things i experience or have experienced due to being and growing up intersex
painful intercourse, to the point there are times i cant ignore it and we have to stop, this leads to me feeling insecure and feeling like im disappointing my partners.
extremely painful periods, to the point i went to the hospital almost every time i got one
intersexism and internalized intersexism
i grew up with no gender marker on any of my legal documents
painful cysts on my ovaries
being made fun of by sexual partners for having abnormal genitalia
having intimate photos of myself shared because AND I QUOTE “you just look weird down there”
never feeling like i fit in with the girls or boys
not feeling like im trans enough because i was never female to start so im technically not even FTM trans
having to argue with doctors because they used to acknowledge i was intersex and refuse to diagnose me as such
people not understanding when i say im intersex and having to explain my diagnosis every single time because people wont let it be at just “im intersex, that means im not male or female” and they always want more details
people staring at my genitalia, people taking photos up my skirts and asking to see my body
being made fun of when i was little for being too masculine and having male features
being excluded from the LGBT community
long story short i get stared at every time i go out all because i have tits a dick and im currently growing facial hair.
shits rough out here i just wanted to being awareness to some of the things intersex people go through on a regular basis.

Just a reminder for people cause I haven't seen many peope posting about it:
If you can, please braid your hair today in honor of Cole Brings Plenty. Cole was a Lakota actor who was found murdered with his hair cut. Rising Hearts has asked that everyone, indigenous or not, wear braids to honor him and remember those that have suffered the same.
If you can't braid your hair, then share posts of others!
Now is also a good time to share some support to indigenous charities, if you're able

If profane language is not your vibe. Don't worry. I'm working on another one coming soon that's a lot more wholesome. I'm hoping to have that one also available within the next couple months. Though I am expecting it to take a little longer just because I'm trying to beef up the next one with more designs.
thanks again.

went to the pub for a drink on my first real day off in over a week and watched the girl behind the bar drop the entire cash drawer on the floor in the middle of the rush and then just stare at it at her feet for like a solid two minutes
