reblogging because sex ed is usually shit but it’s really really important
Y’all this is important!!!
Some of these links are broken, such as the links covering toy cleaning, fisting and anal sex, many of these topics are also covered by one of my favourite educational YouTube Channels Sexplanations, run by Clinical Sexologist Dr. Lindsey Doe… Who is also here on Tumblr at @tumblingdoe
She has videos on nearly every topic you can think of, as well as videos geared towards parents, explaining things you may not know how to explain.
Also the linked intersex org no longer operates.

neontologist-deactivated2020100:
LGBT activists have been vocal about intersex issues for several decades, because establishing the legal right to bodily autonomy for intersex persons is basically inseparable from establishing the right of trans persons to that same legal autonomy over their own bodies. many intersex persons prefer not to be grouped together with LGBT causes; however, the vast majority of LGBT activists would agree that performing “corrective” surgery on intersex infants - to force them to adhere to a largely fictional gender binary - is pretty fucking evil.
[Image IDs: a series of tweets from #EndIntersexSurgery (@/ Pidgejen) reading: Anyways, let’s start with what I thought I once knew about myself. When I was 18, I discovered I wasn’t like other girls. My medical records read “male pseudo-hermaphrodite 46 XY” & other BS terminology that pathologized my healthy/beautiful intersex body.
I discovered then that I had been diagnosed with partial androgen insensitivity syndrome (PAIS); my XY body couldn’t fully utilize androgens (like T) and so I developed mostly like a typical female person externally.
For me, this meant I had a somewhat “ambiguous” looking body (aka a non-binary body) and the doctors performed 3 unnecessary cosmetic surgeries to make me look more like a “normal girl”
(peanut emoji) gonadectomy
(scissors emoji) Clitorectomy
(kitchen knife emoji) vaginoplastyNot to mention, they lied to me about All Of This and then forced me to take Premarin (a low does of estrogen made from extracting the hormone from a pregnant mare’s urine (horse face emoji, crying face emoji)
Anyways, I got in touch with a new endocrinologist recently thanks to my therapist at @/ RuchMedical who suggested I see him.
He did something no other doctor had ever done. He asked me if he could see my medical records, all of them, and then took time to read of them.
He even reached out to other experts in his field when he was confused by something.
Wow, We love humility in medicine.
Anyways, he ended up suspecting something is up and that perhaps my PAIS diagnosis is wrong.
He then orders me a genetic (dna emoji) test. Thanks to covid it took almost half a year to get the results, but a month or so ago I got them back.
Turns out, I don’t have PAIS. I actually have something else known as NR-5A1. Now this is big news mostly because 1. It supports my thesis that docs who deal with intersex kids don’t know shit…
And 2. P/AIS intersex folks are believed to not be able to utilize androgens and wo we’re often only given estrogen (never T), forcibly “feminized” with fucked up “cosmetic” surgeries, and forcibly assigned female.
Doing what they did to me was fucked up enough, but now realizing that they didn’t even have the diagnosis right—and that I *can* utilize androgens—is fucking infuriated beyond belief.
We need to #EndIntersexSurgery y'all like yesterday. /End IDs]

God could you imagine how mad geologists must have been to slowly watch the “hey all the continents kinda fit like puzzle pieces :)” guy get proven right
It was a woman that did it!
I love girl talk, especially when it’s complex geological theory

“That’s why high school, or a crappy job, or any other restrictive circumstance can be dangerous: They make dreams too painful to bear. To avoid longing, we hunker down, wait, and resolve to just survive. Great art becomes a reminder of the art you want to be making, and of the gigantic world outside of your small, seemingly inescapable one. We hide from great things because they inspire us, and in this state, inspiration hurts.”

Isn’t it crazy how we will all be in drastically different stages of our lives by this time next year? And then again and again and again.

just saw someone ask whether batman or spiderman would win in a fight, as if batman would see a brightly-colored sassy acrobat and not immediately adopt him
now, in fairness, peter parker has a history of seeing someone else in a costume and immediately throwing hands only to realize three pages later that there was literally no reason to do that, but it’s not like misplaced aggression is disqualifying when it comes to suddenly acquiring a batdad
Bruce, upon realizing that he’s getting punched repeatedly by a flippy and talkative spider-child with 0 brain cells and a strong moral compass, immediately begins filling out mental adoption papers
Peter, catching the image of an adult dressed vaguely like an animal and standing in the shadows out of the corner of his eye, immediately backflips into a roundhouse kick while shouting “batter up!”
Batman, internally: Unfortunately I love it.
Bruce: This one has super strength and can literally dodge bullets.
Clark: Bruce, put him back where he came from.
Peter: Please give me a dollar. I am very poor.Clark: I gave him a dollar.
Peter: He gave me a dollar.
Clark: I thought he’d go away if I gave him a dollar.
Bruce: Well of course he’s not gonna go away. If you gave him a dollar he’s gonna assume you have more.
