’t ever live alone.

- Had problems with food insecurity

- Relies on sugar as a steady supply of dopamine

- Can have moments of poor motor control. Clumsy

- Eyesight is bad but doesn’t wear glasses. Afraid that ponies will start thinking he is smart and they will expect even more from him. (In human world she wears contacts)

- Feels embarrassed being high support needs and just wants to be treated like everybody else. Hates when xer parents call her “special”

- Also hates being infantilized but is not confident in their decision making

- Xe is a sensory seeker unlike the rest of their family who are all sensory avoiders. Sisters compromise and try to meet his needs. Pinkie in turn tries to be mindful of their touch aversion but finds it hard sometimes. “Everypony’s just so scoop-able!”

- Trained Gummy to “stay”. Is very proud of his emotional support gator

Applejack:

- Is incredibly strong for her size

- feels like she has to constantly prove herself worthy of taking over the farm. Has gotten into arguments with Big Mac about overexerting herself

- Is a hinny (donkey mom and stallion dad) (ofc hinnies are supposed to have tails more like horse but I love the lion tail on AJ so 💁‍♀️) (I said mule in ALT text because most people don’t know what a hinny is)

- Because of this, she is more calm under pressure and thinks more logically

- has major depression from grief and ptsd (duh)

- Isn’t used to being in a stress free environment so she creates the stress

- Likes running the apple stand but certain families trigger her

- Obsessed with anything from the past generation. A time when her parents were young and happy

- Can be a bit insensitive to other’s problems and wants them to “put on their big girl pants” like she had to.

- Feels like she has to fill in the roles her parents used to do. Especially so Applebloom and Granny don’t have to stress over as many things.

- Was in the process of cutting her mane when she remembered that AB liked to braid it so she stopped half way.

- Is the mom of the friend group. Makes sure everyone’s needs are met before tending to her own. (Which is bad btw)

- Has problems with insomnia but getting better.

- Struggles with OCD and will repeat unnecessary tasks if she believes it will help protect her family

- Has an emotional support dog named Winona who also reminds AJ to take breaks 🐕‍🦺

- Sees no point in getting her chronic pain checked out. Will hopefully change her mind in the future. Wears leg braces to ease the soreness.

- Got diagnosed later on. Grief masked her autistic traits.

- Also has a hard time asking for help but has gotten better after she found out that Applebloom has been internalizing that mindset. She must lead by example

- Stick around long enough and she’ll happily invite you over with a hot cup of cider 🍺

- (Other people tend to fall in love while getting to know someone. Demiromantics however need to get to know the person first and then develop romantic feelings later)

- Thought she wasn’t capable of developing crushes until she got to know Coloratura.

Look at me.

It is a good thing that huge soulless companies are doing Pride. Yes they suck. Yes they’re just in it for the money. But “normal is yesterday and last week and last month taken together” (gnu the wonderful Terry Pratchett). We need Pride everywhere. We need Pride to be attractive and ubiquitous to companies and corporations and schools and governments and kids and parents and literally everyone. That’s how we move the bar. That’s how we spread the word that love is love and queerphobia is culturally unacceptable in our countries and then abroad because Pride is a beautiful celebration amongst us but it also has to be a huge protest and education for those outside. We won’t convince everyone but it’ll hurt them more to speak out and spread their hate. And that means less harm to us now and fewer kids growing up with this shit all around them. That’s how we move the needle.

Support small, indy, queer companies for Pride but please don’t discourage shitty conglomerates from barely making an effort because it might just be a sign in the window but it’s one more sign in one more window and we need them everywhere.

#Pride #queer stuff #lgbtq #lgbtq community #gnu terry pratchett #gay #lesbian #bisexual #pansexual #asexual #aromantic #aroace #intersex #trans #enby #gnc #poly #queer #if I’ve forgotten anyone I’m very sorry!

in many cultures, androgyny appears a lot in most benevolent deities, so i incorporate both feminine and masculine features with pure vanilla. depicting him as a divine being is something i like doing considering his character origins are very religious. and while he’s mostly inspired by Christianity, having his androgyny inspired by other mythology and religion is a major part in my depiction of him, not just a stylistic choice, and i think it really adds to his character in general

#does this make sense i’m dyin here #he’s just a he/him agender intersex girl to me….#art #fanart #cookie run #cookie run kingdom #pure vanilla cookie #cookie run headcanons

I'm not gonna lie Nick, I've been following you for a long time and I almost always agree with what you say so this isn't in any way meant to be polemic or hostile and you don't have to answer if you don't want to. But, as a trans person myself, I don't understand how genital preference can be transphobic? I mean, the way people declare it can be transphobic, or the reason for it - but preference itself? isn't it, for most people at least, an intrinsic thing? Again I'm not asking this to bait you into discourse or anything I just. Genuinely trust your judgment on things. that's all, love <3

If you don’t want to sleep with someone because they’re, for example, fat, or disabled, or intersex, or have some other physical characteristic that would alter a sexual encounter in a way you wouldn’t expect with a “default” or “normal” body - is that not on some level bigoted? If you tried to sleep with a cis guy but found out he had a micro penis and decided against sleeping with him, or you tried to hook up with a cis woman with large labia and got turned off, is that “just an intrinsic preference”?

Yes people have preferences and preferences do not carry inherent moral judgement. But it’s worth asking: where do my preferences come from? if you meet a trans person, and you are attracted to them, and the only reason you don’t want to sleep with them is because you don’t want to interact with their genitals, because you believe a trans person’s genitals are universally unattractive, then like, why lol? “Transphobic” is a flat descriptor for bigoted beliefs or assumptions about trans people, and in the pantheon of transphobic things to believe or say or do, that’s not like super high on the list. I don’t think you’re an irredeemably bad person or whatever. You are also not doing activism by having sex with people you’re not attracted to or don’t want to have sex with, I’m not suggesting anyone do that because that would be bad for everyone involved. But attraction is socially mediated and explored - fetishes, kinks, turn-ons and turn offs can have embedded social values in them, some of them good and some of them not - and if your only hang-up with fucking a trans person is because they have “incorrect” or “incongruous” genitals to what you normally expect, then I think that’s a shitty hang-up to have. Is it “intrinsic” to find a trans person’s body a turn off? Are we intrinsically programmed as human beings to find transgender people’s genitals unsexy? I think any appeals to intrinsic nature quickly get into essentialistic territory, because whatever is intrinsic or “human nature” is necessarily outside of the social, incapable of change, and I don’t think it does any good to insist that the domain of sexual preferences exists outside of the social and political realms.

Yes sex will be different with a trans person who hasn’t had full bottom surgery than it would be with a cis person, and yes you will need to have conversations about what feels good or look shit up online (which you would do with a cis partner anyway!), but unless you’re solely interested in like, missionary reproductive PIV cishet sex catholic style for the rest of your life, I think it’s worth interrogating why trans genitals are a hard no for someone, especially when “genital preference” is such a handy shorthand for cis people to articulate their deep seated rage, disgust, and fear of trans people in a “polite” or inoffensive way - and, often, in a violent way, and that violence is rationalised on the basis of the “common sense” belief that trans people trick cis people into having sex with us despite our “bad” genitals.

I don’t want to have sex with anybody who thinks my body is disgusting and I’m assuming most people don’t want that either lol. But a lot of cis people find my body disgusting because it’s a trans body, and a huge part of that disgust is because I don’t have a dick - worse, I have a “mutilated” “grotesque” version of “female anatomy” because of T. None of those evaluations of a tran’s guys genitals are intrinsic, nor do they exist outside of social values about what “normal” or “beautiful” bodies look like.

And again to use the fat example, it took a lot of personal work for me to properly admire fat people because of how ingrained fatphobia is, and part of that fatphobia was directed towards myself - it took years for me to find myself even remotely attractive, especially as I progressively gained weight into adulthood. And that is not for “activist” reasons, it’s not activism to find fat people hot - but I am consciously working through some of the shit society tells you is gross or bad about human bodies and it’s made my life better lol, and as a consequence I can fully allow myself to admire other fat people. I think any state of mind that allows you to find beauty in more places, find pleasure in a wider range of human forms, is generally a good thing. I once dated a guy who hated his nipples being touched because he thought it was gay to enjoy that, and like, sex with him sucked lmfao. he was incredibly homophobic and that homophobia directly impacted the amount of pleasure he was willing to engage with, both with himself and with a partner.

So yes I do think it’s transphobic. It’s not end-of-the-world transphobia, you’re not a permanently shit human being, but anyone who refuses to have sex with trans people on the basis of us having the “wrong” genitals is not worth pursuing because we deserve to sleep with people who find us hot and don’t need to “rationalise” away touching our genitals. I don’t want to have sex with those people and no trans person should either. But I’m not giving cis people an out with “oh it’s just a preference” because I think that’s a very lazy and unserious way of engaging with your own desires

#asks #transphobia tw #ableism tw #fatphobia tw #intersexism tw #just tagging all that to be safe #also lmk if you need this tagged with anything else #not mad at you btw I’m cool with answering this #even old new york was once new amsterdam
