since i’ve never seen a positivity post like this, here’s a shout out to all the intersex ppl who:
have health problems due to being intersex
have been traumatized by doctors, and/or have a general fear of them
have struggles/traumas/insecurities specifically due to being intersex
get dysphoria due to being intersex but not the same kind of dysphoria that trans/nb people get
since the moment they were born, everybody knew they were intersex
are terrified of being intimate
get misgendered a lot, even if they’re cis
if they’re trans, they feel like they didn’t have the “proper” trans experience
have never seen a picture of someone else that looks like how they look
feel like nobody understands
i’m here, i see you, and i understand. you’re not alone.

Nothing wrong with doing things as slowly as you need to. If you can only progress at 5 minutes a week, then do 5 minutes a week. If you need to do nothing but rest for a day or a month or a year, then do that. Be gentle with yourself.
… Especially when there’s a pandemic on. If the only thing you accomplish at the moment is staying alive, that’s OK. Dealing with a boatload of extra anxiety and having to change up a lot of things is especially hard when you are already struggling. Be gentle with yourself!

Rather than making choices
Why don’t you just sit comfortably
In your alignment
And have the universe choose through you
And then you just show up
