I Feel Like Im Losing My God Damn Mind Every Second I Read This

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.

sharing a dorm with one of the Weasley brothers is probably dreaded because they’re great and everything but to share with one Weasley is to share with them all

so like

when Bill gets to Hogwarts no one knows this yet. he gets on well with his whole dorm. he talks about his siblings a lot

so it’s not that hard to figure out in third year when there’s a red-haired kid reading a dragon book on Bill’s bed in the middle of the afternoon (no Bill in sight) that this must be Charlie. but then suddenly the third year boys have this first year in their dorm all the time. and all he ever wants to talk about is dragons

they get used to Charlie though, he’s a good kid, as as the terms pass it’s as normal to find Charlie lounging on Bill’s bed as it is to find Bill there. they’re always running into each other’s dorms to grab clothes and steal each other’s books and stationary. if anyone can’t find one of them in their own dorm, the first place they check is the other’s

and then there’s another one. Percy’s not like Bill or Charlie, he doesn’t immediately make himself at home in their dorms. it’s not actually until about five weeks into his first year that one of Bill’s roommates walks into his dorm to find the kid sniffling on Bill’s bed, scrubbing tears from under his glasses and for some reason clutching a rat. the roommate backs out and goes to fetch Bill. later, when he ventures back in, it’s to find all three of them sitting on Bill’s bed, little Percy tucked under Bill’s arm, eyes dry, laughing at something Charlie is telling him

after that it’s much more common to find Percy in one of his brothers’ rooms. he likes to read Bill’s advanced spellbooks and hound Charlie about doing his homework. and his first-year roommates think it’s kind of cool, even if they’re a bit nervous at first, that a fourth year and a sixth year come by their dorm sometimes (Oliver Wood is in raptures over meeting Charlie Weasley)

when the twins come it gets much more dangerous to share a dorm with any Weasley. their own roommates, their brothers, and their brothers’ roommates all get pranked a lot and take it with varying levels of good humour 

and when Ron comes it’s the same, the twins are there to prank him and his roommates and Percy is there to bark at his brothers about getting out of bed and doing their work and they’re all in each other’s rooms to borrow clothes and quills and steal snacks from each other

and then Ginny comes, and she seems to be the exception. none of her brothers can go to her dorm anyway, and it takes a long time for her to work up the courage to try getting into the boys’ dorms. it’s not until her fifth year that she does, storming upstairs to shout at Ron about something

and suddenly it’s just like it always was

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

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.

And Hermione was struggling to her feet in the wreckage, and three redheaded men were grouped on the ground where the wall had blasted apart. Harry grabbed Hermione’s hand as they staggered and stumbled over stone and wood. “No – no – no!” someone was shouting. “No! Fred! No!” And Percy was shaking his brother, and Ron was kneeling beside them, and Fred’s eyes stared without seeing, the ghost of his last laugh still etched upon his face.

It’s okay if the most significant thing you did this year was get through it

‘God has a lot to answer for and my rebellion will continue until he does so’ is such a badass quote and it’s from a tumblr post about someone wanting to dip a clementine in ranch.
