How can radfems be better allies to intersex women? (sidenote: what is an intersex woman, does it mean the same as afab intersex?) I feel bad because I know we talk a lot about being female and having XX chromosomes making someone a woman, but I assume some afab intersex people are actually “male”? So what can we do to support intersex people within radical feminism? Sorry if you get this question a lot, and also sorry if this is offensive, if so it really is unintentional x

inferior-mirage:

How do you currently advocate for women with health issues? Intersex disorders fit better into the category of disability and chronic illness activism than anything having to do with gender and sexuality under the LGBT. How do you currently address the lack of research and treatment options for female-specific medical conditions like PCOS and endometriosis? Same principle applies here. Call out the non-intersex nonbinary activists using intersex disorders to argue a third gender marker on government IDs but support the current legislative efforts to ban Intersex Genital Mutilation. (Remember sex isn’t assigned to infants as a “best guess” but rather to fulfill gender stereotypes related to male virility.) Consider the warnings from detransitioned women and intersex females before giving any positive attention to puberty blockers, HRT, or genital surgeries as an option “for those who really want it”. Even now the final results of vaginoplasties sacrifice functionality and sexual sensation over how well it can accommodate a penis. Supporting us requires accepting uncomfortable truths. Having XY chromosomes makes someone a genetic male. Understanding the difference between phenotype and genotype is important to respecting the manifestations of our disorders. (Please check out @star-mut‘s blog if you haven’t already.) Another uncomfortable truth: sometimes the distance between phenotype and genotype matters, particularly when it comes to XY PAIS athletes who might not have a place in a women’s division.

This is a broad question I brought to the attention of our intersex discord for alternate perspectives, thank @radfemflareon for giving such a thoughtful response.

Intersex females don’t have a remarkably different experience than other biological females. Being short and starting puberty early are two symptoms of simple CAH and NCAH. We’re not different than other infertile women or women with hystectomies or postmenopausal women or any of the other groups more recently targeted for exclusion by postmodern feminists. And when we are, don’t be afraid to navigate those differences. Sex blindnesses won’t help feminist aims.

This post must be why I’m having such good luck lately! I’m getting what I deserve! Thanks, OP. Goddess bless this post!

Same!! I’ve been doing so well recently. Glad to have people like OP looking out for us. ❤️

And I just got a job making $40K a year with benefits and $20 an hour every hour I go over 40 a week, so thanks OP. Truly a blessed post.

I got all the classes I signed up for, am going to have a bangin get together with some close friends this weekend complete with dinner and a movie, and I recently started a new show on Netflix that I wholeheartedly enjoy that has 4 whole seasons. Life is good.

I had 6 job interviews on Tuesday and one of them has shown interest

I kinda proposed to my girlfriend a couple days ago and she said yes 🤷🏻‍♀️

Congratulations

lmafo. Wow. Though even this article frames it as us terves being “troubled” about it all. Interestingly, although it wasn’t quoted in the article, they linked to my own reblog observing that it’s “the libfem version of stereotyping feminists as fat ugly dykes with bad haircuts“

I mean I’ve never seen a radical feminist who A: wasn’t a lesbian and B: was attractive by societies definition of beauty. In short I’ve never ran into a radfem or normal feminist that wasn’t fat and ugly. Perhaps all their hate for men stems from the fact that they don’t get any attention from them. Hell they might even be lesbians because they don’t have any other options 

men would literally fuck a jar of peanutbutter, if you’d have no options whatsoever as a female you’d turn straight not lez lmfao

also, not that it matters, but i’m apparently attractive by societies definition of beauty. try checking my selfie tag and decide for yourself 🤷🏻‍♀️

“men would literally fuck a jar of peanutbutter”

I mean…woman fuck hair brushes so…glass houses….Also a hand or fingers are enough for most people so….

if you’d have no options whatsoever as a female you’d turn straight not lez lmfao

I mean men are typically a lot more shallow than woman and base their attraction on looks rather than emotions so..No they’ed turn lez because woman care a lot less about what you look like than men do.
