Schrödinger Was Framed

She/her. I've been here a damn long time and refuse to leave. PhD astrophysicist and big nerd about various things including knitting and genealogy. Ask me about the crimes of my ancestors (few but entertaining).

had a dream last night where I took a uquiz called “what do you serve?” and at first the questions were standard but as the quiz progressed they became more and more highly specific to me personally and the answers became more and more similar and I realised the quiz Knew me and was forcing me into being honest by giving me no other option so I tried to click out but it just went to the next question which was “are you the spider? or are you the web?” and it had an option for each but I didn’t click either so it then turned to a text box and I typed “I think I’m the fly” and the quiz paused for a while and then took me to a results page that said “you serve truth” and the description just read “what you know will kill you but you will die laughing” so like. good morning everyone I guess :/

OP I think the devil visited you in your sleep

“What you know will kill you but you will die laughing” needs to be added to that list of profound statements from unlikely sources.

He was right: I do not believe my eyes.

Instead of saying sex isn't real, we really need to put emphasis not only on the spectrum of sex and gender, but on the following:

Human beings have been falsely classified as sexually dymorphic for ages

  • Approximately 4% of the population is documented intersex and that's just what we have measured. Many people are estimated to be undiagnosed and undetected intersex, because research is coming to find that determining intersexedness or sex morph in humans is far more complicated than looking at the outside and checking chromosomes.
  • Doctors in majority still actively avoid, omit, and coerce in relation to intersex variations. They also tend to manipulate data to minimize our proportional population size. They will often intentionally avoid, ignore, or deny a person who believes they may be intersex, dismissing it as "rare and detected at birth".
  • Intersex people are as common as if not more common than people with red hair and green eyes. That is only while acknowledging what is currently measured. Many people have lived entire lives and been found to be intersex posthumously, even when they never knew it in life.
  • Intersex people have always been here, worldwide cultures pre-Colonialism acknowledged this openly in a variety of ways. Colonial societies also still had intersex people and there is documentation of this fact in multiple convergent cases.
  • Intersex conditions are not inherently disabling, and even if they have disabling properties they are not "defects" but a variation of human experience.
  • Intersex people are the masters of our own autonomy and physiology. We make the decisions about whether we alter ourselves or not. Nobody else.
  • Intersex people are not tokens to further trans liberation, not without mutual aid and real solidarity. While bringing us up to prove that binary sex is a sham IS true, more people need to actually talk about our oppression instead of leaving it at "they exist".
  • More intersex people are fertile/virile and have children than you think. like. Way more.
  • You, yes YOU could potentially be intersex and never know it. It's up to you whether that seems likely and is worth pursuing the research and diagnostics needed to ascertain the truth. Intersexedness is not always visible or superficially detectable by the viewer of an individual. Not all intersex people look androgynous or have clearly ambiguous genitalia.
  • A variation of genitals, gonads, hormones, chromosomes, and similar sex characteristic properties are not innate biological or physiological dysfunction. These represent variations on the scale of natural human sex variations.
  • There is no default binary of human morphism or sex anatomy.
  • Intersex people are whole at birth. We must not be altered until we are of age to give informed consent on matters of our autonomous pubarche.
  • Not all intersex people are detected in childhood.
  • There are countless ways to be intersex, and we are learning more about human sex variations every day.
  • The phrase "Disorder of sexual development/DSD" has served a purpose at times, but is largely used in medicalist views of intersex people. These facts coexist. This pathological view perpetuates the idea of these things being inherently defective, and is used by doctors in the pursuit of minimizing and erasing our existence. I would not fault an intersex person for calling their condition a DSD, but dyadics should be wary of how they use this phrasing, or avoid it entirely. Not all intersex people like to refer to their intersex condition as a disorder.
  • The claims that PCOS can't ever present as "really" intersex are largely claims that come from dyadic bias or medicalism, not from the intersex community. PCOS and NCAH (which is undeniably an intersex condition) are so similar that most late diagnosed NCAH intersex people like myself mistakenly believe or are told they have PCOS first. PCOS that presents with hyperandrogenism is intersex, if the individual wishes to seek such community.
  • Intersex people would net gain more from normalizing that there's more of us than we realize, and that we are whole as we are born, than we gain from the view of our existence as a pitiable and incomplete disorderly state.
  • Intersex people choose our own identity and gender, like anyone else.
  • Intersex people benefit from the normalization of varsexedness, which is why we must show solidarity with the trans community, and the trans community should show the same in return.
  • If you do not have reason to believe you are intersex but identify with the alignment of intersexedness, you may identify as varsex! Intersex conditions are congenital and one cannot "become intersex", whereas varsexedness is an umbrella that covers intersex people and trans people of various sexes together.

Humans are sexually omnimorphic. Say it with your chest and support intersex people. Happy pride month y'all.

💛💜💛

Humans have a bimodal distribution, which is extremely different from being dimorphic. Just needed to add that specific nomenclature in here because i don't recall seeing it in the original post.

Thank you for this terminology! Def adding to my lexicon

In addition to PCOS, most people don't know hypospadias can be considered intersex as well - many struggle with invasive operations during their early life for aesthetics or to easily stand during urination

can you come collect your freak of a man please. He’s doing things

So I'd like you to meet my partners. This is the broken, this is the beaten, and this is the damned.

Here is the lover, theres the dreamer, and that one there on the right is me.

Just entered a new relationship. There's Paul, a real estate novelist who never had time for a wife, and Davy, who's still in the navy and probably will be for life.

Yeah, this is my new boyfriend and girlfriend. Yeah, he was a punk and she did ballet. What more can I say?

Yeah, just got a picture of our polycule back. On the left is the clown, on the right is the joker, and of course, stuck in the middle, there's you.

my three girlfriends, the soldier who carries a mighty sword, the writer whose weapon is his word, and the king whose brow is big and worn. And yes, they do smoke weed.

Trans girl: Call me Olive.

Trans guy who needs to 1-up everyone around him: Oh yeah? Call me Oliver!

Enby who didn’t come here to make friends: oh hi there I’m Olivest

Oh fuck

my friend said no-one wants to be the god of gay sex and abortions and im like you’re kidding right i know at least six people who would kill for that to be their job

please don’t do this i’m not strong enough

badly cropped screenshot of the tags reading "posts that have 20k to me"ALT

Must watch

This could save the world you know

The professionalism and confidence really sell me but I’m still left wondering about some of the highly specific benefits. Was the Titty Cream the same substance as the Ear Cream…? How do you benefit from the green potion on the back of the head ONLY. And so on.
