SNC also know as sex non-conforming.

Sex non-conforming (SNC), is a sex variance describing an individual whose sex presentation does not align with or reflect their sex identity.

SNC individuals may identify with any sex modality, including cissex.

Possible examples of sex non-conformity include, but are not limited to:

Trans feminine person who is happy with having a flat chest and no breasts. and may not went to bottom surgery for themselves.

Trans masculine person who is happy with their body and having breast and may not went to bottom surgery for themselves.

non-binary individuals who are comfortable and may identify with their AGAB.

and many other reasons

Gender Ideology harms autistic people - Autistics Against Gender Ideology

Autism diagnosis is often the most important thing of a person's life, this is spoken many times over by autistic folk.

Finally answering the question that has hung in your mind, and on others faces, since you can remember.

Yes, this also sounds familiar to "finding out you're trans" - so why do Trans Rights Activists claim that addressing someone's gender distress and asking if they have been assessed for autism or considered that they may be autistic, is invalidating? Their whole mantra is about validation and recognition for who they are.

Getting an autism diagnosis is the MOST validating experience! Ask any autistic person. You'd think they'd be shoulder to shoulder with us advocating for better autism support and access to "life-saving diagnosis and Neuro Affirming Care" but no, they see autism acknowledgment as INVALIDATING to trans. Always with the selfishness!

When autistic people end up in gender clinics, they've already gone a distressing portion of their life having their autism unrecognised and unsupported, they are in severe distress. The physicians DO recognise autistic traits but they don't address it (those who try to get bullied out the organisation or can lose their careers - read the whistleblowers stories).

To address possible autism once the magic word "Gender" has been mentioned is akin to transphobia, apparently. So you face yet another barrier to diagnosis, go unsupported, don't receive tailored care or understanding, and get enlisted on the biggest medical journey of your life without knowing the most important thing of your life and what could be underlying your distress and understanding of yourself and why you feel you don't fit into society. Yes, you probably feel like an alien! Like you are not "doing girl properly" or not "doing boy properly" - a common autistic experience. No, seeing autism in this respect is bad, evil even!

Autistic folk often feel a kinship with the trans experience and in solidarity will emotionally share that weight of feeling there is something deep inside yourself that is different and needs to be discovered, realised - "Self Realisation".

For us, this "self realisation" takes mental health exploration, assessments, evidence based research, talking therapy, interviews with your family members or guardians to build up a history. It's certainly not a 30 minute consultation or a self declaration.

Waiting lists for autism assessments are massive, and depending on your location, can be costly out of your own pocket. But generally, it is free on the NHS.

Perhaps some see these things as Gatekeeping? An obstacle? And this is why we think we should rush through the trans "care"?

Then why are not you not also advocating for autism assessments/diagnosis in the gender clinics? Why is it suddenly so untouchable? If you care about gatekeeping then why do you not press for better access to diagnosis for severely distressed autistic people in gender clinics? Instead you turn your back and ignore distress in undiagnosed autistic children, adolescents and adults.

It is very clear that the words Trans or Gender stop people thinking critically and will throw their intuition out the window. This has to stop. Gender ideological thinking has no right to determine what or how people can think, feel or act. It has no right butting it's nose into autism and changing how we are allowed to discuss autism or advocate for our own needs.

Sex Non-Conforming

Sex Non-Conforming (SNC) is an umbrella term for individuals who do not conform to typical sex standards or expectations. Examples of sex non-conformity include, but are not limited to:

Transgender men who consider themselves to have always physically been male, just not in the way being male is traditionally defined as. These men may also identify as MtM.

Transgender women who consider themselves to have always physically been female, just not in the way being female is traditionally defined as. These women may also identify as FtF.

Transgender or non-cisgender individuals who do not wish to medically transition. These individuals may also identify as transine.

Individuals who desire sex characteristics that are typically not associated with their gender identity, such as wanting facial hair while being a woman or wanting breasts while being a man. These individuals may be cisgender or non-cisgender.

Individuals who perceive their bodies as gender neutral, genderless, or otherwise not inherently gendered, regardless of one's physical characteristics.

Individuals who do not identify with sex whatsoever, often due to regarding sex categories as unnecessary, unhelpful, or invasive.

Individuals who desire nonhuman sex characteristics and/or genitalia. These individuals may identify as xenogenital.

Individuals who desire mixed sex characteristics and/or genitalia, such as both a penis and a vagina. These individuals may identify as salmacian.

Individuals who desire no sex characteristics and/or no genitalia. These individuals may identify as apothigenital, angenital, or angonadal.

Individuals whose desires surrounding their sex characteristics and/or genitalia are fluid, or who desire to be polymorphic. These individuals may identify as genitalfluid or morphisex.

Sex non-conformity centers around perceptions and ideas surrounding sex that diverge from typical ideas of sex. It also centers around desires related to one's sex that are either not deemed typical for their gender or not deemed typical in general.

Transsex individuals are sometimes considered sex-nonconforming, as desiring to change one's sex characteristics is inherently non-normative, especially if one is not transgender in addition to being transsex. However, transgender individuals are often expected to be transsex, therefore medically transitioning (or desiring to) as a transgender person may also be considered conformant by some people.

Intersex individuals are not typically considered sex non-conformists, as intersex is an umbrella term for sex variations that one must be born with.

Sex non-conforming was coined by wiki user Wemrotung. The sex non-conforming flag was created by wiki user Wemrotung.

I watched all eight episodes of season 1 of Blue Eye Samurai over the weekend. I then went browsing because I wanted to read some online reviews of the show to see what people were thinking of it and also because I wanted to interact with gifs and art, as the series is visually stunning.

Yet, in my search for opinions on the show, I came across several points I'd like to address in my own words:

Mizu’s history and identity are revealed piece-by-piece and the “peaches” scene with Mizu and Ringo at the lake is intended to be a major character reveal. I think it’s weird that some viewers got angry over other viewers intentionally not gendering Mizu until that reveal, rather than immediately jumping to gender the character as the other characters in the show do. The creators intentionally left Mizu’s gender and sexuality ambiguous (and quite literally wrote in lines to lead audiences to question both) to challenge the viewer’s gut assumption that this lone wolf samurai is a man. That intentional ambiguity will lead to wide and ambiguous interpretations of where Mizu fits in, if Mizu fits in at all. But don't just take my word for this:

Re: above. I also think it’s weird that some viewers got upset over other viewers continuing to acknowledge that Mizu has a very complicated relationship with her gender, even after that reveal. Canonically, she has a very complicated relationship with her identity. The character is intended to represent liminality in identity, where she’s often between identities in a world of forced binaries that aren’t (widely) socially recognized as binaries. But, again, don’t just take my word for this:

Mizu is both white and Japanese, but she is also not white and not Japanese simultaneously (too white to be Japanese and too Japanese to be white). She’s a woman and a man. She’s a man who’s a woman. She’s also a woman who’s not a woman (yet also not quite a man). But she’s also a woman; the creators said so. Mizu was raised as a boy and grew into a man, yet she was born a girl, and boyhood was imposed upon her. She’s a woman when she’s a man, a man when she’s a man, and a woman when she’s a woman.

Additionally, Mizu straddles the line between human and demon. She’s a human in the sense she’s mortal but a demon in the sense she’s not. She's human yet otherworldly. She's fallible yet greatness. She's both the ronin and the bride, the samurai and the onryō. In short, it’s complicated, and that’s the point. Ignoring that ignores a large part of her internal character struggle and development.

Mizu is intended to represent an “other,” someone who stands outside her society in every way and goes to lengths to hide this “otherness” to get by. Gender is a mask; a tool. She either hides behind a wide-brimmed hat, glasses, and laconic anger, or she hides behind makeup, her dress, and a frown. She fits in nowhere, no matter the identity she assumes. Mizu lives in a very different time period within a very different sociocultural & political system where the concept of gender and the language surrounding it is unlike what we are familiar with in our every-day lives. But, again, don’t just take my word for this:

It’s also weird that some viewers have gotten upset over the fact women and queer people (and especially queer women) see themselves in Mizu. Given her complicated relationship with identity under the patriarchy and colonial violence, I think Mizu is a great character for cis-het women and queer folks alike to relate to. Her character is also great for how she breaks the mold on the role of a biracial character in narratives about identity (she’s not some great bridge who will unite everyone). It does not hurt anyone that gender-fluid and nonbinary people see themselves in Mizu's identity and struggle with identity. It does not hurt anyone that lesbians see themselves in the way Mizu expresses her gender. It does not hurt anyone that trans men see themselves in Mizu's relationship with manhood or that trans women can see themselves in Mizu when Mama forces her to be a boy. It's also really cool that cis-het women see themselves in Mizu's struggles to find herself. Those upset over these things are missing critical aspects of Mizu's character and are no different from the other characters in the story. The only time Mizu is herself is when she’s just Mizu (“…her gender was Mizu”), and many of the other characters are unwilling to accept "just Mizu." Accepting her means accepting the complicatedness of her gender.

Being a woman under the patriarchy is complicated and gives women a complicated relationship with their gender and identity. It is dangerous to be a woman. Women face violence for being women. Being someone who challenges sex-prescribed norms and roles under patriarchy also gives someone a complicated relationship with their identity. It is dangerous to usurp gender norms and roles (then combine that with being a woman...). People who challenge the strict boxes they're assigned face violence for existing, too. Being a racial or ethnic minority in a racially homogeneous political system additionally gives someone a complicated relationship with their identity. It is dangerous to be an ethnic minority when the political system is reproduced on your exclusion and otherness. They, too, face violence for the circumstances of their birth. All of these things are true. None of them take away from the other.

Mizu is young-- in her early 20s-- and she has been hurt in deeply affecting ways. She's angry because she's been hurt in so many different ways. She's been hurt by gender violence, like "mama's" misogyny and the situation of her birth (her mother's rape and her near murder as a child), not to mention the violent and dehumanizing treatment of the women around her. She's been hurt by racial violence, like the way she has been tormented and abused since childhood for the way she looks (with people twice trying to kill her for this before adulthood). She's been hurt by state-sanctioned violence as she faces off against the opium, flesh, and black market traders working with white men in contravention of the Shogun's very policies, yet with sanction from the Shogun. She's been hurt by colonial violence, like the circumstances of her birth and the flood of human trafficking and weapons and drug trafficking in her country. She's had men break her bones and knock her down before, but only Fowler sexually differentiated her based on bone density and fracture.

Mizu also straddles the line between victim and murderer.

It seems like Mizu finding her 'feminine' and coming to terms with her 'female side' may be a part of her future character development. Women who feel caged by modern patriarchal systems and alienated from their bodies due to the patriarchy will see themselves in Mizu. They understand a desire for freedom that the narrow archetypes of the patriarchy do not afford them as women, and they see their anger and their desire for freedom in Mizu. This, especially considering that Mizu's development was driven by one of the creators' own experiences with womanhood:

No, Mizu does not pass as a man because she "hates women" or because she hates herself as a woman or being a woman. There are actual on-screen depictions of Mizu's misogyny, like her interactions with Akemi, and dressing like a man is not an instance of this. Mizu shows no discomfort with being a woman or being seen as a woman, especially when she intends to pass herself as and present as a woman. Mizu also shows the women in the series more grace and consideration than any man in the show, in whatever capacity available to her socially and politically, without revealing herself; many of the women have remarked that she is quite unlike other men, and she's okay with that, too.

When she lives on the farm with Mama and Mikio, Mizu shows no discomfort once she acclimates to the new life. But people take this as conclusive evidence of the "only time" she was happy. She was not. This life was also a dance, a performance. The story of her being both the ronin and the onryō revealed to the audience that this lifestyle also requires her to wear a mask and dance, just as the bride does. This mask is makeup, a wedding dress, and submission, and this performance is her gender as a wife. She still understands that she cannot fully be herself and only begins to express happiness and shed her reservation when she believes she is finally safe to be herself. Only to be betrayed. Being a man is her safety, and it is familiar. Being a boy protected her from the white men as a child, and it might protect her heart now.

Mizu shows no discomfort with being known as a woman, except when it potentially threatens her goals (see Ringo and the "peaches" scene). She also shows no discomfort with being known as, seen as, or referred to as a man. As an adult, she seems okay- even familiar- with people assuming she's a man and placing her into the role of a man. Yet, being born a girl who has boyhood violently imposed upon her (she did not choose what mama did to her) is also an incredibly important part of her lived experience. Being forced into boyhood, but growing into a man anyway became part of who she is. But, being a man isn’t just a part of who she became; it’s also expedient for her goals because men and women are ontologically different in her world and the system she lives under.

She's both because she's neither, because- ontologically- she fits nowhere. When other characters point out how "unlike" a man she is, she just shrugs it off, but not in a "well, yeah, because I'm NOT a man" sort of way, but in an "I'm unlike anyone, period," sort of way. She also does not seem offended by Madam Kaji saying that Mizu’s more man than any who have walked through her door.

(Mizu doesn’t even see herself as human, let alone a woman, as so defined by her society. And knowing that creators have stated her future arc is about coming into her “feminine era” or energy, I am actually scared that this show might fall into the trope of “domesticating”/“taming” the independent woman, complete with an allegory that her anger and lack of human-ness [in Mizu’s mind] is a result of a woman having too much “masculine energy” or being masculine in contravention of womanness.)

Some also seem to forget that once Mama and Mikio are dead, no one knows who she is or where she came from. They do not have her background, and they do not know about the bounty on her (who levied the bounty and why has not yet been explained). After their deaths, she could have gone free and started anew somehow. But in that moment, she chose to go back to life as a man and chose to pursue revenge for the circumstances of her birth. Going forward, this identity is no longer imposed upon her by Mama, or a result of erroneous conclusions from local kids and Master Eiji; it was because she wanted people to see her as a man and she was familiar with navigating her world, and thus her future, as a man. And it was because she was angry, too, and only men can act on their anger.

I do think it important to note that Mizu really began to allow herself to be vulnerable and open as a woman, until she was betrayed. The question I've been rattling around is: is this because she began to feel safe for the first time in her life, or is this part of how she sees women ontologically? Because she immediately returns to being a man and emotionally hard following her betrayal. But, she does seem willing to confide in Master Eiji, seek his advice, and convey her anxieties to him.

Being a man also confines Mizu to strict social boxes, and passing herself as a man is also dangerous.

Mizu doesn't suddenly get to do everything and anything she wants because she passes as a man. She has to consider her safety and the danger of her sex being "found out." She must also consider what will draw unnecessary attention to her and distract her from her goals. Many viewers, for example, were indignant that she did not offer to chaperone the mother and daughter and, instead, left them to the cold, only to drop some money at their feet later. The indignity fails consider that while she could bribe herself inside while passing as a man, she could not bribe in two strangers. Mizu is a strange man to that woman and does not necessarily have the social position to advocate for the mother and daughter. She also must consider that causing small social stirs would distract from her goals and draw certain attention to her. Mizu is also on a dangerous and violent quest.

Edo Japan was governed by strict class, age, and gender rules. Those rules applied to men as well as women. Mizu is still expected to act within these strict rules when she's a man. Being a man might allow her to pursue revenge, but she's still expected to put herself forward as a man, and that means following all the specific rules that apply to her class as a samurai, an artisan (or artist), and a man. That wide-brimmed hat, those orange-tinted glasses, and her laconic tendencies are also part of a performance. Being a boy is the first mask she wore and dance she performed, and she was originally (and tragically) forced into it.

Challenging the normative identities of her society does not guarantee her safety. She has limitations because of her "otherness," and the transgression of sex-prescribed roles has often landed people in hot water as opposed to saving them from boiling. Mizu is passing herself off as a man every day of her life at great risk to her. If her sex is "found out" on a larger scale, society won’t resort to or just start treating her as a woman. There are far worse fates than being perceived as a woman, and hers would not simply be a tsk-tsk, slap on the wrist; now you have to wear makeup. Let's not treat being a woman-- even with all the pressures, standards, fears, and risks that come with existing as a woman-- as the worst consequence for being ‘found out’ for transgressing normative identity.

The violence Mizu would face upon being "found out" won’t only be a consequence of being a "girl." Consider not just the fact she is female and “cross-dressing” (outside of theater), but also that she is a racial minority.

I also feel like many cis-het people either ignore or just cannot see the queerness in challenging gender roles (and thus also in stories that revolve around a subversion of sex-prescribed gender). They may not know how queerness-- or "otherness"-- leads to challenging strict social stratifications and binaries nor how challenging them is seen by the larger society as queer ("strange," "suspicious," "unconventional," even "dishonorable," and "fraudulent"), even when "queerness" (as in LGBTQ+) was not yet a concept as we understand it today.

Gender and sexuality- and the language we use to communicate who we are- varies greatly across time and culture. Edo Japan was governed by strict rules on what hairstyles, clothes, and weapons could be worn by which gender, age, and social group, and this was often enshrined in law. There were specific rules about who could have sex with whom and how. These values and rules were distinctly Japanese and would not incorporate Western influences until the late 1800s. Class was one of the most consequential features to define a person's fate in feudal Japan, and gender was quite stratified. This does not mean it's inappropriate for genderqueer people to see themselves in Mizu, nor does this mean that gender-variant identities didn’t exist in Edo Japan.

People in the past did not use the same language we do today to refer to themselves. Example: Alexander The Great did not call himself a "bisexual." We all understand this. However, there is a very weird trend of people using these differences in language and cultures across time to deny aspects of a historical person's life that societies today consider taboo, whether these aspects were considered taboo during that historical time period or not. Same example: people on Twitter complaining that Netflix "made" Alexander The Great "gay," and after people push back and point out that the man did, in fact, love and fuck men, hitting back with "homosexuality wasn't even a word back then" or "modern identity didn't exist back then." Sure, that word did not exist in 300s BCE Macedonia, but that doesn't mean the man didn't love men, nor does that mean that we can't recognize that he'd be considered "queer" by today's standards and language.

Genderqueer, as a word and as the concept is understood today, did not exist in feudal Japan, but the people did and feudal Japan had its own terms and concepts that referred to gender variance. But while the show takes place in Edo Japan, it is a modern adult animation series made by a French studio and two Americans (nationality). Mizu is additionally a fictional character, not a historical figure. She was not created in a vacuum. She was created in the 21st century and co-written by a man who got his start writing for Sex in the City and hails from a country that is in the midst of a giant moral panic about genderqueer/gender-variant people and gender non-conforming people.

This series was created by two Americans (nationality) for an American company. In some parts of that country, there are laws on the book strictly defining the bounds of men and women and dictating what clothes men and women could be prosecuted for wearing. Changes in language and identity over time mean that we can recognize that if Mizu lived in modern Texas, the law would consider her a drag performer, and modern political movements in the show creators' home country would include her under the queer umbrella.

So, yeah, there will also be genderqueer people who see themselves in Mizu, and there will be genderqueer fans who are firm about Mizu being queer to them and in their “headcanons.” The scene setting being Edo Japan, does not negate the modern ideas that influence the show. "Nonbinary didn't exist in Edo Japan" completely ignores that this show was created to explore the liminality of modern racial, gender, class, and normative identities. One of the creators was literally inspired by her own relationship with her biracial identity.

Ultimately, the fact Mizu, at this point in her journey, chooses to present and pass as a man and the fact her presented gender affects relationship dynamics with other characters (see: Taigen) gives this story a queer undertone. And this may have been largely unintentional: "She’s a girl, and he’s a guy, so, of course, they get together," < ignoring how said guy thinks she’s a guy and that she intentionally passes herself as a guy. Audiences ARE going to interpret this as queer because WE don’t live in Edo-era Japan. And I feel like people forget that Mizu can be a woman and the story can still have queer undertones to it at the same time.

”it’s so telling you relate to that post about an autistic person’s experience” wrong. Sometimes it’s just objectively correct like “instructions should be clear and specific” or “some sensations (textures/tastes/lights) feel bad”. I can’t imagine someone who doesn’t agree with those. They’re basic facts.

i want to be feminine, in a drag queen way

i want to be masculine, in a drag king way

i just want to be over the top, flamboyant with absurd amounts of gender. too much gender, even

Precisely because homophobia often operates through the attribution of a damaged, failed, or otherwise abject gender to homosexuals, that is, calling gay men "feminine" or calling lesbians "masculine," and because the homophobic terror over performing homosexual acts, where it exists, is often also a terror over losing proper gender ("no longer being a real or proper man" or "no longer being a real and proper woman"), it seems crucial to retain a theoretical apparatus that will account for how sexuality is regulated through the policing and the shaming of gender.

Endometriosis Pride Flag

PT: Endometriosis Pride Flag /end PT

ID: a flag with four stripes. The bigger one, in light yellow, is on the top of the flag. The three other lines are smaller and squiggly, they look textured, as if they have been drawn with a pencil. Their colors are, from top to bottom, yellow, orange and dark desaturated red. End ID.

Yellow is often used for endometriosis awareness and on the intersex pride flag. I haven't included a sunflower on the design since even though it is used to represent endometriosis sometimes it can also be used to represent invisible disabilities. To avoid any confusion, I've chosen not to directly include it on the flag. However, I still used a mainly orange and yellow color palette to refer to it.

The squiggly lines represents the constant changing in symptoms. There is three squiggly lines placed on different levels of the flag to represent that different people will be impacted on varying levels by endometriosis.

The big light yellow stripe on the top represents groups that people often forget or exclude when it comes to talking about endometriosis: non-cisgender, non-dyadic, CAMAB. Especially intersex people, since endometriosis can cause variations of sex characteristics that lies outside of what is typically considered "male" or "female". More precisely hypoprogesteronism, progesterone resistance and other variations. Endometriosis is also commonly associated with other sex variations (pcos, etc). I wanted this stripe to be the bigger one so that those groups get to be a central part of this flag.

The yellow squigly stripe symbolises pain and fatigue.

The orange squigly stripe represents undiagnosed and misdiagnosed people with endometriosis.

The dark and desaturated red stripe represents community and resilience.

For archival purposes, under the cut is each part of the flag in png.

dennis rodman will literally be like i'm probably mentally bisexual and have a fixation that i want to be with another guy and fantasise about it often and when i find men attractive i like to kiss them and tell them how beautiful they are. but this is completely normal everybody's thought about gay sex before and haven't you kissed male relatives you're close with before yes this is exactly the same thing

[blluespirit]

the level of BRAINROT that shipping has caused in fandom circles is unfathomable to me btw. like two characters will like Be Nice to each and maybe even.... become friends... and next thing I know there's 50+ dissertation length posts discussing how these two characters are made for each other and if the writers do anything but make them canon then they shall be hunted for sport. anyone in fandom that disagrees will be hung drawn and quartered.

sometimes I'll see a post cross my dash where they refer to women as females in a specific kind of tone, and I'll check their blog, and 9 times out of 10 they're a deeply rancid anti-porn/sex can only exist as exploitation preacher, and just a little bit further and bam! the bioessentialism! and I'm like. damn! my batting average is pretty good. what a bunch of freaks.

nonconforming

I love being gender nonconforming, pronoun nonconforming, sex nonconforming, AGAB/ASAB nonconforming, and label nonconforming.

I fucking love being an annoying enigma. I love being a stain on simplicity. I fucking love destroying language.
