Can you please not answer this if it doesn’t come through on anon. 🙏🏽 I don’t really want questions about this on my blog. (It isn’t a shifting blog.)
So basically, I have gotten more into deep lore type scripting for one of my fantasy drs. And it’s really fun because I feel like I can really do anything with it. (I know you always can, but you know.) I like to keep most of my drs like soft sci-fi at most.
But I ended up doing one thing I’m unsure of, and I would like a trans person’s opinion on it.
So basically, I scripted a third sex. (Mostly based on stuff I came up with for a short story.)
Fantasy anatomy, cultural norms, all that.
The third sex isn’t as common, so it’s not like the population is divided into thirds. It’s more of a one in twenty thing. And my s/o is in that one of twenty.
They get kinda fetishized for it. And I didn’t script that out because I like the secondhand attention I end up getting.
And idk if I’m fucked up for this.
(I’m a cis woman in both my cr and dr for context.)
hello , anon ! ♱ i think it is entirely okay to script a third sex into your desired reality . but there’s also a lot more to it than that . . .
i would like to add , though , that there are more than two sexes already . intersex , which is a large umbrella for ( i think ? ) hundreds of different sex variations , already exists in this reality and is as common as redheads . so , just informing you about that .
but i do think that it is weird as fuck that you wouldn’t script out the fetishization of that third sex , especially since you’re doing it to get “ extra attention “ and especially since you’re a ciswoman . intersex discrimination , fetishization , hatred , & more has a long , long history that is still ongoing , which is fucked up as shit . i’m assuming it would be something similar in your desired reality for that third sex , which is nooot fuckin’ cool in my book . if you want to add that specific third sex to your desired reality , just script out the fetishization/discrimination/social stigma that they face . you can still “ get attention “ just for them being a little less common without any of the negative , genuinely impactful , and discriminatory shit that they’ll likely have to face day-to-day .
lgbtqia+ people , including intersex people , are not some eye-candy to take around with you to grab attention , especially when that “ attention “ is quite literally fetishization , which is genuinely harmful as fucking shit and it’s a hop and skip ‘til that fetishization turns into that third sex’s genocide & other discrimination . get rid of the discriminatory shit , including the fetishization ( because it is discrimination and genuinely disgusting , they are not some sex-object for your curiosity collection ) , treat them like just any other regular human being ( because they are ) , and if you want “ extra attention “ because of it , just make it that sorta thing that people are like “ oh cool , you have a rarer sex than we do , that’s pretty cool ! “ , which still probably gets old for your significant other to hear all the damn time .
that’s my opinion about it , but i can’t stop you from doing anything . if you decide you’re cool with that and still wanna do it , even knowing those things , then fine , just don’t interact with me again if you do that , because that’s problematic as shit in my book .
my tone may come across upset during this or harsh , but that’s because i want you to realize how genuinely impactful and , honestly , very wrong that would be , and has been in this reality , too .
