[intersex-questions]

tw// IGM

Hey, I have a question. Is IGM only done to babies, or can they be done after the child has gotten older?

Also, is it possible for IGM to happen(as a baby) but not be put on their medical book? Like the doctor does the surgery, then writes down that their genitals are male/female.

IGM (intersex genital mutilation) absolutely can and does happen to individuals older than babies. It happens to children, teenagers, and adults. Many individuals undergo "corrective" surgery to their genitalia under the guise of being told it is medically necessary, they'll be infertile otherwise, they can't have sex otherwise, and more.

And yes, that is possible. Although it shouldn't happen, doctors absolutely can and do medical procedures or similar things without listing them or being explicit about what they are. This is medical malpractice, but it does happen. And, often when things like IGM do happen to babies, they don't share the real/true/actual reason behind the mutilation/surgery and instead say it is medically necessary.

the assumption that intersex people are inherently nonbinary is just another way of saying sex = gender. it essentially means that intersex people can't be their gender because of their physical and biological traits... similar to how trans people are told the same thing.

transness and intersexness, transphobia and intersexism... aren't the same. but the bigotry we face ultimately comes from the same place. a more pressing and dangerous example of this is how the laws that ban GAHT for trans youth and bar trans youth from sports... are the very same laws that encourage the abuse of intersex youth, barring them from GAHT and sports as well.

this is all to say, trans liberation is intersex liberation and intersex liberation is trans liberation. we're being spun on two sides of the same coin. if we all reach around to the other side and pull, we can topple it and be free.

i may be biased but i think that dandelions should be symbols of intersexuality

dandelions:

belong in this world

are natural

are good for this world

are beautiful

are whole just as they are

are resilient

have been here for a long-ass time

will be here for a long-ass time

deserve to exist

dandelions are NOT:

unnatural

a new phenomenon

wrong

bad

dangerous

broken

something that needs to be changed

bound by society's ridiculous 'rules' that are based on incorrect, unscientific information

just like intersex people! Plus they're yellow like the intersex flag, so that's a bonus.

The moment you start drawing lines between acceptable and unacceptable for things that cannot be changed, it will inevitably lead you to find yourself on the wrong side of that line. When you draw lines between what bodies are acceptable and what bodies are unacceptable, you will inevitably find yourself placed into the unacceptable box.

Intersex bodies must be accepted as they are, must be held as just as worthy as perisex bodies, both for intersex people's sake and for the sake of human diversity.

These lines are not unlike the lines we draw between 'good' and 'bad' plants. We call plants that we don't want weeds, despite dandelions providing much more practical utility than a rosebush. And where does that leave us? In a world where dandelions are poisoned, uprooted, crushed, killed for the crime of growing wherever there is a place to grow. In a world where rosebushes could easily find themselves given the same treatment the moment they no longer provide value.

And for what? To uphold antiquated and incorrect ideas of the way the world should be, often at the detriment to ourselves and the world we live in? For the aesthetic?

And we do this with human lives, violently 'correcting' the 'flaws' that are perfectly natural through unwanted mutilation and medication.* Doctors do this to children, to literal infants, and it's perfectly legal. I find it telling that, despite its legality, those same doctors and hospitals tend to guard any records they might keep of such procedures, even from the parents and the child in question, quite closely.

Sorry this kinda turned into a rant. I just think the metaphor is really fitting, and I'm pretty passionate about intersex issues (being an intersex person myself), and I really like dandelions.

*There is nothing inherently wrong with wanting to adjust one's own body to what they themselves would prefer, regardless of the starting point and/or end goal. In addition, I recognize that certain intersex conditions require medical intervention for survival - that's not what I'm referring to here. What is wrong is forcing people into a false binary and abusing modern medicine to make an unwilling person fit into a box they don't want to be in. This is about autonomy and enthusiastic consent without undue influence.

Composite of French IGN, Swiss Swisstopo and Italian IGM topo maps at FR-CH-IT tripoint.

From Skitourenguru. Currently they can only use the Swiss one though, because the French license is just too cryptic and the Italians don't answer their open data request (even though EU law basically requires them to grant permission...).

#the italian igm map!!! #just 😍😍😍😍😍 #i've never seen them before! #i knew italian maps are basically the most beautiful #see tci/tabacco maps #but still... wow #i mean ign/swisstopo is nice but just super basic in comparison to this <3 #map #topo map #topographic map #swisstopo #ign #igm #mountains ♥

Kids Play Games

November is International Games Month @ Your Library. Classes have been invited down to the School Library to enjoy our selection of board games, card games, party games and other live and in-person games. Thanks to Mr. Birnbaum for bringing his E.L.L. classes down. Games are a great way for these students to develop their language skills. More importantly, everyone was having fun.

medical literature about intersex people be like "there are problems that can be caused by forcing surgery on babies. luckily we are solving this by forcing surgery on even younger babies. it is vital that this baby CANNOT be left alone to develop normally. here is our 36 step guide on which surgeries you should force on which babies. also some people have said that forcing surgeries on babies might be "harmful" so consider that too I guess"

10th day of intersex

At what time could someone learn that they or someone else is intersex?

Intersex could hypothetically be known before conception if you genetically engineered or selected for someone as such. But that doesn't (legally) happen in humans and is only allowed for animals.

Intersex conditions could be found during pregnancy with a karyotype test or screening for different intersex related genes. This can lead to the selective abortion and genocide of intersex people. Doctors may exaggerate risks based on their biased schooling serving a perisex-normative standard.

Intersex conditions could be found immediately after birth. These conditions include ambiguous genitals. Again, doctors may exaggerate risks and coerce parents to perform unnecessary genital surgeries that are only for aesthetic purposes. (That's not to say all surgeries are bad. If a child is born without an exit for urine or feces, then some sort of hole being made is necessary.) Parents may then be told to hide all knowledge of the surgery from their child.

Some intersex conditions discovered at birth may call for the child to have repeated medications or repeated appointments to the doctor. Children can be lied to about the nature of their medication or appointments. These children might go until teenage years or adulthood before finding out the truth. Or they could have parents who tell their children about their bodies as their children ask questions, need the information or relevant conversations or situations arise.

Some intersex conditions, like hormonal conditions, go undiscovered until the time of puberty where an absence of puberty or unexpected puberty happens.

Some intersex conditions may go unnoticed until the individual tries to have a child and discovers their intersex condition as the reason for their infertility.

Some intersex conditions go unnoticed until after the individual dies and coroners or forensic scientists discover their condition.

And some conditions are never known at all.

intersex people are not rare and the medical & scientific communities are not authorities on intersex people. intersex people are fairly common and the medical and scientific communities are our oppressors.

they're the ones who created the illusion that we're rare. they pathologize our existence, abuse us, lie to us about who we are, prevent us from being born, and from having children of our own. they call us disordered and defected. the list the of awful things they do is very long.

so, few of us know we're intersex. few of us know we can be intersex. few of us accept we're intersex. few of us are out as intersex, and if we are, people hardly know what that is. again, the list goes on. we are made invisible, and we're right in front of you. always have been.
