there's a lot of pressure in certain, i would like to say mostly online, queer spaces to cordon non-binary people into only having certain types of relationships to the gender binary; and it sucks deep ass, moreso because it's often nonbinary people doing it

the scrotum IS labia and vice versa. the clitoris IS a penis and vice versa. the prostate IS Skene's glands and vice versa. ovaries ARE testicles and vice versa.

said another way, there are scrotolabial folds which can develop into a fused or non-fused form, or even be incompletely fused. intermediate forms for the same organ which develops into both "the prostate" and "Skene's glands" exist. gonads have two primary adult morphs, but plenty of people's endocrine systems are "sex-intermediate"

it's so interesting that people today will hear about the single-sex theory that was prevalent in Medieval European thought and laugh about it, as if that's such a silly idea

instead of, you know, being essentially the modern interpretation of the embryological evidence of sex differentiation in humans

cis (derogatory)

if you think that coercively locking people up for harmless behaviors you think are weird isn't ableism, I invite you to read literally anything about the history of mental institutions

psa please do not censor slurs or common triggers (e.g. sl*r). on fedi. you're doing more harm than good cause people who do not want to see these words at all can filter these words from their timeline entirely, but that will be bypassed if you censor.

Yeah maining one gender is good, but using only that gender just isn't viable in the current meta. You'll need some side genders too if you wanna stay competitive

Any time you see something like "first transgender woman to do X," or "first transgender man to do Z," consider that they're actually likely the first *openly* transgender person to do that. We're everywhere & always have been.

the fallacy of the free speech arguments on social networks is considering who is banned more than who is actually terrified to the point of silence. mostly because only one group is actually visible.

if you're running a social network: if you don't ban the violent, you're effectively banning the victims who flee. the choice says a lot.
