Friendly reminder to the perisex trans folks

With some regularity I see posts from perisex trans people saying they wish they were intersex because then there'd be a biological explanation of their difference and hence Valid.

I get it. Society is transphobic and you want something to point to, to explain why you are. But as a disabled intersex person I gotta tell you this is a real monkey's paw kind of goal.

Intersex people aren't seen as valid. We're selectively aborted, and the ones who sneak past prenatal "screening" are then surgically and/or chemically mutilated.

Disabled people aren't seen as valid. We're also selectively aborted, and then the medical industry tries to "fix" us. I'm old enough to remember when Down syndrome people were a regular presence in society. Their population has been absolutely decimated by prenatal "screening" even though Down syndrome folks like full, happy lives.

Finding a biological basis for transness is bad news for the trans community. It will be weaponized immediately. Trans folks already suffer from medicalization, why are you asking to turn that knob up all the way?

To the extent that the LGB community has social acceptance, it's because it's not framed as a biological thing. If a LGB gene were identified tomorrow, the selective abortions would start the next day.

HEARTBREAKING: band you just discovered doesn't have any other songs that sound like that

i think too many people operate under the assumption that emotions are some frivilous fantasy of the mind and have no impact on the physical world, which is a cute thought when Humans are an animal that can die from being kinda stressed out

After the Threesome, They Both Take You Home Sue Hyon Bae

even though it’s so very late and they have to report to their jobs in a few hours, they both get in the car, one driving, one shotgun, you in the back like a child needing a drive to settle into sleep, even though one could drive and the other sleep, because they can’t sleep without each other, they’d rather drive you across the city rather than be apart for half an hour, the office buildings lit pointlessly beautiful for nobody expect you to admire their reflections in the water, the lovers too busy talking about tha colleague they don’t like, tomorrow’s dinner plans, how once they bought peaches on a road trip and ate and ate until they could taste it in each other’s poers, they get out of the car together to kiss you goodnight, you who have perfected the ghost goodbye, exiting gatherings noiselessly, leaving only a dahlia-scented perfume, your ribcage compressing to slide through doors ajar and untouched, yesterday you were a flash of white in a pigeon’s blinking eye, in the day few hours old you stand solid and full of other people’s love for each other spilling over, warm leftovers.

It is so fucking sinister that the only form of child abuse that society really cares about is sexual in nature. parents are free to control everything about their child's movement, presentation, eating, faith traditions, information exposure, socialization, and can restrict all of these things to an extreme degree as a form of punishment or in order to shape the child into whatever they want that child to be. and that's all considered completely normal, the parent's right! people don't even see the fact that a parent has the power to control so much about a child's life for damn near 20 years to be a problem. The only time they become concerned about child abuse is when the prospect of an outside stranger behaving in a sexual way toward a child is raised. and yeah a lot of really horrific sexual abuses are enacted unto children, but that's because they have zero control over their own lives and bodies in any other way as well. It is all about power and control. and typically the ones who are abusing children the most frequently are the ones who have the most control over them, the parents.
