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.
It’s been A MONTH!?!,!,!??!?
Happy One Month To My Fav Gif
That was a wild year
Seems like everybody forgot that part of 2016 where literal clowns would chase people around with knives and no one really did anything about it

Happy Pride Month 2017!!!
i love cheating if you don’t cheat what the hell is wrong with you
I’m sorry, WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING?!?!?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
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.
