@mrsjackieblanks: Replying to @Valeria I’m intersex — but I don’t identify as LGBTQ+. Not because I don’t support the community. I do. But because I am female. Not by identity. By biology. My intersex variation just makes me a little different, and that’s OK! This is my truth — and it’s okay if it’s not everyone’s. 💛 #LetsTalkAboutIt #IntersexAwareness #CAIS #XYAndThriving #BodilyAutonomy #DifferentNotLess #TruthTeller #LGBTQAlly #UneditedBody #IntersexAndProud #MedicalTruths #InclusiveNotIdentical #LetsTalkAboutIt
intersex and trans people are different, but we are hurt by the same belief systems and trans people are still your allies and we love you 💖

The 'I' for intersex did always stand out to me as the only identity in the acronym that was about biology as opposed to identity. Intersex people are marginalized and we need more intersex awareness, but I get what you're saying about it being different

Who knew the idea that people deserve bodily autonomy and children shouldn’t have life changing surgery without informed consent would be controversial

i mean I do think intersex people have a place in the LGBTQ+ community because it's not just about orientation and gender but also about being a minority and not being "the standard" that brings us together? so I'm intersex and I also have been female since birth but I'm still not "the standard woman" if you know what I mean and the experiences I have to face because of that is something that I can share with the LGBTQ+ community! not saying every intersex person necessarily has to feel like they have to belong there but I do think we have a very good place there!

As a nurse, I can say that my education offered NOTHING on being intersex. I am learning so much from you. And the stigma that surrounds this creates the fear and in some instances the desire to protect intersex people. You are busting this topic open. Thank you!

I think some of the people that don't understand, don't WANT to understand. You've explained it very well multiple times.

You're describing being cis - being assigned female and identifying as such, without a mismatch, is what cisgender means. Saying "I am female" is identifying as female - that's what that means.

As a nurse this is the first education I've had on the subject of intersex. Thank you so much.
I think you seem like an awesome person.

I think the I is for all those intersex people who had corrective surgery when they were young and then growing up didn't identify with the gender they were assigned at the surgery, so found themselves in a more 'trans' situation that what you may have experienced

I understand why you don’t identify as queer or part of the lgbtq+ but know that intersex people will always be welcome in these spaces and discussions

Hi, I just wanna say that I recently found your page and I'm loving it and I've learned a lot. I'm part of the LGBTQ+ community myself and always want to learn everything I can and to be a good ally for every letter of the community. Is there anything in particular you think queer people could do for the intersex community? I always include them in things I make about the queer community, although I know there are many who do not identify as LGBTQ+, as you yourself also stated. 💛💜

This was an excellent explanation, very clear and easy to understand. If one does not understand at least most of it, it is willful ignorance, which helps no one. Your work is SO important, and we (at least most of us) are grateful.

Support. Nurse for 36 year. Hearing you so understand. So hard to explain. Biology 🧬 at its finest work. So crazy to understand for people Keep your voice. So confusing for people but have to tell you firm believer pedi transgender community should wait till 21 to allow surgical changes to body. And like for you surg procedure should have been at consensual age for informed concent

It has been 25 years or so and the world has changed a lot, but I never forget meeting Sharon. Sharon was intersex, dressed as a woman but had a masculine jaw. In her experience the gay and lesbian community was not welcoming to her and saw her as trans(which she was not) who were also not accepted by that community at that time. I think attitudes have largely changed but I was surprised to hear this. I have since encountered racism and even neo-fascist ideas in that community and you just assume that minority groups would automatically be more tolerant, but really they have the breadth of silly prejudices of everybody else. I can understand why some find a home and are embraced there while others do not see it as their community.

Valeria :
Thank you so much for being so clear about this🩷 I didn't know you had to reply this question a lot of time in the past, I've been following you since yesterday so I literally had no idea and I apologize for that. My question was just my curiosity, I never meant to say that you're "lying" or you don't "exist", it's just that this concept, as you said, it's very confusing to understand but thanks to this video now I do! Thank you for being here and teaching to a lot of people on this platform, including me. I'm a transsexual girl, I would never deny your existence🩷

LGBTQ+ describes a network of communities that share similar oppressions, experiences, differences that leave us marginalized by society’s expectations

Trista things :
would love to dive into this more as I absolutely identify as an intersex female. however being CAIS means I am not binary and I am in the community that has dealt with gender identity issues as I battled them my entire life.
I spent 3 decades thinking I'd make a man gay for kissing me.

anyone else ever wonder if intersex people are further along in the evolutionary chain? like fast forward 100,000 years will we all be?

As a queer woman, I think this is so valid! I understand why it might be hard to relate to others in a queer space as a straight intersex woman. You’re always welcome if you’d like to be, but it’s okay to not feel like that’s your space!
