I received feedback for the one I made recently and decided I'd remake it with better options!

Sorry if the options are still confusing but I can 100% help explain them if anyone needs help

I cant edit the old poll, not even to end it early or anything, so it'll still be up, but still wanted to make an updated version

dear intersex people,

you don't have to be open about your type of or specific variation. you don't have to explain your identity. you don't have tell people about your body or its inner workings. if all you want to say is that you're intersex, that's okay.

- it/its don't have to be your only pronouns for you to respond, nor your favorite or most preffered

- discourse, hate and any form of bigotry is not allowed and will get you blocked

"Coligay": brazilian soccer and homosexuality in the 70s and 80s

i wanted to find a piece of queer history outside of the USA to tell people this pride month, and i remembered this one, so i decided to look it up again and sum it up for you guys. links with more information are at the end of the post

-> what was "Coligay"?

Coligay was a group of fans of the soccer club Grêmio, from Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, made up entirely by queer people. It was created in 1977 by Volmar Santos, Grêmio fan and owner of a gay bar, named "Coliseu", coliseum in portuguese. That's where the name of the group comes from, a mix of "Coliseu" and "gay"- Coligay! The members were, in turn, called "coliboys", as "boy" is a common slang in Brazil.

In a very sexist and homophobic environment, during the military dictatorship, Coligay members were scared of possible aggressions and repression from fellow soccer fans and the military, so they trained karate. Yup! A group of gay soccer fans who fought karate, in the late 70s, can this get any more badass?

It sure can!

With the birth of Coligay, Grêmio finally started to win games and titles again, being the champion of the "Gaúcho Championship" that year, and winning other championships after that. they basically became a lucky amulet to the team, and wherever the team went, the coliboys were there, just like the Grêmio anthem says ("Mas o certo é que nós estaremos onde o Grêmio, onde o Grêmio estiver").

-> what caused "Coligay" to end?

the leader and creator, Volmar Santos, had to go back to his hometown in the 80s, causing the group to lose strength and to finally dismantle in 1983.

the group also suffered a lot of aggressions and threats from other soccer fans, even within Grêmio, and was watched closely by the government at the time, due to, again, existing during the military dictatorship, a time of intense repression of leftist views and anyone or anything that didn't follow the strict, conservative social norms.

regarding aggressions, Volmar Santos says there was only one instance of direct physical aggression against the coliboys, but nonetheless, the group didn't feel safe, which was still a strain for the members.

-> does "Coligay" exist nowadays?

sadly, no. there were attempts made to bring it back, with the help of other queer soccer fan groups, but the amount of aggression faced online lead them to back down. Brazil is an incredibly bigoted country, and soccer is, unfortunately, a place where that is extremely clear.

other gay and queer groups were created for other teams, however, inspired by Coligay, and though it's taken a while, Grêmio has recognised its existence years after it ended and there are even books written on its history now. there's also a piece of their history in the Grêmio museum.

-> conclusion:

I hope this short summary of this incredible piece of Brazilian queer history makes some of y'all happy today, specially for fellow Brazilians and gaúchos who may have been unaware that it even existed. Happy pride month, and have a queer-tastic day.

need more rep for genderfluid people who have terrible fashion sense, dress super casually or who don't ever change how they present

not all women use she/her, not all men use he/him, and this fully includes binary and cis men and women

wishing every intersex man a very "your variation doesn't make you any less of a man, but it's okay if you struggle to connect with manhood because of it, even if you were raised in it"

honestly the focus on assigned gender in queer spaces is so... uncomfortable, specially as a trans intersex person. not only does it not dictate what a person's gender is, it can also be incredibly misleading, even in a sense of biological sex. because gender, even when assigned, does not equal sex

intersex is a really varied experience.

some people will consider themselves queer due to being intersex, and some won't. some will consider it a disability or chronic condition, some won't. some will consider themselves cis or trans, some will have unique genders and gender modalities or none. some will also identify as cis and/or trans in different ways.

all of these sorts of intersex people and experiences are valid, and shouldn't be judged by neither fellow intersex people nor perisex people.

honestly I dread a lot of things about living as a man but one of the things I dread the most is buying in the men's section. the clothing industry really said men (and anyone else who buys in that section) shouldn't have fun huh
