Ipsogender is a gender modality for “cis intersex” individuals. It refers to intersex individuals who identify with the gender assigned to them at birth- either because they were coercively assigned a gender, or because it was not known they were intersex until later in life, making them "cis".

Ultergender is a gender modality for “trans intersex” people. It describes intersex people who identify as a gender other than their assigned gender at birth, but do not feel the term “transgender” describes them, because of being intersex.

( Image 1 ID: A five striped flag, the colors going as follows from top to bottom, purple, yellow, white, yellow, purple. From the left side, there are blocks on each stripe incrementally increasing in length and becoming lighter gray prior to the center stripe, then decreasing in length and becoming darker gray after the center stripe. End ID. )

( Image 2 ID: A mostly purple flag with a yellow circle with a plus inside of it. There are also blocks on the left side of the flag, incrementally increasing in length and becoming lighter gray prior to the circle, and then decreasing in length and becoming darker gray after the circle. End ID. )

Caedulter: An intersex individual who at one point, was Transgender, but due to trauma ( from their own Intersex experiences, Intersexism within Trans- spaces*, etc. ) is now Ultergender. May also be spelled Caedoulter.

Caedipso: An intersex individual who at one point, was Cisgender, but due to trauma ( from their own Intersex experiences, Intersexism from Perisex Cisgender individuals, etc. ) is now Ipsogender. May also be spelled Caedoipso.

Any other Intersex people may use these if you feel like you connect with them! Similar to other Caed- / Caedo- terms, you do not need to be specific or open about your trauma at all.

These are terms that are roughly based on the other existing Caed- / Caedo- terms but with slightly modified language. They are based off of my personal experiences ( Caedulter) and one of my friend's ( Caedipso ) so please be respectful.

( Perisex people do not be weird, these aren't for you. )

*if you have an issue with the wording here I encourage you to read this addition before jumping to harassing me or others.

You don’t have to transition to present how you want.

You can transition if you want, god knows I am in no place to deny people that right, but you do not have to transition to present how you want.

The right people will respect you regardless.

This is about being trans and gnc but the same applies for other modalities: not wanting to transition or just not being trans doesn’t make you Less gnc. It just makes you cis or iso or ipso.

fix it for THAT relationship in s4

lets say that Five and Lila do get lost again. For seven years. But they never get together. If anything, they get even more disgusted with each other for the first three years. But then something switches in both of them. They both realize that each of them is the only connection to their family that they have left. One day Lila starts crying about how she misses her kids and Five asks “what about Diego?” And they talk about her marriage and everything else and lila cries onto his shoulder and Five is like “ew you got your snot on me” and lila is like “youre my brother in law, wipe it up, damn it”. And eventually they come to Five’s issues too. How he's been feeling depressed and bored all this time working a job that he doesn't care about, and it makes Lila soften up around him, at least a little bit. They still find the strawberry timeline, but by that point, Five is remembering the original apocalypse and waking up in cold sweats every night and Lila is talking every day about the sick feeling in her stomach she gets because she misses Diego and the twins and grace so much. She finds a bracelet in the strawberry timeline. It’s made out of beautiful metal and it has tiny flowers on it. She takes it because Grace loves picking flowers and it reminds her of her family. Five and Lila return after 7 years together and there’s a lot of crying on Lila’s part and it’s still weird for her to see Diego after all this time. Somehow it gets into her mind that she’s been a horrible partner and that he doesnt want her anymore. So she’s still sort of distant with him and it feels weird. He sees the bracelet on her wrist and a look passes between her and Five. He asks “did you screw my wife thing” and it all comes out. Lila starts hysterically crying and the tension breaks and Diego is like “FIVE WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON” and Five yells back “YOU MUST REALLY THINK I’M FUCKING STUPID HUH?” And Diego is like “what’s that supposed to mean”. And five is like “you think I have no morals at all, dumbass? We were lost for seven years in a subway station. Besides, Lila is weird. And I’m sick of her.” Lila explains the significance of the bracelet and how they never stopped looking, even when they were running from criminals or being shot at at, and Diego says something like “I’m sorry that I thought you guys were…doing that” and Five rolls his eyes but says something like “don’t worry about it, just glad to be back” and Lila nods and there are still tears running down her face and says “I missed you guys. So much.” And kisses Diego and hugs her kids. Boom. End scene.

Re: parliament vote, Thomas revealed, Markle setting him up.

I think the 3 things are 3 sides of the same triangle. This is my theory. 

I don’t think Markle needed to set her father up per se since all 3, Thomas, Doria AND Meghan, were using the same pap in the 205-2018 period. 

However, I firmly believe that she ghosted her father a long time before the wedding, but either he wasn’t getting the hint or he was saw a chance to make some money/ sell a recrafted image because he saw that Doria was making her own papstrolls without a peep from Markle.

Doria is excluded from being media revealed because Markle seeded the R card so the media will never reveal Doria or at the very least proceed with extreme caution. 

So Markle knows Thomas is a staged papstroll, but can’t tell the royals the truth. Or even if she did set him up, the pictures were very clearly staged and everyone knew it except the royals who inexplicably believed her explanations when she was clearly ( allegedly) lying on many different things especially involving media. 

Having ( allegedly)  dropped Thomas, she had no legit way to make it public without looking like a cold so and so. 

And perhaps you are correct with your theory that the plan involved some sort of very public fakery to allow him to decline his invitation publicly.

Either way, the media revelation of the staged pap photos was the golden ticket that fell into all their laps. 

Most of the public don’t follow the royals like we do ie they don’t know enough to see that she lied and then used a very feeble excuse to drop him. They don’t see that Doria was doing the same yet remains unscathed, that Markle wished to drop Thomas long before the wedding, if she hadn’t done so already.  

The first they know about any of this is the media revelation. Which the media AND all Markles pretend to be SHOCKED that he was staging pics when it was pretty obvious at the time of publication to everyone that they were staged. 

In comparison, imagine media outing Meghan’s carpark papstrolls framed as SHOCKED to find that they were staged. 

And this revelation is the perfect opportunity for all parties to withdraw. 

I think what was shocking for Thomas was finally facing the fact that his beloved, favourite daughter really had ghosted him and that’s what drove him to hospital. 

It took many months for it to finally sink in and that’s why he kept trying to contact her though his only route was via the media as she wasn’t responding privately. 

Going by Thomas Jnr’s social media, it’s finally sank in and he is done with her. 

****

This makes a lot of sense. 

This is also why I think the Samantha Markle v. Meghan Markle lawsuit is going to be very interesting. If it goes to trial (and right now, that’s up in the air since there are rumors that WME is pressuring Meghan to settle), the mud is going to fly - Samantha will try to ruin Meghan, Harry, and Doria down; Meghan will try to ruin Samantha, Thomas, and Thomas Jr.; and both of them will tell on themselves. It runs in the family, after all.

Most modern AUs envision Fitzjames having a bullshit emails job which I respect, but I heartily believe that even with the freedom of the future he would still be explosives-adjacent, resulting in him being the office Fireworks Guy. Fireworks for just no reason, anywhere anytime. "God this meeting is so boring, they should let me shoot bottlerockets at Francis because he sucks". They're at some bullshit company picnic and Francis is like "are you sure you're licensed for all this?" and Fitzjames manages to get off a single "shut the fuck up Francis, I was in the Navy" immediately before blowing four of his fingers off. Francis rides in the ambulance and waits at his hospital bedside eight hours for the chance to be there when he wakes up and shout I WAS IN THE NAVY TOO, ASSHOLE

Mark Sumner at Daily Kos:

Republicans are finally starting to realize that half the nation is made up of women, and it’s making them nervous.  Not only do women register and vote at rates higher than men, they prefer Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris to Donald Trump by a whopping 13 percentage points, according to the latest ABC News/Ipsos poll. Worse for Republicans, that difference has grown since before the Democratic National Convention, when women preferred Harris by 6 points. “I’m not sure I know what to tell Trump to do to stop that free fall,” a senior Senate Republican aide recently told The Hill. And a Republican pollster struck the same note, saying, “The real challenge right now for Republicans is whether they can perform sufficiently well among men to overcome the deficit among women. Given the prominence of abortion in this year’s race and Trump’s past statements about women, the traditional gender gap could become a gender chasm.” So far, Trump’s current 5-point advantage with men doesn’t seem to compensate for Harris’ edge with women. In the same poll, she leads him by 6 points among likely voters overall.

That women favor Harris should be expected when the Republican Party is putting forward a candidate who has been found liable for sexual abuse and who regularly brags about overturning Roe v. Wade, thereby eliminating the constitutional right to abortion.  It surely hasn’t helped that Trump picked as his running mate Ohio Sen. JD Vance, who seems to value women only by the number of babies they’ve produced. It’s easy to believe that a good amount of the shift over the past two weeks isn’t just because Harris gave such a sterling address at the DNC (though she did). It’s also likely due to the apparently endless stream of video and audio clips showing Vance’s obsession with controlling women’s bodies. But it’s not just Trump and it’s not just Vance. Republicans have spent years hardening the GOP into the party of toxic masculinity and “tradwives” (short for traditional wife and referring to women who participate in “traditional” gender roles). And Republicans seem unable to discuss the Democratic nominee without throwing in a big dollop of misogyny. It’s not like Republicans are keeping it a secret: In 2024, demeaning women is practically the Republican platform.

[...] This year features the first presidential election since Roe was overturned, and the guy who takes credit for that happening is on the ballot. And Trump won’t win women’s support by flip-flop-flipping himself or refusing to answer when asked about a national abortion ban. 

The gender gap is expected to grow this fall at the ballot box, with Kamala Harris (D) having the decided edge with women and Donald Trump (R) having the edge with men.

Trump’s pick of JD Vance as his running mate has done little to quell the GOP’s reliance on sexism to attack Harris.

This upcoming election is the first post-Roe Presidential election, so abortion access and reproductive health issues will be a key issue in mind, especially among women.

Some polls show that Trump's 34 felony convictions have somewhat been a net negative for him. This one from POLITICO-ipsos continues the trend.

This poll was conducted from June 7-9 and had a sample of 1,027 adults, age 18 or older, who were interviewed online; it has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.2 percentage points for all respondents. This is the fourth poll on the Trump prosecutions that POLITICO Magazine has conducted in partnership with Ipsos since last summer.

Twenty-two percent of respondents said that the conviction is important to how they will vote and that it makes them less likely to support Trump. Only 6 percent of respondents took the other side of that question — reporting that the conviction is important to how they will vote and that it makes them more likely to support Trump.

More than twice as many independents say they are now less likely to vote for Trump as opposed to those who are now more inclined to vote for Trump.

In states decided by small margins, a few thousand votes by independents can make a huge difference.

In conversation, don't just say Donald Trump – say convicted felon and adjudicated sex offender Donald Trump. A bit of a mouthful, but successful advertising campaigns are ones that use a lot of repetition. Liberals need to get over their obsessive and counterproductive reluctance to repeat things. If you want to win then repeat a lot.

The Biden-Harris campaign produced this ad to show the difference between what convicted felon and adjudicated sex offender Trump has been doing and what Biden is doing.

Harris-Walz Campaign Update!

When we set out on our campaign just 1 month ago, in Maine, it was communicated that we were making an investment in all Americans—regardless of their political creed. So far the campaign has been able to invest resources in 38 states, the district, and two territories. We will continue investing until we have visited all 50 states and the territories. This is a commitment we are making to you, the American people.

We are happy to know that this strategy is also seeing positive results in polling numbers. Using multiple polls, 270towin has been able to establish a map that we feel shows the profits of our efforts.

While we know that the polls may be misleading and the degree of confidence isn't strong, but we will continue to invest in our strategies as they currently are. We must expand our voting base, which is why we have been so heavily investing in Get Out the Vote campaigns, especially on college campuses, a demographic key to our campaign. As seen in other recent polls, which delineate our strength with younger voters.

Lastly, one thing we learned in our down ballot strategy dinner was the races that we felt we could positively impact with additional funding, while also uplifting our campaign as a consequence. The down ballot coattails in some areas can also operate in the reverse. So we are happy to announce we are sending funding down the ballot for some key races!

We are excited to keep this campaign moving and we hope that you will join us! America, we are not going back, we are going forward to tomorrow, where America is united, stronger, and more prosperous for every American.

Android designs of Selene and The Works. (Might be stretching the definition of android here lol.)

Some designs thoughts!

Selene is a research computer on the Moon. So, I gave her wheels inspired by lunar rovers for rolling across the rough terrain. Her lanky limbs are for gently reaching around and picking up samples. I'm not sure why I was so set on giving her a cape, but it can shield her inner mechanics from debris and rays. If I put more thought into it I would've given her compartments for storing samples too...

Her face design inspired by the moon (I'm a sucker for the half-moon-face design choice lol), but one idea is that she has a silver halo to illicit a full moon.

The Works is a military computer on the Earth. His design is more robust and clunky, sort of cobbled together over the years without any humans to maintain him. Colour-wise, inspired by those tan computers from the 1980s and camo patterns. He's a bit rusty and corroded. The hexagonal shelves of computing are pulled right from the script (only, in the script he takes up a whole room, so the hexagons are all over the floor).

His face is inspired mostly by his faceted face display, but I think a screen head would be nifty as well.

Ipsofeminine + Ipsomasculine Flags

"id: two 6 striped flags with two large middle stripes with a thin white stripe between them. the two top and bottom stripes are colored in a mirror pattern. the stripes closest to the middle on the left flag are colored light orange and the outer stripes are colored pink. the right flag is colored light indigo and blue respectively. end id

Ipsofem + Ipsomasc have been coined by intersexfairy and are defined as;

“A gender modality for Ipsogender people who are of a feminine gender identity or transitioning femininely. May be abbreviated as 'ipsofem.’” and “A gender modality for Ipsogender people who are of a masculine gender identity or transitioning masculinely. May be abbreviated as ‘ipsomasc.’”

The flags have been created by myself."
