This pride month can we all promise to stop hating masculinity. Can we promise to welcome transmascs and butches and men and men-adjacent people at pride. Can we not shame people for loving men or, god forbid, themselves.

Masculinity is queer too. Ok? Ok.

"the sex is binary, it's biological reality"

and then you need to enforce it's reality by mutilating infants' bodies without their knowledge and consent with mostly cosmetic goals*

and then you need to enforce it's reality by having gender mark in every possible document

and then you need to change this mark back and forth if the intersex person "falls away" of their assignment too much and it's more convenient to push them in other box

and then you need to enforce it reality by pushing childrens and adults on "treatments" of their intersex variations by fearmongering, coercion, and/or blatant lie (or without their knowledge at all)

and then you need to enforce it's reality by hiding their own medical history from intersex people

and then you need to enforce it's reality by artificially lowering the statistics of intersex variations' frequency

and then you need to enforce it's reality by selective abortions of intersex fetuses

and then you need to enforce it's reality by giving people no opt-out of it

and then you need to enforce it's reality by gatekeeping transition as much as possible

and then you need to enforce it's reality by refusing to add any way of opting-out a bit, like neutral gender marks, ban of unnecessary surgeries on infants and using active monitoring instead, etc.

if you need to ban back and forth to protect "reality," you aren't protecting reality. you're just trying to push people in your wrong narrative.

*some variations cause things that require immediate intervention, but 1) not all variations, only some; 2) immediate intervention should solve acute problem, and not focus on cosmetic part and tries to create binary-looking genitals

"wait, but what do I say to describe people who cannot get pregnant?" a guide.

Men cannot get pregnant: INCORRECT. Transgender men are men and many are capable of getting pregnant. Also, excludes the plenty of people who are not men who cannot get pregnant.

Cis men cannot get pregnant: INCORRECT. Intersex men who are technically cis, but have uteruses and ovaries, may be capable of pregnancy, even if it's unlikely. Also, excludes the plenty of people who are not men who cannot get pregnant.

Cis perisex men cannot get pregnant: Correct, but excludes the plenty of people who are not men who cannot get pregnant.

People without uteruses cannot get pregnant: Correct, but excludes infertile and menopausal people with uteruses who also cannot get pregnant.

People who cannot get pregnant: CORRECT. Excludes no one.

To use inclusionary language, you don't need to rip through the reeds in search of wider terminology when you could quite literally say things exactly as they are. Inclusive language isn't "overcomplicated" at all. It's straightforward.

[Siren wailing]... Big pink hawkmoth season is upon us. I repeat, big pink hawkmoth season. This is not a drill.

This is an elephant hawkmoth, warming up its wings & taking off. It's caterpillars are also magnificent chonks, and they eat rosebay willow herb (AKA fireweed in the US I think?) This is a perfect reason to do less weeding. Keep some weeds, get big pink hawkmoths like this one.

Thank you from the Moth Promotional Board ✨🦋🐾🛹✨
