Intersex Insights

14/ it's not "trendy to be trans" than it was "trendy to be bi" in the 1990s - just more awareness and more open discussion and acceptance of these variations in the human condition.

13/ reducing stress can improve working memory either instead of or in conjunction with medications.

And, we also have empowerment with vocabulary for these things.

Incidence of these variations in people isn't on the increase; just the awareness of them and the freedom to express these things.

12/ screening, and also better understanding in society to accept these neurodivergences.

And for us ADHDers, thankfully doctors know that women can have ADHD, too, and that it isn't just a childhood thing. Detection and screening has vastly improved, and therapy and mental exercises and

11/ by doctors and parents who force-assign a gender onto that child and often perform unconsented sex reassignment surgeries - on infants, before you even know what that intersex child's gender orientation is.

And autistics and adhders being more common? No. There is just more awareness, more

10/ spectrum rather than binary.

The reason we see more trans people coming out, is that we are empowered with vocabulary and people are realizing they can correct their bodies to align with their brains.

And we intersex people started to speak out because the injustices against intersex children

9/ felt. When at age 14 I learned about the intersex thing, the way I felt and my internal "body map" finally began to make sense.

And intersex people like me have existed for as long as humanity has existed. Every species with bidmodal sexes tend to exhibit a biological sex that is a bimodal

8/ thing is, at 12 years old I still had no idea I am intersex (but had become increasingly curious about my scars and my mother's fixation and secrecy about my scars), and I had no idea that trans people exist. All I knew was estrogen would give me the body that fits my brain's body map and how I

7/and benign tumors" would have resulted in.

I learned what the urologist said I had (hermaphroditism) meant at age 14, and my mother and I had a confrontation because I had learned I was on testosterone. I was livid, because two years prior I had told her I wanted to be on estrogen. The weird

6/ complicated by the fact that i was shamed into silence. We never once had open conversations about my intersex status.

Whenever she said this, i tried pressing for details and every time she refused to discuss it, just like she refused to discuss my scars, which were more extensive than "hernia

5/ asked my mom about estrogen. With each of these conversations she said something word for word, thst I'd hear verbatim in several more conversations that followed over the years: "we paid a lot of money to have that fixed." I didn't have the LGBT vocabulary we have today, and it was also

4/ from urology appointments but had no idea what it meant and my mother would not discuss it.

I tried to have aeveral conversarions with my mother about sex and gender but was not equipped with the vocabulary. We had conversations about it when I was four, then seven, and then hen I was 12 I

3/ in silence

And, autistic people would be outcasts, misunderstood, ostricized. Same with us ADHDers.

When I was 12 and feeling like I was trans but lacking the vocabulary to express it, I had no idea yet I am intersex. I didn't even know the word intersex yet; I did know the word hermaphroditism

2/ when I was a kid. Except you did; it is that we did not have the vocabulary to communicate and express these ideas, and it was either suppressed and persecuted to the point that people keep closeted to avoid persecution, thus struggling wirh anxiety, depression, and often suicide.people suffered

1/Have you figured out yet why it seems like "everybody is becoming trans" and "everyone is autisic" or "everyone has adhd" these days. Before those, it was "everybody is turning bi" and before that it was "ewww everybody is turning gay" which of course was followed up by "we didn't have that happen

4/--

Elementary science: there is only male and female

Advanced biology: intersex people exist, and human biological sex is a spectrum

3/ have taste buds on our tongue, esophagus, inner cheeks, roof of the mouth, and even gums, with the greatest concentration being on the top of the tongue. Also basic tastes include umami, pugnancy (heat like chilis, wasabi), and an as-yet unnamed fat taste.

2/ also photons never age because they do not experience time as they move at the speed of light for as long as they exist. They are packets of energy, not matter.

Elementary science: taste buds are on the tongue and there are four basic tastes: sweet, salty, bitter, sour

Advanced science: we

1/ Elementary school science: water is wet

Advanced science: water is not itself wet; it is a wetting agent.

--
Elementary science: photons are made of light but have no mass

Quantum physics: photons have no _rest mass_ but does have moving mass, aka _relativistic mass_ and thus has momentum, and

Donald has already failed. He and his entire regime are dawned already. After the midterms they will be removed and prosecuted. What we just saw in November was just a blue ripple; a blue megatsunami is coming.

On “The Necessary Conversation” podcast, Chad’s Trump supporter parents tell him the military should follow Trump’s illegal orders and kill everyone in LA if Trump commanded it — even with him and his sister in the city😳

Every penny of taxpayer money they've been given, must be clawed back. This goes quintuply for Elon.

When we get MAGA out of office and in prison making small rocks from big rocks (or convicted for capital treason) we need you to go after the oligarchs next and seize all of their ill-gotten wealth and ban them from ever holding office or any companies. Leave them with only poverty-level stipends.

“Quiet piggy”

“You’re ugly inside and out”

“Are you stupid? Are you a stupid person?”

This is how the President speaks to female journalists.

The men in the room need to stand up for their colleagues.

Demand better.

Don’t let him demean women this way.

More things we wish Donald would do:

* Visit the titanic in a carbon fiber submersible
* Quit getting vaccinations and go out licking doorknobs
* Discontinue all medications, since science is stupid and all medication is poison
* huff lysol to prevent COVID

Things we wish Donald would do:

* Step on the third rail
* Play golf in a Florida thunderstorm
* Play in traffic
* Quadruple his cocaine consumption
* Quintuple his Big Mac consumption
* Exercise even less
* Cut secret service pay and benefits
* slash ATC pay and benfits then fly _way_ more often

Talk about out of touch... holy fuck you Republicans are so fucking dense that if you gain any more mass you'd collapse into a singularity!!

New rule: the GOP should be referred to as the degenerate matter party, for both the quantum mechanics metaphor and because they ARE degenerates.
