i used to think like this too. but the implication that you are embarrassing yourself is entertaining a notion that a voyeur is steadily dwelling on the actions of one individual. out of hundreds of thousands. it’s a very self-centered thought process to assume that your fractional moments are so noteworthy and memorable. i don’t consider fleeting and perfunctory ticks to be of a defining nature because who am i to decide what is and what is not normalcy. existence itself is subjective; from beliefs to the concept of morality. what is normal to the spider is chaos to the fly. embarrassment is a made up sensation cultivated over time. it is man made and merely a form of paranoia; a product of insecurity. get out of your own head and enjoy life with me out here friend. there is truly no freer feeling.

Also, the opposite of intersex is perisex. You can be cis or trans, while being intersex or perisex. If you’re not intersex, you are perisex.

Nobody knows anything about intersex ppl so like. Learn things and educate others so people like me can feel less isolated and alienated by other queer ppl lol
