"It is not Adam's superiority of brains or brawn that gives him his absolute advantage over Eve, but his blockish stupidity. He does not notice, does not listen, is uninterested, indifferent, dumb. He will not relate to her; she must relate herself--in words and actions--to him, and relate him to the rest of Eden. He is entirely satisfied with himself as he is; she must adapt her ways to him. He is immovably fixed at the center of his own attention. To live with him she must agree to be peripheral to him, contingent, secondary." ~ Ursula K. LeGuin, from her essay "Reading Young, Reading Old", in her book "The Wave in the Mind"

equihormonal: a term for when your estrogenic and androgenic levels are relatively equal or almost equal

normohormonal: a term for being neither hyperhormonal or hypohormonal

context and justifications: @isobug defined hypo- and hyper- hormonal terms, referencing hyperandrogenism/hypoandrogenism and hyperestrogenism/hypoestrogenism. equi- doesn't mean in-between hyper or hypo. you could be hypothetically both hypoestrogenic and hypoandrogenic I guess. see https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/normo- for the prefix. there could be an alternative since it alludes norm, but normohormonal isn't necessarily normative, it would just be a 'technical term'. someone could be normoestrogenic while alterandrogenic or interandrogenic (alterhormonal/interhormonal androgenism).

Cool!

Who else pissed at high school biology? Schools really out here teaching us there are two sexes.

If we're strictly going off chromosomes, that would mean there are *12* different sexes. AND there's a condition where some people are born with XX chromosomes but have male phenotypes. AND Y'ALL ARE TEACHING US THAT THERE'S ONLY TWO SEXES? WHY DO I NEED TO SEARCH THIS OUT ON MY OWN, THIS SHOULD BE COMMON KNOWLEDGE

(For those who can't see the image, it includes a list of all Sex chromosome variations I'm aware of, being XX, XY, X, XXX, XXXX, XXXXX, XXY, XXXY, XXXXY, XYY, XXYY, and XXXYY)

The funniest homophobia I ever experienced was a Mormon lady at my work telling me she would accept me being gay because we have to get along as coworkers but I really should consider not being gay because gay people have sex like animals (especially gay men) and she just couldn't stop thinking about it and how gross we are. She started really getting distressed, near tears, and saying 'I can't stop thinking about it. I can't stop." over and over and miming some kind of sex acts with her hands and I was like ?????? What is happening???? One of the other Mormon ladies had to come over and pat her on the back and help her sit down to help her calm down and our boss gave her the afternoon off due to being too upset to work.

"This person has a secret onlyfans!" "This artist does NSFW commissions!" "This author writes porn on the side!" I cannot begin to tell you how swag and awesome that is.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

The world exists in such a baffling state of simultaneous sex-aversion and sex-hegemony. Every social platform on the internet is trying to banish sex workers to the shadow realm but I can't post a tweet without at least two bots replying P U S S Y I N B I O. People are self-censoring sex to seggs and $3× but every other ad you see is still filled with half-naked women. Rightwingers want queer people arrested for so much as existing in the same postal code as a child and are also drumming up a moral panic about how teenage boys aren't getting laid enough. I feel like I'm losing my mind.
