The recent policy change which makes it impossible for young trans people to delay puberty, at great cost to their mental health, has a special caveat to allow cross-sex hormones to be used on intersex children even contrary to their wishes, at great cost to their mental health.

When I found out that I'm intersex I knew, statistically, there were lots of other people like me out there, but only about a dozen were publicly visible. It has been a great joy to me to watch this movement grow over the decades and begin to exert real pressure for our human rights to be respected.

It just came to my attention that Trump was “woke-punked” by intersex belly dancers in his horrendous AI Gaza video www.thedailybeast.com/trump-trolle...

It’s possible the president missed that bizarre detail amid all the golden statues of himself.

Lots to piece out from day 1 of the hearing on Trump's executive order concerning trans people in the military, but this back-and-forth between Judge Ana Reyes and government lawyer Jason Lynch about intersex people and biology is interesting!

Hitler was intersex. It was widely acknowledged that he had hypospadias, an intersex condition where your urethra is on the underside of your penis. Think about that for a minute. Witness what a monster it makes to hate oneself that badly.

It’s weird when the president declares you don’t exist. On the one hand, it’s a surreal feeling of erasure. On the other, it’s somewhat of a relief to relinquish visibility and go back underground.

Ashwagandha is a shrub that grows in India, the Middle East, and North Africa. It can help with stress, increase testosterone levels, regulate libido, and help you gain stamina and muscle mass while exercising.

Hermaphroditus was the child of Hermes and Aphrodite. Raised by the naiad Salmacis, he became one of the Erotes, a collective of winged beings associated with love and sex. He was the patron god of marriage. Based on how he is depicted in antiquity, he probably had congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

I have an intersex condition called CAH, or congenital adrenal hyperplasia. My body produces more testosterone than “normal” and my adrenaline and cortisol levels are off, causing anything from depression and anxiety to IBS and UTIs. CAH is most common in India, Africa, and the Middle East.

It kind of blew my mind when I drew the endocrine system last night and I realized it’s p much he same as the chakra system. This makes sense because the endocrine system governs the hormones and congenital intersex conditions. (Cont. in the comments)

I was today years old when I realized the endocrine system and the chakra system are basically the same thing

There’s word of people with gender X being turned away at the border: open policing of NB and intersex people. If you’re curious, this article does a good job explaining who gets to be included under the intersex umbrella and why. hanslindahl.com/blog/is-pcos...

Cont. from last post: We can also create networks of comrades and friends who can help juggle the issues, staying abreast of things that you cannot. It is important that we not let them overwhelm and disarm us. Don’t let them take your power.

Cont. from last post: How do we deal with it? Sociologists say to try and focus on three issues or shockers. What our dear leaders are banking on is that we become overwhelmed, paralyzed, and docile in our brain fog and emotional agony.

I am thinking about Naomi Klein’s book the Shock Doctrine: the Rise of Disaster Capitalism where she describes how in this strategy, political actors exploit the chaos of natural disasters, wars, and other crises to push through unpopular policies. This is what’s happening right now.

During World War II Dion Fortune gathered her followers in Britain together for a psychic war against Germany. Her group, the Fraternity of the Inner Light, were not able to meet in person because of wartime travel restrictions but she got the word out to her group in writing.
