Why Is It Always ‘queer People Are Projecting Their Identities Onto Characters’ And Never ‘straight

all ao3 jokes aside, let’s all give thanks to the wonderful volunteers that are working hard to get the site back up and running so that homebodies like us don’t become stir crazy.

can you talk about being intersex and cis? how do you know if you're cis or trans when you're intersex? i promise this isn't meant to be rude i'm just a little confused as to how gender works when you're intersex. thank you so much. <3

I’m cis because I’m afab and still identify as a woman. If I was afab and identified any other way, I’d be trans. I’m intersex because my body itself has a mixed bag of secondary sex characteristics and hormones.

The label “intersex” itself isn’t a gender identity as much as it’s a way for people with mixed or ambiguous sex characteristics to define that experience. There are cis men and women who are intersex, trans people of every kind as well. I’m sure there are intersex people who just identify as intersex entirely but most intersex people I’ve met still identify as male, female, or nonbinary. Because your body doesn’t determine your gender identity.

Also, the opposite of intersex is perisex. You can be cis or trans, while being intersex or perisex. If you’re not intersex, you are perisex.

isn’t it weird how it’s already february but it’s also only february

I’ve been told: 

That I’m a ‘straight invader’, 

That I’m ‘going through a phase’

That I’m ‘really gay’ and ‘suffering from internal homophobia’

That what happened to me ‘wasn’t conversion therapy’

That my identities are ‘disgusting’ and ‘a threat to children’

Examples of who it was a phase for to ‘prove’ it’s a phase for me as well

That if I don’t ‘admit’ most if not all people like me are ‘gay with internal homophobia’ gay children will hate themselves for years thinking they’re my identities instead of gay

That the rape and murder of gay people is my fault

That I ‘steal resources’ from gay people

That I’m lying about being sexually assaulted ‘for attention’ as my identities are ‘attention seeking’ so I shouldn’t be trusted

That if I go to pride I’m ‘invading’ a space that doesn’t belong to me

That every bit of abuse that happened to me because of my identities either ‘didn’t happen’ or ‘didn’t count’ as oppression 

‘Why do you want to be oppressed so badly?’

I’m talking about being bi and trans, but I see every one of these things said to ace and aro people on a daily basis.

If you think I’m seeing Connor and Zoe push Evan, who is inside a tire, off a hillside while Jared records then you are completely right. That’s exactly what I’m seeing.

A very simplified version of a very serious, very complex matter.
