Radblr! I know people on here have rightfully brought up how trans activists use people with DSD’s as political pawns, but the alternative is not to do that ourselves, and only bring up them when we can use them to criticize trans activism. I see people do this a lot. Intersex people are regularly medically abused and there is a lack of knowledge of their DSD’s even among professionals.

I just found your blog a few minutes ago. I don't know how, but you showed up in my BDSM feed. I love what you're doing and I love your recent suspensions and aerial dances, however I don't know your story so I don't really understand everything that's going on. I'm guessing that once you were a dancer and that some sort of illness, say MS, has made dancing impossible for you. If this is the case, then I truly appreciate your joy and wonder at discovering you can dance while suspended. From some of your comments I assume that you are lesbian but they're also hints that you could bi or pan. I hope you don't find my questions to intrusive. I love that you live in Santa Cruz which is not very far away from San Francisco. I think that's kind of cool. I loved your reference to the aquarium.
Long post alert ⚠️
Aww, welcome! Tysm for reaching out, I probably got pushed to you bc of my shibari content, and interaction w other kink accounts lol. Ty also for your kind words, I appreciate hearing them so much.
You're correct, I have some serious physical & mental health issues, and was actually bedridden for seven years. I thought I wouldn't walk again, let alone something like ride a bike (which I also now do!) or dance, which I did from very young childhood thru getting sick in my mid20s (now late 30s). It is incredibly liberating and gets me crying every time, that I found a way to dance again, and I find it tragically romantic that I can dance in literally no other way. The cherry on top is that I sprained my ankle very badly right before those pics were taken, and am on crutches now, but not even that is enough to make my dancing stop.
I actually did finally admit to myself literally yesterday morning that I'm a homoflexible lesbian, if not also caed, where I'd been kind of clutching to bisexuality like some kind of security blanket for the last several years. I also identify as trans nonbinary femme, she/he/they pronouns.
For the record, I felt nothing but care and human kindness from your questions, it feels wonderful to be invited to share these things about myself. It's not something I have much experience with yet, so tysm for asking ❤️
I'm a community organizer down here in Santa Cruz, I host a "NonMonogaMeetup" in town, and am getting established in the kink & queer communities as well, not sure how often you make it down here but feel free to check us out on Plura/Fet😊
P.S. I love that aquarium so much ❤️😭😭

By the way, my main tumblr is a fandom blog so it has a personal sideblog and that side blog is also attached to this one here.
I'm not going to post the url publicly, because it has my actual name and other blogs linked on it, but if we're mutuals there's a chance that blog may show up in your notes / may already be in your notes.
If you're someone who is wary of unknown blogs in your notes you can dm me for that url and I'll give it to you there!
I just don't want to post the url publicly because unfortunately my main blogs have a stalker who has been harassing me since late last year ( this person won't go after the people I reblog from, they're only interested in me for defending a long-time friend of mine from them because they ran my friend off tumblr altogether with their nonsense ).

I want to make a test similar to the Vito Russo, Duvernay, and Bechdel test but for asexuals in media.
The NRHODACT Test (I'm not good at names ok and similar to how things are named after the person that created it, I'm gonna roll with it for now lol.)
Rules for an asexual character to pass as good representation
- 1 or more asexual characters must be present in the story
- Audience must know the character is asexual through the story not by information outside of it. (Writers revealing the character is ace through their social media, Livestreams, Live Q&A)
- They must be relevant to the story. (If the story can function without them, they are irrelevant)
- Their sexuality must be taken as seriously as any other sexual orientation. (No invalidation by the other characters unless said characters are meant to be in the wrong and are reprimanded for it later on. Invalidation includes characters of other sexual orientations claiming their struggles are worse than theirs, making light of their asexuality, treated as less of an adult for being asexual, if it is a show centered around LGBTQ+ characters sexualities, the asexual character should have equal attention brought to their orientation)
