My mom's going back to university to study to become a therapist and her biopsych textbook is... interesting. It straight up states that XX chromosomes=female and XY=male, no variation or exceptions, forget about the existance of monosomy or trisomy of sex chromosomes I guess let alone AIS, Swyer syndrome or de la chappelle syndrome. Oh but wait it gets worse. It later brings up intersex variations as 'exceptions that prove the rule' of bullshit binary ideas about sex and brings up some case studies, one of which is about a woman with CAIS and then proceeds to invite a debate over if she should be told the truth and that she has CAIS. Im going to fucking rip a wall apart, at least my mom has me as the context to know that that's bullshit, but what about people that just take that at face value? People that want to go on to be psychologists or therapists? They're going to fuck any intersex patients up so bad if they think it's debatable if we should be told the truth about our intersex-ness, and not only that but think its ok to surgically 'treat' us without telling us or giving any semblance of informed consent.
I'm reminded of how I read about how one intersex woman had to break into her doctor's office to steal her medical records, because she knew something was up but even as an adult they refused to tell her. And how intersex people are far more likely to have poor physical and mental health, a good chunk of that probably attributable to the fact that shit like this happens and so we're probably more likely to avoid doctors and mental health professionals and not trust them, for pretty good reason. Some of the things I went through during diagnosis and right after and some of the things they did were traumatic and violating. But at least they fucking told me I have CAIS and gave me a say in my plan for treatment/monitoring when I pushed back. The bar is so low that despite how horrible and traumatic some of that and how I was treated was, to the point where I'm still processing certain things almost 3 years later, by other standards I got incredible care. Because at least they fucking told me. That is the bare fucking minimum. No, that's lower than the minimum, or should be, but we've been mistreated by the medical system so much that telling us we're intersex at all is a step in the direction of progress.
But people, supposedly mental health professionals and doctors, want to debate if we should be granted the basic decency of knowing.

The part of me that craves chaos wants Cybird to announce the new release date for ikevil as Monday.
And then just. Not release it.

I was thinking about like. Medical stuff I’ve been through relating to being intersex. And I thought oh it’s not been that bad but looking back so far a lot of it has actually been pretty traumatic and messed up and I just didn’t have the capacity to deal with it at the time. Like how even though it was consensual and the doctor wasn’t bad and was quick and relatively respectful the genital exam I had was horrible, lying there in a hospital gown while a doctor looks at your genitals quickly sucks at the best of times but I’d just gotten the official diagnosis and she told me at the end that my vagina was shorter than usual and asked if I wanted to try dialating. That was horrible to experience. And then the thing that fucks me the most up is while I was having a biopsy done of my gonads apparently the doctor did a genital exam again and I didn’t find out until after, I never said yes to that and my mom asked about it and the doctor said she’d just forgot to tell me and I tried to brush it off at the time because of all the shit I was going through with accepting myself as intersex but again looking back that was a horrible violation of privacy but honestly even if I knew how I don’t think I’d want to do anything about that specific instance because it’s not worth what I’d have to go through to try to figure it out. And then the time the X-ray tech when I was having a bone mineral density scan done repeatedly asked me if I was on hormone blockers when I told her what I was in for even after I told her no I’m just like that. And how I had to fight to even keep my gonads at all and do a biopsy instead because my doctor was recommending a gonadectomy hard and I’m so fucking glad I found the intersex subreddit when I did because they helped me realize that that wasn’t the only option. And how my mom wanted me to get them out too at first (she’s always respected that it’s my descision and is more on board with my plan now but I still. It sucked). And while I was going through all that I was just trying to get through and figure my shit out and didn’t want to deal with the mental side of things and now it’s just all crashing down on me. Holy shit that was fucked up. And the care I’ve gotten could be considered fucking exemplary care compared to what other intersex people face. It’s just. A lot to deal with Just. Never forget that when intersex activists in 1996 protested how the American academy of pediatrics was treating us they were ignored and ridiculed. And today despite all advances in the fight for our rights there’s still so much change that must happen.

no cus if someone is crying and hiding in the corner theres like a 90 percent chance they DONT wanna talk to you, ESPECIALLY if they hide more when you try to talk to them, no you arent some good doing the equivalent of rescuing a puppy of the streets, at best your mildly annoying and at worst your making the situation way worse
