ok but seriously. once you notice how intersexuality isnt considered at all, its so glaring. distressing. the erasure of intersex existence has been so successful. its so thorough that even other similarly marginalized groups partake in it, and that makes me so sad!! its just so baked in...!!

please consider intersexuality in discussions of sex and gender. that's quite a significant angle to leave out is all i'm saying. like, its just sometimes a big elephant in the room that rarely i see the word intersex from anyone who isnt themselves intersex..!

🫵 You will care about intersex rights. 🫵 You will care about intersex rights past just today.

On this Intersex Awareness Day, listen to Spike’s story & learn more about intersex individuals & the challenges they face. Intersex & transgender aren’t interchangeable terms. Some intersex individuals identify as transgender, but there are just as many intersex people who identify as cisgender.

On October 26, 1996, a brave group of intersex people, backed by transgender allies, demonstrated for the first time against the harms, including nonconsensual surgeries, they’d experienced from doctors. This was declared the first #IntersexAwarenessDay.

When Betsy Driver’s mother took her to medical appointments as a child, she asked whether other children were like her daughter. According to Driver, doctors told her no. Years later, Driver found people with the same intersex variation who had been treated at the same hospital. "We were lied to."

On Intersex Awareness Day, Betsy Driver and Riki Wilchins trace a movement that challenged medical secrecy and is still fighting to make consent matter.

Howard's child Zebb was born intersex. Doctors pushed for cosmetic surgery. “'It’s just the wildest thing to say,' Howard says. 'Because he’s a literal newborn.' And already, someone was predicting his future dissatisfaction with his body and his identity." www.unclosetedmedia.com/p/for-the-pa...

unclosetedmedia.comFor the Parents of Intersex Kids, Deciding how to Proceed Isn’t EasyIn the U.S., thousands of infants with intersex traits undergo medically unnecessary genital surgeries each year, often before they can consent.

Happy Intersex Awareness Day! Here’s some pride art featuring Stevonnie, an intersex non-binary character from Steven Universe. I’ve also included some facts for other perisex (non-intersex) queer folks to know! 💛💜

for progress to happen, we must truly make the effort to actively consider intersexuality. not as a mere afterthought but as another priority in this fight for bodily autonomy.

Today is Intersex Awareness Day. I am intersex – and did not find out until I was 26! Intersex people are also impacted by the decision in FWS, but this is much less talked about. Intersex people continue to be subjected to non-consensual medical interventions. Intersex rights are human rights.

the main thing for miss c red is thats theres red. sometimes theres a blue rose. but the red is consistent.

the one time i broke this pattern was for the cemetery artwork i did for object head zine where i drew her as a blue rose object head

October is the month where I post #art of my horror oc Miss C Red. Shes a shape-shifting nightmare monster. She likes cheesecake, screams, and violin.

murp pesky's name is really funny in the context of what her comic is. its a grungy supernatural story about vermin, violence, and also theres demons. the other main character is called hark. lol.

ideally id love to add a large accessibllty door entrance on the side of the bus as an option, but idk how to make that functional yet. i know its possible. prob not complex to do even. im just a noob to all this still.

oh i never even made a post about it, but i updated my bus mod for sdv again to have an option for a ramp to replace the stairs(?) that pull out.

another minor update was having compatibility with cottoncandy recolor be smoother. before you had to manually choose the snow variant in my mod's config along with cottoncandy's but now whatever you choose in cottoncandy's config will carry over. thank CMCT for that.

i dont even know if anybody even have used the mods together. maybe this wasnt even an issue for anyone. but now it definitely won't be!

make more sense and also theres a character whos in a wheelchair. how the hell does george ride the bus. i mean, maybe you imagine that theres there's been an accessiblity entrance in the back this whole time, but thats all hypothetical. this just wasn't considered.
