From what I’ve heard, that Twitter user is right. ACTUAL intersex people (not self diagnosed) do not want to be associated with trans. They are not trans, they are people coping with a birth defect- one that often can cause debilitating symptoms. There’s some intersex syndromes that even cause lowered IQ.
I always wonder if these people realize that being intersex isn’t just ‘uwu I have a penis but Im sooo girly I bet there’s a uterus in there!’ It’s a disorder. Depending on which one you have it can lead to heart problems, lymphadema, learning disabilities, osteoporosis and even obvious physical signs like a webbed neck, extra short stature…
It’s an actual disorder not a feeling of ‘not being manly enough’. I’m not even intersex and it still makes me mad that all these troons are self diagnosing rare chromosomal disorders.
As somebody who actually had to pass bio classes (and has ended up being taint deep in the medical documentation...repeatedly): It
can be a chromosomal disorder.
Somewhat more common and possibly underdiagnosed are the genetic disorders which just fuck with your endocrine system. You'll have the right chromosome count with these, it's just your body won't
notice easily the hormone levels. There's also shit like pollution, drug exposure (pretty much same reason), and just general fuckery during prenatal development.
But it's
definitely an actual disorder, and
most are going to be pissed about this because, well, it invariably has some serious health consequences, even if it's just that your reproductive tract is a disaster. But...we don't actually
know the rates of occurrence, though, for many of the same reasons we got problems with docs who think amholes are A-OK and just like real vaginas.
And, um, if you got a uterus wedged up in there? You 100%
will know by the time you're 14 or so. You'll either have been sent to the ER because of it...or the morgue. Waste not leaving the body is Not Good. Seriously. It's like none of these troons have the slightest idea how ladyparts actually work. Sometimes it makes me wonder if the ones with alleged biokids had them via turkey baster, or are also unaware of what it means if a woman you've never put your pp in is telling you she's preggers with your kid.
I mentioned this before, but Kevin has an itch he can't quite reach. He's permanently wanting to coom but cannot because he destroyed his physical pleasure center. I don't think he full admits that damage to himself, I think he's still in cope mode. He wants to be a boy in the bedroom "on his terms" because he could coom back then, so he could reach the itch and make it go away for at least a little while but deep down he and we know what he did he can't come back from.
I believe the mask is slipping, the cope isn't strong enough, and Kevin is starting to have to meet the eye of the abyss he created.
EDIT: fixed wording.
...That is fixable by mad neuroscience, though.
On the other hand, I don't think I could bring myself to actually install a stimulator into somebody's pleasure centers
and give them the button to activate it. I mean, look at Kev. Kev already is a failure at self-care. Imagine what'd happen if you gave him a rig that's
known to cause subjects to just...keep hitting the button instead of literally anything else. (No, seriously, you actually have to be pretty careful to make sure the poor ratties you do something like that to will stop pressing the lever long enough to eat and drink.)
Also re: the gradual ruination of the rainbow flag, I'm kind of amazed that idpol freaks don't understand how symbols work, considering that they're largely college grads who spend all their time engaged in verbal battles and language games. Obviously cramming more and more referents into a single symbol like the pride flag or the never-ending acronym dilutes its meaning, its clarity, and the ability of normal people to engage with it. The original rainbow flag (which to be fair I see a lot more IRL than this "progress flag" abortion) is an attractive, eye-catching symbol which represents LGBT culture generally. Every non-standard gender/sexual/romantic identity or expression is implicitly included already. Other pride flags exist for other identities already, a trend I think is stupid but... there's already an intersex flag. Intersex isn't really LGBT, but if it was it would already be included under the meaning of the rainbow flag, which I've always understood to be quite broad. I think even normies know that there's a million different flavors of gay now and that the rainbow flag is for all of them (it's a spectrum get it?).
But because intersex isn't explicitly included by being visually included on the flag, let's change the flag. Oh hey also we have to be intersectional so could you shove race into this flag that's about gender and sexuality? Yes I think visually including black and brown people by putting actual black and brown stripes on a rainbow is extremely tasteful. Oh intersex? Cram it on there, let's start cut-and-pasting pieces of pride flags together. I kind of can't wait to see how fucked it'll get before even these people find it too ridiculous to use.
Honestly, I suspect it's a pretty good way if you're LGBT already to figure out who to avoid if you're not a Leftie--might finally make it a bit easier for the non-Leftie ones to find each other and be out instead of stuck deep in the closet, in that magical land where you get to be a
human instead of a pet minority, if the Leftie ones all adopt the 'progress flag' instead.
I mean, as some others here have already pointed out, it's possible to be LGBT and
not a Leftie...but the thing is that it tends to be easier to be Out in a conservative Christian church than it is to be
not Left of Stalin in far too many LGBT circles.
Also: Idpol freaks generally are at the bottom rung of college grads--they're the ones who got degrees in things like Grievance Studies, which are near-universally mini diploma mills, and pretty much have
no hope of paying off their student loans because their degree makes them not very employable on a
good day. Notice that while they spend all their time engaged in verbal battles and language games--they aren't
good at them. I've even seen 'em get owned in battles of wits by actual, literal tards.
I mean, there's a
reason I have said that if Kevvy had been shipped off to some very non-picky college, those would be the general region he'd have majored in. The version of Kev we've actually got is probably still more useful to society and productive on all levels than
that version would have been.
