one of the replies on this said “at least (insert flag) doesnt have the stupid ring” maybe perisex people don’t need to talk about flag designs ever again. to be honest

[luxiomahariel]

could you make a combo theymab theyfab flag. and an intersex version of that. as a treat for me who wants to reclaim both from exorsexist intersexists :3c

Here you go!

[ID: a 5 striped flag, in order the colors are dark lilac, lilac, white, light green and green. The intersex symbol lays on top of the flag. End ID.]

Definitely not a morning dog

Ayyyy! I saw you said there's no agabpunk flag, and I propose one!! (Really I'm just a bored agabpunk person who wanted an excuse to make something XDDDDD)

I thought this basic idea looked cool, but if anyone wants to make their own version of this/change it up a little that's totally fine!! (With credit to me for the base/flag idea)

The gradients are supposed to represent the diversity of agabpunk people and labels and how it's not restricted to a binary or typical/human concepts of agab

This is just kinda to get people brainstorming a flag if I'm honest, I think we deserve one and need one to rally under. So if this ends up being official or if someone uses it as inspo that's all cool by me!! :DDD

Haha didn't mean to make this so wordy, hope you're all having a great day

This is really cool! And I'm always a fan of the color green.

Might make this my icon!

I want one of those scenes in a dude bro film where “tomboy” chick has to wear a dress to go undercover or whatever, but instead of the guys drooling as she walks down the stairs, they’re like “k. U need to stop. Go put the cargo pants back on. You look super uncomfortable and awkward in that. Brutus, you go be the fake prostitute.”

took a run at designing a questing beast, partially inspired by a take by Veli Nystrom where it was coughing up tongues made of dogs. I like the designs that incorporate the dogs literally.

Idk if you’re still doing userboxes but if so, maybe you could do something very similar to this one but with amab transmasc and afab transfem?

AGAB-less trans userboxes

[pt: AGAB-less trans userboxes end pt]

We are BIG fans of the AGAB-less trans terms and made some userboxes based on them.

mintchocolate transneutral

[alt text: five userboxes with a mintchocolate transneutral flag background and icon; the brown text has a light-ish green background and reads "this user is mintchoclate transneutral" (top), "my flavor of trans does not tell you my AGAB" (middle left), "our flavor of trans does not tell you our AGAB" (middle right), "focus on what I actually am, not what a doctor said I am" (bottom left), or "focus on what we actually are, not what a doctor said we are" (bottom right) end alt text]

coffee bean transmasc

[alt text: five userboxes with a coffee bean transmasc flag background and icon; the red-brown text has a light blue background and reads "this user is coffee bean transmasc" (top), "my flavor of trans does not tell you my AGAB" (middle left), "our flavor of trans does not tell you our AGAB" (middle right), "focus on what I actually am, not what a doctor said I am" (bottom left), or "focus on what we actually are, not what a doctor said we are" (bottom right) end alt text]

honeybee transfem

[alt text: five userboxes with a honeybee transfem flag background and icon; the mid red-pink text has an off-white background and reads "this user is honeybee transfem" (top), "my flavor of trans does not tell you my AGAB" (middle left), "our flavor of trans does not tell you our AGAB" (middle right), "focus on what I actually am, not what a doctor said I am" (bottom left), or "focus on what we actually are, not what a doctor said we are" (bottom right) end alt text]

blueberry bee transmascfem, carpenter bee transmascfem

[alt text: five userboxes with a blueberry bee transmascfem background and icon; the dark purple text has an light-ish purple background and reads "this user is blueberry bee transmascfem" (top left), "this user is carpenter bee transmascfem" (top right) "my flavor of trans does not tell you my AGAB" (middle left), "our flavor of trans does not tell you our AGAB" (middle right), "focus on what I actually am, not what a doctor said I am" (bottom left), or "focus on what we actually are, not what a doctor said we are" (bottom right) end alt text]

I'm perisex so let me know if I'm speaking out of turn but I think maybe it was a mistake to incorporate Afab/Amab outside of conversations involving intersex people. Now trans people who are convinced they mean well/are in the right are clinging to them as ways to sort complete strangers and refuse to acknowledge the violence that the sex binary enacts on people by viewing assigned gender as an immutable part of society.

[luxiomahariel]

ASAB is so often used to neglect chronically ill people seeking a diagnosis. it hurts intersex and perisex people alike.

we need to get rid of the sex binary for so many reasons and disabled liberation is one of them.

lupus is a disorder with a ratio of 9:1 people who were AFAB to people who were AMAB. it is a disorder that is wildly dominated by people who were AFAB.

doctors often treat lupus as a "women's disease" and when they're not treating it as a "women's disease" they're treating it as an "AFAB disease." there is no room in the system for intersex people (no statistics on our prevalence in the lupus population) and no room for people who were AMAB (despite them being 10% of people with lupus) the biology of trans people, particularly those who have medically transitioned, is of course not taken into account.

this leads to neglect of people who were AMAB, intersex people, and trans people (particularly transfemine but not exclusively) who have a dangerous, often life threatening autoimmune disease. doctors don't bother looking because "how could you have it? you don't fit this narrow presentation of lupus that I created in my head." people have died from this. lupus kills, especially when left untreated.

abolishing the sex binary would largely fix this problem.

the reason so many people who were AFAB have lupus is because of estradiol. (read more about why here) estradiol is a major determining factor in who develops lupus and who doesn't. it's the theorized reason for the sex disparity. .... but people who were AFAB aren't the only people with estrogen-dominant endocrine systems, and not all people who were AFAB have estrogen-dominant endocrine systems. you can develop lupus with a testosterone-dominant endocrine system but it is far less common.

so why do doctors look at ASAB instead of that actual cause, estradiol? (rhetorical question but the answer is transphobia and intersexism)

sex abolition says that in replacement of overarching categories of sex we instead identify individual traits. lupus is one example of thousands where focusing on a specific trait rather than a sex would actually be more helpful in narrowing down diagnoses.

intersex and trans people will continue to have their diagnoses missed until we abolish the sex binary and replace it with something more useful. there is no disabled liberation without intersex liberation.

any other afab trans men hate the term ftm

Like wdym im female to male i was never female

[luxiomahariel]

shout out to MtM / FtF / NbytNby people we are so deeply powerful

'transandrophobia is white male fragility' mfs when i start talking about the insane situation of trans men in the global south and how they're all useless westerners who don't give a shit about non-american poc.
