Description: A meme in two pictures and two text boxes. The upper image shows an anime-style character, joyous and smiling, surrounded by twinkling stars. The text next to them says: "You realize you're trans."
The lower image shows the same character, staring in despair, surrounded by darkness. The text next to them says: "You realize you're trans."

ID: what is intersex?

The term "intersex" is used to describe an individual whose chromosomes, hormones, or sexual organs are not in line with the perceived male/female sex binary.

SEX is not binary.

SEX is a spectrum.

Sex is determined by a doctor upon birth using the following guidelines: (according to the infant's genitals):

Bellow is a graphic of a ruler, labelled "Phall-O-Meter", from left to right:

The first, slim section is pink and marked with a female symbol, to the left it says: "it's a girl! (under 3/8 inch)"

The second section, 3 times larger than the first, is purple and marked with an X, underneath it says: "unacceptable! Babies with "ambiguous genitals" often undergo inhumane, dangerous, and un- necessary surgeries to "normalize" their genitals, many times without parental consent!"

The final and largest section is 6 times larger than the first, is blue and marked with a male symbol, to the right it says: "it's a boy! (over 1 inch)"

Under the graphic the text continues:

INTERSEX PEOPLE...

are about as common as redheads!

can have any sexual orientation or gender identity.

should never be called "hermaphrodites."

should have their privacy respected.

should not have to be ashamed of their bodies.

deserve to be treated like anybody else.

Bellow is a row of 5 stick figures ranging from blue to pink and from wearing trousers to skirt, to represent the gender spectrum.

I am sorry, I cannot buy your soul, I have to buy Blahaj.

Sell a kidney and buy Blahaj.

Can't come soon enough IMO. Not necessarily because I want Reddit to suffer, but because I want Lemmy to thrive.

You are welcome.

In the original interview, she makes it clear that there several incidents and that the AI images she got were the last straw which convinced her to delete Twitter.

Yeah, if anyone needed a clear sign where exTwitter's journey was going, that was it. It's the nazi bar now and people should not hang out there anymore.

[–] squirrel@lemmy.blahaj.zone 32 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Yeah, it's way overdue to delete Twitter, but I also know far too many people who cling to it, providing one specious justification or another. I really don't know what still needs to happen in order for left-ish/progressive/queer/... people to finally get off of Twitter.

Additionally to what has already been mentioned: People are susceptible to politics that confirm their prejudices. Right-wing political thought is largely based on confirming that whatever prejudices people hold, they are morally good and justified. Thus elevating an in-group above out-groups. That is a powerful lure.

Incompatibilities between hardware and software caused data corruption. This resulted in hangups and increasingly frequent crashes. It was necessary to download a new gender, which is currently being installed.
