Elphaba Thropp from The Wizard of Oz series is canonically intersex in the novel Wicked (1995)! Her exact variation and traits aren't specified, but it can be inferred she has ambiguous genitalia, and may have experienced IGM.

Some disabled people cant consent due to their disability

Some disabled people cant work due to their disability

Some disabled people cant get an education due to their disability

Some disabled people cant think in language due to their disability

Some disabled people cant show emotions due to their disability

Some disabled people cant have empathy due to their disability

Some disabled people cant drive due to their disability

Some disabled people cant live alone due to their disability

Some disabled people cant be normal and just like non disabled people due to their disability, hence the disability

No its not liberating or a hot take to deny disabled people cant do certain things your just erasing people who have undesirable traits

We wake up afraid from bombing and unfortunately the war return again. 💔💔💔

I'm so afraid about my family and my kids please help us evacuate from this place we are crying now and screaming because of the strength of bombing around us.

please help us everything is very dangerous and we return to the killing people. you can support us and my family by donating or sharing my compaign.

the way white queers ascribe sainthood to Black trans women and completely ignore Black trans men and Black nonbinary people has convinced me more than anything else that they really truly don’t care about any Black trans people beyond wearing us as a little badge they can show off to prove they’re The Good Ones

Friendly reminder that Queer is not just feminine, but also masculine, sometimes both and sometimes neither.

But anyway, people seem to reached the wrong conclusion that Queer is "Women+", "GirlPower", "Female energy" and all that crap, which is...wrong. Is wrong, disrespectful and harmful.

Stand with Queer Refugees in Africa: Peter's Story

Survival Funds for LGBTIQ'S Refugees

My name is Pablo , and I am an LGBTIQ leader and representative here in an emcampment, where we have faced a great deal of homophobia in this environment, including from fellow refugees.

Unfortunately, UNHCR staff, including medical attendants, are homophobic to us and don’t provide services to us. This has been reported several times to the people responsible but help has been in vain. Thus, seeking support from fellow LGBTIQ organizations and individual well-wishers to attain medication from private hospitals in the camp has been difficult.

Additionally, food provided to us, as distributed at present by the UNHCR, is not enough to sustain us for a month which is in a ratio of 1:2 beans and Rice.

Thus, we are seeking support to overcome scarcity and hunger.

We will be very glad to receive any positive feedback in terms of financial help, advice and advocacy support!

Many thanks.

life at the refugee camp is extremely hard for the LGBTQI community since from 2019 when I fled to 2024 due to rampant HOMOPHOBIA within the camp. This was witnessed through daily attacks by homophobic fellow refugees and the co-host community.

LGBTQI refugees live under great fear whereby we're being targeted by the homophobes; this has resulted in severe injuries where these homophobes ambush when armed with machetes. Over time, property has been also lost and even lives where we lost three of our mates in kakuma before I left there. This was witnessed in the recent attack when two LGBTQI refugees were set on fire where they suffered third degree burns, which resulted in one losing his life while the other is on life support in hospital update.

In addition, sexual harassment has also been witnessed here in refugee camp to the LGBTQI community. Lesbians on several occasions have been raped not once but twice. Beyond any reasonable doubt, this has made the most hostile land for LGBTQI community.

Furthermore, the LGBTQI community lives under great suffering due to the fact we are willing to work to earn a living but fail to get employment opportunities due to our sexual orientation. This has made life so much harder for us minority group, being marginalized amidst these arid areas of camps. We have faced various attacks from homophobes and also illness related to poor standards of living.

Even so, despite all the misery, we try to find some time to kill the stress when celebrating official LGBTIQ days and festivals. Below is when we celebrated the Pride Day and also had some couples officially get married while maintaining a low profile.

Please help and support us to overcome our starvations, get good medications and shelters because as we are now we daily face the same obstacles while sleeping out side😭.

Yours only our hopes.

Hey all, Crips for Esims for Gaza has been purchasing E-sims for people in Gaza and need help to continue their advocacy!

We link them in our Hi Nay episodes but want to remind people to help out if they can and donate! They're an offshoot of the E-sims for Gaza program created by Mirna El-Helbawi, and allow you to, if you are overwhelmed by the E-sims purchasing process, streamline it.

You donate to Crips for Esims for Gaza, and they do it for you. Help these fantastic disabled activists if you're able!

Link in replies so Tumblr doesn't hide this!

After more than a month of disconnection, we are finally back...

-These photos are from today, 11/3/2025.-

Today, I am sharing a glimpse of our new life, where we have started again beside our home that was destroyed by war. Despite the pain and loss, we have not lost hope, and our determination to build a better future for our children remains unshaken.

This Tumblr house we now live in is not just walls—it is a testament to our resilience and to the love and support of everyone who has stood by us. You have always been a community full of kindness and generosity, and today, I share these moments so you can see how the light continues to shine in our hearts despite everything.

-This clip was made yesterday by my daughter Lian to make something for Amir to sleep in and the experiment was successful. This is Amir sleeping.-

But life here is still very difficult. We are still trying to stay strong, and we have built a simple shelter to live in—I will attach photos. We are waiting for the border to open so we can travel, hoping for the day when I can see my children wearing school uniforms, going to learn, playing in safe, undamaged places, eating clean food, and drinking safe water.

For now, we are just trying to survive with what little we have, as the border remains closed to everyone except those with severe medical conditions and critical war injuries.

We need your support once again. I will try to stay connected online and keep sharing photos and videos of our new life. Thank you to everyone standing with us—you are our hope in these difficult times.

one of the intersexist beliefs i haven't personally seen addressed much is that well. even if you tell people you are intersex (after forming a trustful bond or answering questions) they just don't believe you. "you're lying", "is this self diagnosis?", "you just want to feel special". they insist you can't possibly be intersex, no matter how visibly intersex you are. i think part of it is because they don't really see intersex as something humanly, they see having someone intersex in their surronding as absurd and most perisex people actively or passively don't really want to "have intersex people on their own yard". even if they seem supportive and understanding, i don't believe most of them would keep that energy if their loved one, be it their partner or their child or anyone else was intersex. to most perisex people the sheer possibility of us existing is an absurd joke. yes, medical professionals too. actually, espeically medical professionals.

Amidst the rubble and under a sky raining fire, we try to cling to life, but death surrounds us from every direction. No sound is louder than the sound of destruction, and no light is seen except the flames. We run in search of shelter, but we find only fear accompanying us, and hunger gnaws at our hearts before our bodies. Hope has become a deception, salvation a mirage, and every attempt at escape ends in a new cycle of pain.

We are here amidst the ruins of our dreams, carrying pain greater than our lives. What fate awaits me and my family? Will we ever be martyrs, or will we grow? The tree of freedom rings church bells and the takbir is raised in the mosques with the joy of the tree of freedom that has grown over the bodies of martyrs: children, women, and the elderly. Where is humanity, O people of all sects and religions? We await your cry to stop the killing and bloodshed. My family needs your support, and every person in Gaza needs your continued support.Please help me by donating or participating. We are now under bombardment and hunger.Please don't let us die alone here. Donate, share

Everyone listen and don't ignore me, I really need you to help me participate and donate. Today, bombs were dropped near our tent and my family and I were displaced to the north because of the violent bombing. We moved to a far place on foot while we were fasting and we did not find a safe place to sit in. We did not sleep except in the street. I need you. Donate Here

Israel returned to war again. The bombing is everywhere. We are being exterminated here and the whole world is silent.

In a moment, 400 people were killed, most of them children and women.

There is no food, no drink, and no way out of this hell.

We are dying before your eyes please, don’t leave us alone! Save us, do something protest, donate, participate.

I don’t want to die! Please support me with any amount that will promise me to buy food, drink, medicine and survive me and my family
