I just finished reading a post which involved a perisex person trying to tell several intersex people that their experiences weren't real, because there wasn't proof.
So, because of this, fellow perisex people, stay in your fucking lane. If you don't deal with intersex experiences first hand, you DO NOT have the right to tell intersex people what is an experience or not. That is NOT your place.
It's DISGUSTING how it's so normalized to speak over intersex experiences, because perisex people don't experience them. Do you realize YOU are repeating the same exact CYCLE perisex cis people have done to trans people for millennia?
"Oh I just don't see it, it must not be real," or "I don't experience this, so it's not real", actually fuck you. Seriously.
INTERSEX PEOPLE DESERVE TO BE HEARD AND RESPECTED. IT'S NOT FUCKING ROCKET SCIENCE.

Rainbow Intersex Ally Flags
For anyone included under the Rainbow flag who is an ally to Intersex people!
Requested by anon and made with two versions of the Gilbert Baker Rainbow flag, along with the most commonly used Intersex flag by Morgan Carpenter. Made with my Ally flag PSD template so the proportions are the same as the original Ally flag.
Free for anyone to use anywhere as always! If you would like a variation of these with a different Rainbow or Intersex flag feel free to send me a request !! The parallel flag set can be found here.
Taglist - @radiomogai, @daybreakthing

My dash has become filled with intersex people sharing their experience, sharing things they want perisex people like me to know, letting out there frustration, and I tried to reblog as many of them as I could.
But just to be 100% clear here. I want my Blog to be a safe space for intersex people. I know I still have a lot to learn, and I promise im trying, Im listening. If I ever say something offensive, please call me the fuck out!
But if you're intersex and finding my Blog, please know I stand by you, I hear you, I see you, I love you. I want to be a safe space for you.

Hi everyone!
I wanted to drop a few resources on some basics about intersex people and being an ally for intersex people. I'm perisex (at least to my knowledge at this time) but was interested to know more, and hope this will be helpful to others.
here's an article from HRC:
InterAct seems to have a lot of information, here is their FAQ!
They have several helpful pamphlets including basic information, a glossary of intersex conditions, and a pamphlet for allies:
and here are some videos, one from buzfeed:
youtube
and a playlist from Hi, Hello, Hans:
Of course, these are all super basic and as with anything, different intersex people may have different experiences. Please feel free to add more info or resources if you know of any!
#intersex#intersex resources#intersex allies#Youtube#it's up to us to educate ourselves!!!! lord knows intersex people do not owe us their labor to explain the very basics you can google#intersex ally

I want to be a better ally to intersex people, and I want to actively do better to accommodate them, and to uplift and respect the terminology that was coined by the intersex community.
Instead of referring to myself as afab, should I instead use the term perisex ftm? Would that be a better way to describe myself?
I love you, intersex people, you have a place in this community. I want to do better by y'all, and to be a good ally. I wasn't in the past, but I'm growing and maturing. From here on out, I will do my research, ask appropriate questions, and advocate by uplifting intersex voices, and allowing y'all to be heard rather than trying to form my own ways to uplift.

Perisex allies: stop this shit
CW: intersexism
Came across this infographic during some google image searching and I'm still kind of a state of despair about it because it's not just offensively wrong about what intersex is, it was used to teach university students about queer issues:
Alt text: LGBTQIA+ are defined one by one. Intersex is defined erroneously as "These are people who were born with genital organs of both sexes (male and female). It is a genetic condition."
It's one thing for your rando perisex person to be getting this wrong on social media. It's another thing entirely when it's professionals getting this wrong in an educational setting. 😩 And that this infographic appears in a peer-reviewed publication. 😩
It's even worse to know the students that were taught with this infographic were medical students, who will be the ones traumatizing intersex people for decades to come 😩
It's so wrong in so many different ways:
Intersex is not limited to people with genital differences. Most intersex people have intersex variations that are not apparent at birth, with puberty being the most common time of life for variations to present. Many people find out in adulthood having no outward physical differences.
Of the intersex people with genital differences, they do not have two sets of genitals. Most genital differences are still recognizably female or male (e.g. spadias), and those who have ambiguous genitals have one set.
Intersex is not "male parts + female parts" or even "intermediate male/female parts", it is an umbrella term for anybody whose primary/secondary sex characteristics don't line up with what is expected for male and female bodies. Some intersex variations make women look more feminine, or make men look more masculine.
Defining intersex by genital differences doesn't just exclude most intersex people, it also sets the tone that we are defined by our genitals. To be publicly intersex is to have non-stop DMs about your genitals. This sort of framing sets up openly intersex people for invasive questions and harassment, and it keeps large numbers of intersex people from coming out.
Many intersex variations do not have a known genetic basis. Many intersex variations are caused by exposure to certain hormonal levels in the womb. Certain medications when taken during pregnancy can trigger intersex variations.
While bodily variation is necessary for being intersex, the social experience of stigma, discrimination, isolation, hyper-medicalization, and hyper-sexualization are all just as much a part of being intersex.
📣 Perisex allies: this is shit you can stop. When you see other perisex people parrot this sort of misinformation, correct them. Direct them to look up resources written by actually intersex people.
Here are some starter resources to give:
Intersex explained by Hans Lindahl
Media and style guide by IHRA
FAQ by intersex-support
A recent post I did compiling information for trans people who want to be better intersex allies

NOTE: this is NOT about sharing your pronouns with colleagues/fellow students/professors etc. in general, it's about those introductory circles where everyone introduces themselves.
*trans includes nonbinary, agender, and other gender non conforming identities including autigender for the purpose of this poll.
no nuance button, but feel free to say your thoughts in the comments/tags or so i can make a better poll if necessary

I was thinking about this when I read about Biden’s administration saying gender-affirming surgery should only be allowed to adults. No one mentioned how this could/should effect infant surgeries in intersex cases. It makes the whole story much more nuanced than I think any media source will ever consider and that’s very frustrating for me.
not sure what to put as the caption but. yeah!!!!

the thing about transphobes saying that "sex can't be changed" while still making making intersexist carve-outs in law is that they give up the plot immediately. they think sex can be changed! but only to suit their agenda. they only bring that line of reasoning out for the cruelty of stopping those who seek to change their sex, while keeping it out of their mouths for the cruelty to enforce the sex binary on intersex people. it's all to make a two sex binary real through any means necessary, before anyone wants to call this "hypocrisy". it's not hypocritical to announce exactly what evils you intend to do to others and then do them.
#i'm perisex so if any intersex people think i'm off the mark or want to add on that's encouraged loudly#we're natural allies in the fight against these fucks#i want us to be good to each other

y'know what? I'm gonna say it
asking if someone is afab or amab is transphobic
the only people who need to know what gender you were assigned at birth are medical professionals and potentially sexual partners. otherwise, there is literally no reason anyone needs to know your agab
"but I have trauma with amab people" "but afab people are annoying" that sounds like a you problem and does not justify asking people what's in their pants. because that is what you are doing – just with politically correct terminology
you cannot call yourself a trans ally and then ask to know what's in someone's pants. end of story
(also? some people aren't afab or amab. neither sex nor gender are binary)
