i love when intersex people try to talk about our issues people try to hit us with a "that doesn't count, that would be like 0.01% of the population you're talking about," ahh response, which I have personally received several times at this point.

everyone loves to be confident to pull some bullshit statistic out of their ass to be dismissive, but it's funny because they never do a second of research. the United Nations Human Rights Office estimates 1.7% of the population are born intersex:

even if the numbers were any lower, it would still be worth talking about intersex issues. any amount of people with these experiences are worth representing and discussing. we should not have to be invisible because our conditions are so stigmatized that many of us receive "Corrective" procedures just after birth, during childhood, or puberty. so many of us are swept under the rug, that's part of the reason why the statistics vary depending on which area is reporting the statistics.

you can't weaponize how marginalized someone is against them. if we fight for people with the most specific gender identities that can't be easily explained in one or two words, we must include intersex people. if we include people who use unique pronouns not seen in current common vernacular, we must support intersex people. if we support other queer minorities, we must support intersex people.

it's not an option. you can act like we are a statistic on a page, a number you can't possibly fathom in your mind, but we are all around you. everywhere. existing in real time. we are not fossils. we are not extinct.

you don't have the pleasure of ignoring us anymore. intersex rights are human rights, and sometimes, they're queer rights, too.

Your Intersex Awareness Day reminders that:

- Micropenis jokes are intersexist and not funny

- Intersex genital mutilation (IGM) is still allowed in nearly every country

- AFAB TransFem, AMAB TransMasc, Cis Trans, and Cis Non-binary are important terms for many Intersex folks

Include Intersex folks in your activism.

In case no one told you this year, I’ll say this. You are loved. You are worthy of being loved.you are enough. You are not alone. Your story doesn’t end here. This is your sign to keep going. This is your sign to stay alive. This is your sign to live the life the way you want. This is your sign to follow your dreams. This is your sign to save yourself.

The "A" in LGBTQIA+ stands for all "A" identities, such as Aromantic, Asexual, Agender, and also Androgyne!

As nobody seems to know / nobody (almost) ever mention us as a part of the acronym, I will for everyone.

i think it's insane that nonbinary people went "hey i'm trans, i'm just not transitioning to one of the two very specific ideas of gender you have in your head" and so many cishet people and transmeds went "ah so you're not trans, you're just quirky." like hello? i literally started the sentence with "i'm trans" are you okay? people can transition in more than just one of two extremely specific ways, carol.

The latest episode of Our Opinions Are Correct is about queer horror...It's a scary time for LGBTQIA+ folks — and many of us are seeking out queer horror stories to help us get through it! To find out why, we talk to @drchucktingle, author of the upcoming Bury Your Gays. Plus what makes a soundtrack scary?

Asexual folks are no “less Queer”.

Aromantic folks are no “less Queer”.

Bi/Mspec folks are no “less Queer”.

We’re all just as Queer as any other Queer person.

i keep missing work due to my brain injury + brain cyst + general chronic illness, and i only have 5 months to generate over $10,000 or else i’m going to have to go even further into medical debt!

every single dollar makes a real, genuine difference in my life!

When you show up as your authentic self, whatever that may be, you allow others to do the same, creating the world we all deserve.❤️❤️
