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.

two bros chilling in a hot tub becomes unpredictable if one of the people its being used on has feelings for you
a list of memes that i think would be spells in the carry on universe:
road work ahead? - for sealing potholes or cracks in the road, or when there is difficult terrain ahead of you, it clears a decently walkable path
then perish - basically avada kedavra
two bros chilling in a hot tub - when someone is too close for your liking, it immediately pushes them so they’re five feet away from you. depending on how much magic you put into the spell, it can remove one person you don’t like, or it can move everyone that is within 5 feet of you. this can take significantly more power though depending on how many people are near you
everything changed when the fire nation attacked - it lights a fire!
this bitch empty - send an object hurtling away from you in the direction you’re facing. how far the object goes depends entirely on how loudly and forcefully you yell yeet
it’s free real estate - clears an area of obstructions, kinda similar to the two bros spell, except it doesn’t centre around you
johnny johnny yes papa? - i’m not sure what this one would do, but it’s canon that nursery rhymes tend to make very powerful spells! maybe it could be a truth compulsion spell? which would be very useful, but the thought of a very serious lawyer singing this spell in court is SENDING ME
anyways feel free to add more
because its written in fanfic all the time but i just cant seem to picture what it tastes like, maybe cinnamon...
its a really good film...
Why you should watch Enola Holmes (2020)
- female teenage protagonist (Enola) is 16, played by actual 16yr old Millie Bobby Brown instead of an adult woman
- love interest (Tewkesbury) is played by 17yr old Lewis Partridge and not a man that’s way older than Millie
- Enola is not sexualized once in the entire movie
- Enola is not made to look older than 16
- period movie that isn’t depressing or super dark
- criticisms on society that are very valid today
- Tewkesbury cries on screen (let men show their feelings 2020)
- Enola is not a damsel in distress, in fact she’s the one that goes out of her way to save Tewkesbury
- Enola is 90% of the time wearing an outfit that is comfortable on her and allows her to move freely, the only times she doesn’t are when she’s undercover
- a genuinly fun story that’s easy to follow, appropriate for kids and not boring to adults
- no love at first sight bullshit, it takes Enola ages before she realizes her feelings and love is not her main motivation
- Mycroft is an absolute abysmal human being and the movie never tries to sympathise with him. He’s just straight an asshole and isn’t given a redemption or sympathy
- movie is written and produced by women

THEY LITERALLY HANG THEM UP TO DRY IN CRYING OH MY GOD
Harry, Did you put basic human kindness in the Goblet of Fire?!!!
Look, I know a good number of you are from the US and things aren't amazing there either, but my country is literally on the brink of collapse. So I'd love it if we could talk about that for a minute.
If you can't do anything else, please just read and reblog.
A second COVID wave has taken out the healthcare system. There are no more hospital beds. There's an oxygen shortage. There's a critical vaccine shortage. The Central Government has thrown its hands up and is passing the baton to the State Governments to do what they can.
There are over 16 million covid cases. A record 330,000 new cases reported yesterday - comparable to the US at its peak. 187,000 dead as of today.
There is no plan.
Mass cremations are taking place. The cremation grounds are running day and night and they are short on wood. People are watching their loved ones die while waiting for a hospital bed, and then they're unable to give them the proper burial rights.
Hospitals are overwhelmed. Patients are being confined, two to a bed. They're the lucky ones.
We are on the verge of people dying in the streets.
This is the second-most populous country in the world. The largest democracy. A country that encapsulates over 15,000 years of recorded human history and has endured everything from famine to invasion to colonisation.
We might be at the end. This might be the thing that does us in.
People are dying.
People are dying.
People are dying and there is no plan.
More good news? Variants are popping up. A double mutation strain has shown up. It is resistant to current vaccines. This will not go away. This is the devastation they warned of when the anti-maskers were out protesting the minor inconvenience of covering their face in public.
My country is on the verge of an emergency state. Our government has failed us. This is as dire a situation as it ever could be.
Look. I don't do much with my life. I write fics, some of you have read them and that's pretty much it. I spend my days with my head in the clouds because that's where I like to be.
But two days ago, my grandmother tested positive, had to be taken to hospital and the ambulance caught fire.
She barely made it to the urgent care she needs.
So, here I am, using whatever meager platform I have to cobble this request together. Because I have to do something.
If you can, donate.
Or spread the word.
Help. Please.
