Call me Whiskers or whatever idrc. This blog focuses on raising awareness, sharing personal experiences, and connecting with others in the intersex and ATM theory community. I love doing in depth research into topics, esp writing intersex educational essays. I am always learning. I tend to be very verbose as I'm hyperlexic, but I'm also dyslexic and dyscalculic so it's a struggle. While I am 21+, my account is notâoccasional sex ed + kink discussion posts are tagged, and the latter are limited to interaction from bodily adults.
If you like what I do, or appreciate if I've helped you, you can always tip (link) me
I have read over 50 studies regarding anteriorly deflected urinary streams and vulvar/vestibulovaginal hypospadias. If you or someone you know has any questions, lmk (:
Most everything goes onto queue, tho sometimes some things skip the wait. As I have several communication disorders, it will usually take me several business days (weeks) to respond to posts because I can only manage my phone in short bursts, work full time, and am bedbound when I get home.
I use oneself, none, e/ey, hy/hym and kit/fae pronouns

Death, violent, rape threats / jokes, and suibait will not be tolerated. Neither will any form of bigotryâthis means racism, ableism, sanism, classism, fatphobia, and queerphobia (including homophobia, inter+exorsexism, + forms of transphobia [transmisogyny, anti-transmasculinity, transmed / exclusionist beliefs, and transX/transID claims like âtransitioning to intersex / Black / harmful / etcâ]). I'm critical of TransID rhetoric and support alternative terminology. Individuals who use the belligerent language of bigotsâ"misandrodork," "theyfab," or "transandrobro"âwill be blocked on sight. This is not a space welcoming to rad/LSD/basedqueer ideals or forms of fe/male separatism or superiorityânamely MGTOW, masculinists, radfem, febfem, and perisex self-identified bĂŚddels. Following or heavily reblogging from Plaidos (a known transphobe) or Strawberry-Crocodile (a known intersexist) forfeits the presumption of good faith due to the consistent lack of it on their accounts. Support for the Israeli government and its actions conflicts with the Land Back principles and other anti colonial values held in this space

Individuals with BIID where their dysphoria is centered around the physical body rather than "not being disabled" are perfectly fine and welcomed here. I do not mind those with alters who understand that their body does not hold the responsibilities of enduring oppressions their marginalized alter would face (and thus will not be fully capable of understanding oppression regarding that minority), who do not describe their discomfort as being "transrace", and uplift voices of the minorities rather than speaking over ("I have a black/trans/IS/disabled alter so I get to decide what's bigoted" đ)

I was UAAB and grew up as a trans girl, but now I'm growing into something else. I'm CTN and sociopolitically TMA, but don't use it as binaries (especially ones based on birth assignment "privilege") do not reflect my intersex experience, nor is oppression based solely on internal identity, but rather influenced by your material conditions and how you are perceived. I was raised a feminist and became a transfeminist before I ever came out. I believe in Transformative Justice and Community Accountability. Antigonist
I've been transitioning for over a decade as someone who is ambigonadal with a partial androgen resistance. I was part of the transgender craze seducing your daughters before Abigail Shrier even started taking notes. I've been called a bĂŚddel since before Tumblr discovered it. I have survived and prevailed through a forced detransition. I've had more than a handful of people consider me a queer elder. I will remove you as a follower if I catch you being an ass in my notifs to someone I've responded to
I'm autistic, part of a small medically adaptive, disassociative, biconscious atrium collective, and am disabled on many levels. I use mobility aids daily and struggle to get anywhere without them due to my numerous musculoskeletal and soft tissue deformities, along with FND. I also have some disfigurements but don't consider myself Disfigured. I also have exfoliative keratolysis. Radinclu
I cannot tell you if you are intersex or not. I am not interested in going over your intersex OC concepts. I don't mind spam likes/reblogs, but be aware that coming back onto here to a bunch of notifs may startle me. I'm really weird abt compliments and tend to get overwhelmed.

I cannot believe you are what made me discover I also had vaginal hypospadias and not the SEVERAL DOCTORS who have EXAMINED ME???????? Why did none of them think to mention it Iâm in awe. So many invasive tests done on me and yet no mention of my urethra deciding to get up and walk away
I genuinely do not think the average doctor, no matter their specialtyâunless it is SPECIFICALLY about variations in sexual developmentâknows about VH. They usually try to assure patients that everything is totally fine and normal and no you're definitely not weird even if you didn't ask if you were weird, you asked if it was typical or expected
It's also heartwarming to hear that I've been helpful to you !! I'm glad my posts have brought education to so many people who had no idea
â⌠sex assignment is not simply an announcement of the sex that an infant is perceived to be; it also communicates a set of adult desires and expectations. The infantâs future is often being imagined or desired through the act of sex assignment, so sex assignment is not a simple description of anatomical facts, but a way of imagining what they will mean, or should mean. That imagining comes from elsewhere, and it does not exactly stop after sex has been legally or medically determined at birth. The girl continues to be girled; the boy continues to be boyed; and these practices of girling and boying are repeated not just by parents, but also by a range of institutions that greet the child with boxes to be checked and norms to be embodied. In a sense, sex assignment does not happen just once. It is an iterative process, repeated by different actors and institutions, and depending on where one lives, it can be reiterated in ways that are not always in conformity with one another. Sex assignment is not a mechanism, but a process.â

3 things I refuse to feel guilty about as a disabled adult, and think you should too.
PT: 3 things I refuse to feel guilty about as a disabled adult, and think you should too.â End PT
- Needing different aids for different days. Most disabilities are dynamic to some degree, especially the ones I have. Itâs only natural for me to use different accommodations depending on my situation.
- Asking people for help. No one can do everything by themselves, and I and am not excluded from this fact. Everybody needs help. And requiring a bit more assistance does not make me a burden.
- Relying on a disability pension. Despite the stigma, itâs not and never will be a moral failure to be unable to work. Hopefully one day Iâll be able to get a job, but until then, the money I receive helps me get by.
People have already said this but you can't remove the word "trans" from trans men to make it seem like we're nonsensical and "suggesting men are oppressed". It doesn't work like that, because we argue that our oppression is in relation to how transmasculine transition and identity affects our oppression under the patriarchy.
If the basis of what we're arguing includes us being trans, removing the trans part obviously makes it not work, because that's the whole point.
And yet again saying this, the oppression trans people face under the patriarchy does not reflect the dynamic of cis men and women under the patriarchy, because us being trans affects that.

And btw when you are talking about feminism and someone brings up trans men and you say things like "now we're still talking about men" or "'this is a distraction from the issue", youre making a very clear statement that trans men dont have a place in feminism. That talking about transphobia is not compatible with talking about feminism. That the only reason you talk about trans women in feminism is because they're women and not because you see autonomy over your gender or sex and the protection of trans people as important to feminism.
Every day tumblr users get closer and closer to saying you can only be trans in a god honouring way.
Edit: my problem is with the comparison and trying to rate people's transness and who's more transgressive. If you attempt to turn this into a trans guys vs trans girls post you are missing the point.
This is what white supremacy looks like in the trans community. Genuinely.
These screenshots are literally just white supremacist, right wing talking points about conformity to the status quo being more "transgressive" than people who actually transgress social norms. It's quite literally no different than Christians, MAGA, the right wing, etc. thinking they're the ones who are actually oppressed despite engaging with ideas, values, and presentations that have actually been the ruling class status quo for centuries. It's all taken from the same self victimization playbook.
It's especially clear with the 4chan language mixed in that is just white supremacist incel shit, "gigastacy", "mog", "aura" â that's incel forum channer language that's infiltrated broader internet vernacular and it doesn't matter if the OOPs here are actually explicitly 4chan using white supremacists. They're still engaging with 4chan white supremacist language, behavior, and beliefs.
The following is a list of posts, articles, sites etc that talk about transandrophobia and/or anti-transmasculinity, or broader issues and experiences of transmascs that may not use (or even like) this language. I think it's important to look at works from people of all perspectives, and I think it's important for us to be able to look at others' works and see if we can apply our own frameworks (i.e anti-transmasculinity) to the ideas they're presenting as well.
I have also included some texts that I consider foundational to these theories, and I highly recommend reading them to see the frameworks a lot of us are building upon.
Some of these works are much more academic in nature, which I understand is an entry barrier. If anyone needs help with parts of works that you may not understand or would like a second opinion, feel free to DM me or send me an ask and I'll try my best to help out if spoons and time is available.
** = contains more links you should also click through and read thoroughly. Some links may be repeated here, because I think they're also foundational and/or exceptional works.

I still struggle to understand how "women are always rewarded into being masculine" got popular to justify that transmascs are not oppressed for being men. Because like? Around 2010-2018 a very common stereotype was of the manly hairy short haired feminist. To this day people still shit on women who are "too masculine" (aka black and brown women). Like there's a reason women had to fight to be able to wear pants and a woman wearing pants was considered enough to sent her to prison. Like I remember being a teen and seeing either on internet or IRL endless lists of things that would make women too masculine (and that's a bad thing) and like. Piercings. Tattoos. T-shirts. Not wearing make-up. Being atheist. Going to college. Thinking too much. Doing too much weight lifting. They are made fun of. They're raped. They're killed. They're abused. They're kicked out of home when they deny to be what society tells her to be.
Like when you tell me "society always rewards masculinity in women, therefore trans men are rewarded" you're telling me you doesn't have a grasp on how society works in which it assigns you a sex upon birth and want you to stay that gender forever and that what makes a woman feminine or masculine is both cultural and arbitrary. You also show yourself as someone who never thought about it outside your culture and/or social circle. Yes, USAmerican, the women in your culture are able to wear pants and explore their genders (allegedly) and sexuality. But in more conservative areas a women will have her first kid at 15 and be a housewife for the rest of her life married to a guy 20 years older than her, never existing outside a birthing machine, mother and wife. Always beinh punished for having interests outside of it.
That woman in a third world country that tried to cut her hair short got killed off for trying to be too masculine.
That girl in a small conservative town that kissed her girl friend on 9th grade got beaten up and sent to conversion therapy and will come back repressed and will never discover she would like to be a man.
That girl being raised Christian will be a mysogynist to every woman in her life and think all men are dangerous rapists and that her life purpose is to be a mother and a wife and will never get the chance to discover she would like to cut her hair short, dye it, wear masculine clothes and kiss other women.
Your belief that women are always encouraged and rewarded on being masculine and that's why transmascs are not in danger for being man truly shows how you never thought about anyone else that isn't like you. You cannot both claim to be an intersectional feminist and not understand that society only rewards masculinity or femininity on people they believe have the corresponding genitals for it.

The amount of trans youth that are going to be denied a possibly life saving item because of (what I assume) discriminatory laws being passed. It deeply saddens me
For Intersex Jam 2026, I made an informative zine. âIntersex Inclusion: A Crash Course for Creativesâ is a quick primer on how to include intersex experiences in your creative works. The text-only version* is available for free, licensed under CC BY 4.0, and I encourage others to repost and use this zine in place of asking random non-activist intersex folks about how to represent our entire community with dignity.
* (it's supposed to be in comic form, but due to rampant computer crashes, I wasnât able to assemble the artwork into a screen-reader accessible PDF in time for the deadline.)
Overwhelmingly, the most common question I see from allies to random bystanders who just so happen to be publicly intersex is âhow do I include intersex people?â
I know they mean well, but it gets tiring. I hold no enmity for them in my heart; in spite of that, Iâm tired. I want to see folks like me being considered at allâwithout having to see random, non-activist intersex folks awkwardly struggling to rehash the same three points again and again because well-meaning but ignorant allies keep asking the same question of non-activists while prostrating and flagellating themselves over how they didnât spawn into existence as a perfect ally. Itâs such a demanding task that thinking about it makes me want to roll over and take a nap.
Fortunately, I am an old dog incapable of learning new tricks; hence, I am back on my bullshit to provide a bunch of infographics loosely assembled into a zine. I made sure to pack it with resources and citations good for your nutrition, all with love from the universe.
Take my hand. Letâs be inclusive of intersex experiences in our creative works, together.
This is a zine specifically focused on creating and developing intersex characters, how to handle intersexuality in a variety of genres and creative project types, how to worldbuild while conscious of intersexuality, and common pitfalls for uninformed allies new to writing intersex folks. For references more specific to writing, see versegmâs âAn Intersex Writing Referenceâ and Hans Lindahlâs âTips for Writing an Intersex Character with Grace.â
[Content warning: in order to respectfully but realistically talk about intersex history, this zine contains brief, undetailed discussions of topics such as medical gaslighting and abuse, sexual harassment and assault, and medical and sexual abuse against children. These are included strictly for the purpose of educating on intersex history and experiences. Slurs and bigoted or discriminatory language towards intersex folks and traits are included without censorship, also to educate on their history and meaning. Full content warnings are available within the zine itself.]
today Iâll be dropping v0.3 which includes actual section headings and more of the 12+ originally scrapped citations I didnât have the time to correctly format before the deadline đ it is still $0 and freely sharable with credit!
seeing young trans men saying how they feel so âvalidatedâ by people telling them to kill themselves because âat least they see me as a manâ is actually so fucking sad. 15 year old trans boy you do not deserve to be treated like a monster because of the words you use for yourself and the goals you have for your body. you do not need to accept this kind of treatment from your own community in order to prove that youâre not a threat. you are a person. you are a person
the irony of it all. you're so pro transfeminist material analysis until it's a transmasc talking about abortion rights or gyno care or the material reality of having a uterus in this world that oppresses you for it. but none of these people actually read the literature they claim to worship, just like evangelicals and their bibles that they never actually fully read front to cover and instead just cherry pick whatever suits their whims

on another note, it's also... i don't know. i think it's really vile how, within some of these radfem queer spaces, trans men and nonbinary people are often lumped into "less queer" transness together... does that make sense?
when a lot of radfem queer people talk about trans women, for instance, they'll talk about how much of a struggle it is to transition socially and materially. but then some of those same people will turn around and act like nonbinary people are just quirky people who dress androgynously so their social issues don't REALLY matter because absolutely 100% none of them are as "serious" about their transitions. and then trans men are either slotted into that same category OR they're "basically a cis man" in a derogatory way that implies they don't deserve to be in the community if they pass at all.
