Amazing TED talk on the way the strict gender binary harms us, by XY intersex woman Emily Quinn
Tumblr media
Here’s an extract of her talk:
“I have a vagina. Just thought you should know. Just thought you should know. I look like a woman. I’m dressed like one, I guess. The thing is, I also have balls….I’m not male or female. I’m intersex.
“Most people assume that you’re biologically either a man or a woman, but it’s actually a lot more complex than that. There are so many ways somebody could be intersex. 
In my case, it means I was born with XY chromosomes, which you probably know as male chromosomes. And I was born with a vagina and balls inside my body. I don’t respond to testosterone, so during puberty, I grew breasts… I don’t actually have a uterus – I was born without one, so I don’t menstruate, I can’t have biological children…
“We put people in boxes based on their genitalia. Before a baby’s even born, we ask whether it’s a boy or a girl, as if it actually matters; as if you’re going to be less excited about having a baby if it doesn’t have the genitals you wanted; as if what’s between somebody’s legs tells you anything about that person. 
Are they kind, generous, funny? Smart? Who do they want to be when they grow up? Genitals don’t actually tell you anything. Yet, we define ourselves by them. In this society, we love putting people into boxes and labeling each other…
“But there’s one really big problem: biological sex is not black or white. It’s on a spectrum. Besides your genitalia, you also have your chromosomes, your gonads, like ovaries or testicles. You have your internal sex organs, your hormone production, your hormone response and your secondary sex characteristics, like breast development, body hair, etc. 
Those seven areas of biological sex all have so much variation, yet we only get two options: male or female. Which is kind of absurd to me, because I can’t think of a single other human trait that there’s only two options for: skin color, hair, height, eyes…”
Listen to the whole talk here. Believe me, it is worth your time!

Ok ok but can we see Su being told by Lin in a family gathering, that she is actually married with Izumi and has children.
Sorry but I really want to give her big ol middle finger👉👈
don't blame you tbh i'm not good at writing so this is... this is nothing just enjoy it or idk gjdgshcd
(they are at ATI)
Izumi wanted to slap Su, but she was to proper for that. Lin loves her bu she also gets tired of her sister saying she's lonely and bitter, they been separated for 30 years, why does she acts like if she knows?
Lin and Izumi had been married for over 25 years, they raised Iroh and Ursa together
she's not there for an scene in front of everyone so she grabs her sister's wrist and gets her out of there to far away as possible
and faces her probably really overwhelmed and gets back only to ask Izumi to please leave, which she says yes imedietly

Had some friends raise the idea of a community acronym for gender related identities separate from orientation, for those times when you do just want to have a gender focus. Sometimes when people say “the trans community” you don’t know how inclusive they are of identities outside the binary, so it got me thinking of a way to explicitly show out-of-binary inclusion.
I started with the “big three” (not a real thing, just the general broad umbrella terms) of trans, non-binary, and genderqueer. That gave me the TNG community, which is cool but I can do better.
So I added agender, which is another major identity that often sits outside of the previously mentioned three. This gave me the TANG community. Which is fun; tang, nice acronym that makes a word, easy to say, nice and convenient, because hey, why not make things fun. To be as inclusive as possible we can add a little + on the end to show that there’s more within the community than just those four identities, but TANG+ is a nice starting point.

Ayo, here's a bit about me:
> Quinn/Quinnifer (She/They) - 17 years old
> I am pretty sure I fit outside the gender binary but internalised transphobia and self doubt go brrrr
> Sometimes I'll refer to myself as non binary, sometimes female, sometimes nothing becuase I am the void.
> I'm a massive simp
> And I'm gay
> I like drawing and collages. I also like mood boards.
> Fun fact: this was meant to be my bio but it smooshed it into one long block of text
> And I know some peeps struggle to read long bits of text so I put it here instead.
> Lin is hot

Oof... The other day my friend touched my hand and she was like "omg they're so rough you gotta take care of em more" and I realised that everyone else I know's hands are super soft lmao
Every single kyalin fanfic I see be like: "lin got some calloused hands innit"
How about this? Kyalin but lin has the softest hands imaginable, and she works hard to keep them that way after everything they go through on a daily basis. Whenever lin strokes kya's face she melts into lin's soft gestures.
