Oh god I didn't even realize this would be an issue in the furry community when I wrote the post on tumblr and just ooof. Sorry you have to deal with that and it's a shame that there aren't more furries interested in biological accuracy.
We are not 'biologically nonbinary', it's actually fairly rare for us to be assigned X at birth, the majority of us are given an assigned sex. Intersex is a catch-all for a huge number of variations,...
Posting because it's frustrating how often I see nonbinary folks say they want to "transition to intersex" just noooo that's not what intersex is. Like congrats on figuring out body transition goals but just that idea that "intersex is ambiguous genitals and that's all there is to it" kept me in the closet about being intersex for years.
Sweet, thanks for sharing, and welcome
An online book club for intersex people, our allies and those who are questioning to form social...
I co-organize an online intersex-themed book club. It's a place for intersex people to meet fellow intersex people and talk about intersex themes in literature. Perisex allies are welcome too.
We're reading the Left Hand of Darkness this month, next month we're gonna read a little bit of academic intersex studies, and looks like in October we'll be reading some short stories.
We announce that the 2015 survey of people born with atypical sex characteristics has now been published. This survey was an independent research project led by Dr Tiffany Jones. The book has been peer reviewed and published by an academic publisher, Open Book Publishers. The strong team of co-autho...
Saw it posted on tumblr. No idea how the findings hold up in 2023 or internationally but still really sweet to learn more about other intersex people!
Another meme from r/intersex that made me happy.
Alt-text: "There are only two biological human sexes". Tuvok from Star Trek Voyager is captioned "science" and says no. Kim from Voyager is captioned "intersex-phobes" and says yes.
The new documentary from “RBG” director Julie Cohen lends a platform to the often ignored “I” in LGBTQIA.
Haven't seen the movie yet but I am pumped!
Hi everyone! I thought I'd make a guide of basic intersex vocabulary and definitions. I will link to sources when relevant! intersex: "A difference in sex traits, that happens on its own, and is not…
From trans-axolotl on tumblr, I find it helpful for sharing with perisex friends!
Co-authored by Dana Zzyym. Much has been said recently, on the heels of all the media attention on Caitlin Jenner and Rachel Dolezal, about the issue of how people “identify”. Meanwhile, Intersex...
The short answer is that ‘intersex’ is an accurate, simple, internationally recognised, non-technical and non-pathologising term.
A big list of intersex media from intersex-support on tumblr! Please add any others you know in the comments! :)
But wait...it's not quite that simple... ...because plants often reproduce asexually! Plants can reproduce asexually by being cut into pieces which each grow back into whole plants, but I'll focus o…
So glad I saw this video before actually trying to read it, and glad to have it on hand every time I see Middlesex get put on lists of queer books (sigh)
Alt text: scene from the Matrix. Morpheus shows Neo the red and blue pills, which are labelled "Broad shoulders, muscle mass, and a beard" and "Wide hips, narrow waist, and breasts". Neo is shown with "my puberty". Then Morpheus asking "Did you just take both pills?"
People need to understand that some intersex people find out late, and not every single intersex person has had invasive medical trauma, and we don't owe you our history or proof of our intersex stat…
(Not my writing but I vibe with it so much)
So I'm still gathering my thoughts on The Deep by intersex author Rivers Solomon which I read for @intersexbookclub and one thing that I keep seeing in reviews for the book is "all of the wajinru are...
Keeping with the theme of the community. I am so tired of seeing perisex sci-fi fans say that all the <insert aliens species that can reproduce as both male and female> are intersex. Not how it works folks!
