and this isn't even getting into harm that's genuinely necessary! i read a book recently that was intended to educate people in healthcare about medical trauma, written by a medical professional who found that there weren't existing resources to help her cope with the aftermath of the extremely traumatic c section that saved her life. the whole tone of the book was "i know you've never thought about this before, but walk with me through this case study" and it's aimed at other medical professionals! it's aimed at the people who are doing this harm, and so many of them think that people aren't allowed to find it harmful just because it's necessary!
so many trauma resources assume that your trauma is from a specific person or people who treated you in a way that society deems unacceptable. if your trauma doesn't fit that profile then you're left sitting there like. idk i dont think most of this stuff applies to me. where are the resources for people like me.
if you were ever scared or in pain and were told that you had to grin and bear it because it's necessary for you to do the thing that scares and hurts you, you are allowed to say that that was traumatic. you are allowed to say that you were scared and in pain and that even if this was the least bad option, even if it was lifesaving, it still was not okay. something being necessary does not inherently make it okay.
At least two Black women in Florida were forced into courtroom-style hearings while in labor after refusing cesarean sections, with judges b
this is fucking insane. two different cases in Florida where pregnant Black women were forced into video call court proceedings, in the middle of labor, laying in their hospital beds, because their doctors chose to go after them for refusing cesarean sections.
the first woman was able to convince them to let her continue laboring unless it became medically necessary, and ultimately chose to go through with the C-section of her own accord later.
the second woman was completely denied autonomy and the C-section was performed against her will.
the white man who prosecuted them defends the decision, stating on the record "I'm real comfortable with what we did here. I hate that she's upset about it."
the two women mentioned here, Cherise and Brianna, are calling on supporters to sign their petition to these two hospitals to:
"Stop forcing pregnant people to have cesarean births.
Take all necessary steps to end discriminatory policies and practices based on sex, gender, pregnancy status, and race.
Discipline the doctors and hospital staff who ignored Doyley and Bennettās concerns and coerced them to undergo a court-ordered C-section against their will.
Publicly acknowledge and provide financial relief for the harm UF Health caused to the Doyley family and Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare inflicted on the Bennett family."
Cherise Doyley was 12 hours into labor at University of Florida Health (UF Health) Jacksonville when a nurse walked in with a bedsheet and t
You can keep up with Cherise on her Instagram page here, where she is posting updates and generally about being a survivor, doula, and birth justice activist.
every marginalized demographic that contains men has a men's rights movement and all of them will resentfully insist that any criticism for their misogynistic behavior is really just prejudice towards their marginalized group & say the evidence is that this criticism is only ever directed at their demographic. and it's literally not. even the insistence that it's unique is not unique.

Not stupid! I have a bunch of overall āstructuralā complaints about the way these diagrams theorise sex/gender, and also a bunch of more minor/petty complaints about individual components. My overall critique is that they are transphobic and intersexist despite their (supposed) function to do the opposite.
First, I think itās important to state what the purpose of these diagrams are. They are an educational tool that act as a theoretical intervention into dominant societal conceptions of gender - ie, vagina = girl, penis = boy. The central way this intervention happens is by disaggregating various components of what usually get lumped together as āgenderā (but NOT sex, which is an important distinction I will return to later). This is meant to show people that gender is actually a lot more complicated than they might think, and by disaggregating these various gendered components, you can demonstrate how LGBTQ+ people āfit intoā these components.Ā
I think itās also important to talk about the visual tradition these diagrams are drawing from, which are anatomical diagrams of the human body shown to children and students for the purposes of teaching them about the human body. These āgender diagramsā metaphorise the concept of āanatomyā by superimposing non-anatomical traits onto various organs of an abstracted human form (bear/unicorn/gingerbread). The fact that they are animals or baked goods as opposed to human bodies is very important in their visual language - they are necessarily metaphorical. This āanatomy of genderā is aĀ socialĀ anatomy.
So whatās the problem with doing this? I donāt think thereās any inherent problem with this - for example, trans people often have to explain that sex is an assemblage of traits that are not binary, mutually exclusive, or immutable. You could make a āsex trait unicornā to show that sex isnāt ājustā genes or gametes or sexual organs or reproductive capacity or physical traits or birth certificates or etc, and I think that would probably be fine. But these specific diagrams are, perhaps contrary to their purpose, reaffirming this sex/gender aggregation through disaggregating them.
So, getting to the structural critique, I think the biggest theoretical problem with these diagrams are their āorgan-nessā - the heart is where sexuality is contained, the head is where identity is contained, and the⦠chromosomes between your legs are where sex is contained. It visually communicates that bodily organs are distinct containers for gendered/sexed traits. There are several problems with this, so letās go organ by organ:
(this is getting long so I'm putting the rest under a cut)
The brain š§ - this is where identity is āstoredā in the human body. Identity is a thing inside you that arises from your thoughts, the ācontentsā of your brain. If I were being really uncharitable towards these diagrams, they argue that gender identity is the delusion of how you see yourself that doesnāt interact with/reflect the rest of your body or person. I can āidentify as a manā while every other gendered component of myself āis a woman.ā Which like, I don't āidentifyā as a man, I am a man lol. More charitably, I think itās trying to communicate the fact that trans people discover that their gender identity is in conflict with the rest of themselves, and seek to address this conflict through various forms of transition.
Even taking the charitable view, I think this is still deeply problematic. Just using my own experience, I did not ādiscoverā my gender identity in my head, I discovered it socially - dissociating during sex, friction in romantic relationships, problems with family members, difficulty socialising, being ostracised by peers, forcible assignment of femininity by my parents and especially my mother, and so on. Placing gender identity in the brain visually argues that gender identity can be discovered/thought of in isolation to the social world, because it is a symptom that comes out of a discrete organ, the brain (this is the transmedicalist view of transgenderism - gender identity is a mental illness that needs to be medically treated). This is where the visual tradition of anatomical diagrams works against these gender diagrams, reinforcing the biological view of gender despite the attempts to challenge it.Ā
The heart ā¤ļø - Now this one is a bit more abstracted and āapolitical,ā because the diagrams all use the heart symbol ā¤ļø as opposed to the anatomical heart š«, but I think my criticism still stands, because it is part of the anatomical metaphor of the diagram. I donāt think you can extricate the fairly inoffensive visual association of heart = attraction from the rest of the diagram. The heart is the organ that stores sexuality and attraction, just like the brain is the organ that stores identity, and this sexuality/attraction can be isolated and identified from the rest of yourself. It is just as internal and divorced from the social world as identity is. Itās also bizarrely disaggregated in the unicorn and bear diagrams as physical and emotional attraction lol? What does emotional attraction even mean. I became emotionally āattractedā to all my friends after getting close to them even though Iām not physically attracted to most of them, so I guess Iām demi-pan-emotional? This feels like a more minor nitpick, but itās part of this containerisation of gendered traits, the idea that you can neatly divide emotional and physical attraction. They are āseparate symptomsā of the heart.
The chromosomes 𧬠- probably the easiest one to critique, and imo is the most egregious. Even mainstream pro-trans critiques of sex, which heavily rely on medical authority as the basis of their critique, argue that chromosomes are not āwhat sex is.ā As I laid out above, sex is an assemblage of things that are ideologically bundled together for the purposes of enforcing a set of social systems, such as patriarchy and cissexualism. Using chromosomes to represent sex is an argument that sex is an immutable facet of the body that cannot be changed - even if you take HRT, have surgery, change all of your sex markers on your documents, and live your life as your gender, your sex hasnāt changed because you didnāt āchangeā your chromosomes. You will always be a biological male or female. Sex, these diagrams argue, is a biological essence, and ābiologicalā is a stand-in for immutable, mutually exclusive, and unalterable.Ā
The other insidious part of this is that the chromosomes replace genitals in the diagram - you canāt show a penis or vagina to your audience, thatās icky and gross, so you use chromosomes instead. Itās the only place on the anatomical diagram where the organ is replaced by a non-organ, and the absence of genital organs only draws attention to the āgenitalityā (to use Butlerās term) of chromosomes as a stand-in for sex. It is straightforwardly a transphobic and intersexist depiction of sex. The associated graph with it is even worse, placing āintersexā in between āmaleā and āfemale,ā as if intersex is an undifferentiated amalgam of male/female sexual traits. It upholds the idea that intersex people are just sexually fucked up and have the āwrongā parts of M/F sex combined together, which again, canāt be altered. Which is ridiculous and contrary to reality! One of the core bases of intersexism is that doctors are very much invested in changing the sex of intersex infants, children, and adults through forced surgery and hormones to ācorrectā a pathological incongruence of sex to either an acceptable āmaleā or āfemaleā sex. This is what I meant earlier when I said this diagram might attempt to challenge was gender is, but not sex. It partitions sex off from gender as the stable immutable part of the body, which gender is then overlaid āon top ofā (Butler also critiques this view in Bodies That Matter), which is, again, a transphobic and transmedicalist view of sex and gender.Ā These diagrams beat you over the head with this point - the gender expression component is a dotted line traced over the body of the unicorn/bear/ginderbread. It is segmented and ephemeral in contrast to the solid lines of the body. Crucially, gender expression never touches their bodies. Gender expression is a thing that can be removed or changed, revealing the true biological essence of the body, which remains intact beneath its facade.
My more minor grievances are that these diagrams are visually ugly and infantilising. It is the queer equivalent of telling children to call a vagina a hoo-ha and a penis a ding-dong. I hate how infantilised and cutesy mainstream queer art and branding is. Iām an adult, Iām not a fucking unicorn or bear or āgingerbread person,ā use plain visual language in your educational guides for the love of god. Trans minors also deserve proper representation and education that isnāt this quirky horseshit. The amount of abstraction going on in these diagrams, coupled with the ugly-ass cutesy aesthetic, obfuscates what is trying to be communicated and ends up (imo) being a poor educational tool, even setting aside the many, many ideological problems with them.Ā
So I think these diagrams are deeply transphobic. They represent ācomponentsā of gender by assigning them to various organs, which re-inscribes gender as biological. They are also really ugly
in the time leading up to the last conclave, SNAP, the survivors network of those abused by priests, started the website conclave watch, which operates as a combination news site / search engine for cardinalsā records of covering up cases of sexual abuse in the church. from their page for pope leo:
As provincial of the Augustinians, Prevost allowed Father James Ray, a priest then accused of abusing minors whose ministry had been restricted since 1991, to reside at the Augustinians' St. John Stone Friary in Chicago in 2000, despite its proximity to a Catholic elementary school. When Prevost was Bishop of Chiclayo, three victims reported to civil authorities in 2022 after there was no movement on their canonical case filed through the diocese. Victims have since claimed Prevost failed to open an investigation, sent inadequate information to Rome, and that the diocese allowed the priest to continue saying mass.
SNAP filed a complaint against Prevost under the popeās 2023 decree Vos estis lux mundi on March 25, 2025
Vos estis lux mundi, Pope Francisā 2023 decree, allows any bishop, cardinal, or religious superior to be reported and investigated for abuse or cover-up. These complaints, submitted to the Vatican, are not verdicts of guilt. They are evidence-based calls for investigationāeach meeting the churchās own standard of āserious indicationsā that a violation occurred. In civil terms, this is equivalent to probable cause or reasonable grounds to investigate.
following the election of pope leo, SNAP sent him an exhortation (recommended read) to establish a zero-tolerance law combatting sexual abuse and the continued vatican presence, often in high positions, of priests who have raped children. as of january of 2026, this law has not taken effect. from SNAPās january 7 report on pope leo (the links take you to conclave watch and SNAP articles explaining these things in detail):
In his first interview, he dismissed the need for major reform, rejected instituting a universal zero-tolerance law, emphasized the rights of accused priests over the safety of children, and appointed a known enemy of transparency to succeed him in one of the Vaticanās most powerful offices overseeing bishops worldwide.
