Exorsexism and Gender Modality

Stop calling me trans. It's perfectly valid if trans best describes who you are, but I'm not trans, I never was, and will never be. I am an isogender, gender-expansive, omni person. tired of playing the exorsexist "either or" game trying to convince my OWN community to acknowledge, respect, and accept my existence. I’m shocked, but not surprised, by the hypocrisy of those among us who erase and marginalize gender-expansive people who live at the intersections of compounded systemic oppression. News flash: you don’t achieve gender-variant liberation by dividing and gatekeeping varsex and gender-expansive people into hierarchies just for existing.

What you get is becoming an easier target for the far-right extremists who ultimately want to erase you—right alongside us.

transnormal pls? :))

— transnormal [ trans-normal ]

when an individual wants to be / identifies with being normal !

[tamaharu]

completely and utterly nonsensical as its less a genuine attempt at analysis and more me putting a bunch of sociological quandaries into my brain blender that still carries heavy residue of orv, but there is something to be said about the construction of 'authentic' selfhood in relation to the character/person dichotomy/the Story throughout orv. theres the material reality of the characters becoming tangible in-universe actors, and then this is tested time and time again as orv presses against the boundary of constructing a life/self via our actions/the things that we tell ourselves/others, and the way this can be rendered even more malleable by the presence of Fantasy Body/Soul Changes throughout orv. is there a true self in orv? is there a character in orv who is definitively 'real' compared to the others? and moreover, is there a true self in True Actual Reality or is it, again just an amalgamation of the stories that we construct about ourselves?

congratulations to vaugarde for inventing transnormativity

[antiterf]

Its pretty disappointing that a few years after I find that I relate a lot to intersex people as a perisex trans man that trans infighting has started to hit them as well.

Before the issue was more "no, stop saying you're brain intersex or that trans people are inherently intersex. Its harmful, not only because intersex people don't have much language to describe themselves, but because it's used to justify transition when medical care is forced on them."

Now it's "I don't care if your relationship to assigned sex and gender is complicated, squeeze yourself into binary language!" Like... really? We've lived our lives in defiance around people telling us we're something we're not and squeezing us into boxes that don't fit, and I'm seeing shit like this?

It even defaults to treating perisex nb people like shit because it tries to define their lives in a general sense without letting them define themselves.

There's a newer term called transnormativity. I think a lot of people here need to learn about it and think about how it can also apply to race, socioeconomic status, etc. But here, specifically, intersex trans people or intersex people in general.

Proposing/requesting some new intersex terminology

In my talking and thinking about intersex and intersex studies, I've found a desire to put names some of the concepts and groups of people that are out there. Here's what I've come up with, and would like feedback. 💛

Alternate language for medical/identity models

Intermedicalist: referring to a person or ideas which support the pathologization of intersex. Alternate language for what Costello (2016) refers to as the medical/disorder model of intersex. Intended as a parallel with transmedicalist.

Interliberationist: an intersex person who supports intersex liberation, in contrast to intermedicalism. Alternate language for what Costello (2016) refers to the identity framework of intersex; the view of intersex as a social identity, and intersex people in need of liberation from pathologization and presumptions about sex/gender norms.

Language for how intersex people relate to gender

Extergender. An intersex person who is not intergender, i.e. their gender does not feel affected by being intersex.

Language for how intersex people do or do not relate to queerness

Interqueer: an intersex person who sees their intersexness as being queer 🌈

Ipsoqueer: an intersex person whose queerness comes solely from being intersex; they are heterosexual, cis/ipsogender, etc. A subtype of interqueer.

Ulterqueer: an intersex person who understands their intersexness as queer and is also queer in other ways (sexual orientation, gender identity, etc). A subtype of interqueer.

Interseparate: an intersex person who rejects the idea that being intersex makes them queer. Opposite of interqueer.

Interconforming an intersex person who disidentifies with queerness on all axes (they are hetero, cis/ipsogender, etc). A subtype of interseparate.

Internormative: an intersex person who rejects that being intersex makes them queer, but they are queer in other ways. A subtype of interseparate. Chosen as parallel to homonormativity and transnormativity.

In terms of feedback: these are all concepts I want names for, but other than intermedicalist & interliberationist I feel pretty tentative/uncertain about what I've come up with. If you have ideas for improvements please let me know! 🤗

I'm a little worried that ipsoqueer and ulterqueer would lead to confusion with ipsogender and ultergender but also couldn't think of anything better!

EDITS: - 2023-11-27: changed "interstraight" to "interseparate", TY to anon who suggested the change. 🏳️‍⚧️

Black on Both Sides: A Racial History of Trans Identity by C. Riley Snorton

The story of Christine Jorgensen, America’s first prominent transsexual, famously narrated trans embodiment in the postwar era. Her celebrity, however, has obscured other mid-century trans narratives—ones lived by African Americans such as Lucy Hicks Anderson and James McHarris. Their erasure from trans history masks the profound ways race has figured prominently in the construction and representation of transgender subjects. In Black on Both Sides, C. Riley Snorton identifies multiple intersections between blackness and transness from the mid-nineteenth century to present-day anti-black and anti-trans legislation and violence.

Drawing on a deep and varied archive of materials—early sexological texts, fugitive slave narratives, Afro-modernist literature, sensationalist journalism, Hollywood films—Snorton attends to how slavery and the production of racialized gender provided the foundations for an understanding of gender as mutable. In tracing the twinned genealogies of blackness and transness, Snorton follows multiple trajectories, from the medical experiments conducted on enslaved black women by J. Marion Sims, the “father of American gynecology,” to the negation of blackness that makes transnormativity possible.

Revealing instances of personal sovereignty among blacks living in the antebellum North that were mapped in terms of “cross dressing” and canonical black literary works that express black men’s access to the “female within,” Black on Both Sides concludes with a reading of the fate of Phillip DeVine, who was murdered alongside Brandon Teena in 1993, a fact omitted from the film Boys Don’t Cry out of narrative convenience. Reconstructing these theoretical and historical trajectories furthers our imaginative capacities to conceive more livable black and trans worlds.
