Hello! I'm going to be running some lessons on queer stuff in my highschools Queer Student Union, and I plan on doing one or two days dedicated to us intersex people. What core concepts do you think i should I teach someone who has never even heard of intersex people before?

Oh excellent! I have a lot of recommendations, so this is going to be a long one.

What is intersex, and what it isn't - We are people whose natural sex characteristics fall outside of what is typically male or female. Here is a list of intersex conditions/variations you can use as examples.

Being intersex is not the same as being transgender or nonbinary, and is a separate category from gender identity; you do not transition into being intersex. Intersex is not a third sex, but rather an 'other' category, for those whose natural development does not fit typical ideas of male or female bodies.

Not all intersex people identify as LGBTQIA+, which should be respected, just as it should be respected that intersexuality is a valid and included reason someone can consider themselves part of the community. Intersex people are included in pride.

We are not disordered for our intersex traits, intersexuality is a natural occurrence in any population with males and females. Some intersex variations do come with associated health conditions, but it is not the intersex part of the variation that is the health condition, and not everyone with intersex traits has health complications. I would recommend this page We are More Than a Disorder, and this statement on DSD terminology from InterACT, one of the most prominent intersex advocacy groups.

It is not in our best interest to forcefully sort us into the male & female sex binary. Intersex people can be any gender and may consider their sex to be male or female (this may or may not be in addition to being intersex. Many of us consider ourselves to be intersex males or intersex females, and some of us consider ourselves to just be intersex) It is wrong to say phrases such as 'all intersex people are male or female', or 'intersex variations are sex specific'. Sorting us into this binary comes with the caveat that we are 'wrong' males or 'wrong' females, rather than normal, fully formed, intersex human beings. This is the basis of the oppression we face.

Be sure to note that no intersex people, including those with genital variations, have both reproductive organs, we are not H-words (good time to add that this word is outdated/derogatory and I considered a slur). A hermaphrodite can only come from a hermaphroditic species, such as snails and worms. The term hermaphrodite and pseudohermaphrodite used to be medical terms for us, and was commonly used in the early days of intersex activism, such as here. An intersex person may reclaim this word, but it is inappropriate and wrong to refer to an intersex person this way.

Intersex variations are not rare. We make up over 2% of the population (there is no accurate statistic because of a number of factors, intersex variations are extremely underreported, or erased from medical records). We are a widely invisible group who has been purposely erased with medical violence for decades. We are considered "rare" because of 'corrective' and 'normalizing' treatments. Intersex healthcare as it currently stands is more concerned with making us 'look normal' rather than making sure we are healthy. I would recommend reading @dabwax's paper Medicalizing Sex: The Erasure of Sexual Diversity, and this TED Talk by Georgiann Davis. include what you will from that in your lesson. Don't skimp out on the medical erasure part, it is very very very important for anyone learning about intersex people to be aware of just how far behind our movement for bodily autonomy is.

These medical interventions are not a thing of the past, and happen in all of the grey shaded countries on this map. Not only do they happen, they are often considered proper medical protocol.

I hope this is helpful! Good luck!

If any others want to add on, please feel free!

Some intersex flags! (Part 3)

Part 3 of making flags for intersex traits and variations that were flagless! (Here are part one and two.) There will be a part 4 and then all the main intersex traits/variations will officially have flags.

Please read (and reblog) our intersex guide. It is so important to understand intersex people, their bodies, and their health!

Yellow represents how this variation is intersex. Pink represents female-like anatomy (such as breasts and potentially vulval traits.) Purple represents androgynous sex traits and potential ambiguous genitalia. The symbol represents the chromosomes of those with this variation.

I went on a HUGE wiki archival spree for the past 10 hours and I found two of my personal holy grail "lost flag media posts" and I feel like I just have to share these because IM SO EXCITED !!

Here are the original posts for these flags! The first one and the second one.

To my surprise these are NOT transfem / transmasc general flags. These are actually Trans girl / Trans guy flags! Both were made by the same anonymous user and submitted to pride-flags-for-us / pride-flags on the same date ( you can see this via Wayback Machine )

The meanings are also pretty close to what everyone assumed they were, with the outerstripe referencing assignment / assumption at birth and the inside stripes representing true identity. it's pretty cool to know their anniversary / birthday though! ( April 23rd, 2015 )

Aplatonic Informational Website

AplatonicInformation.com is an informational website about anything and everything to do with aplatonicism. It includes explanations on what aplatonicism is, answers to commonly asked questions about aplatonicism, information for questioning potential apls, links to resources for aplatonics, and an archive of aplatonic and aplatonic-related terms and flags.

This website is a solo and ongoing project of mine. I will continue adding any and all aplspec terms and flags slowly but surely. I've also provided a way for people to submit terms and flags to be added to help make the content of the site as comprehensive as possible. Check out the contribute page (links on home page and in footer) for info on how to submit and to see my current to-do list.

Please feel free to send any feedback about the site to this blog or to the website's email, aplatonicinformation@gmail.com. This includes things like typos! I proofread every page at least three times, But I'm still just one person, and I'm bound to have missed something.

I'm so excited to finally share this with everyone! I hope you all enjoy it!

Platoweird

A term for when one experiences platonic attraction, but in a non normative way. May or may not be considered aplspec.

Romoweird

A term for when one experiences romantic attraction, but in a non normative way. May or may not be considered arospec.

Erosweird

A term for when one experiences sexual attraction, but in a non normative way. May or may not be considered acespec.

---

The yellow/green/purple are taken from the apl/aro/ace flags respectively, and are more pastel to resemble the unlabeled flag, as these terms are purposely vague.

The off white represents how the individual who identifies with this terms attraction is considered "off".

The pink represents attraction, because I've seen pink be used to represent sexual, romantic, and platonic attraction.
