SHE’S A TRANS WOMAN NAMED JOSIE JAYE TOTAH AND I LOVE HER

look she’s beautiful

look!

can you talk about being intersex and cis? how do you know if you're cis or trans when you're intersex? i promise this isn't meant to be rude i'm just a little confused as to how gender works when you're intersex. thank you so much.

I’m cis because I’m afab and still identify as a woman. If I was afab and identified any other way, I’d be trans. I’m intersex because my body itself has a mixed bag of secondary sex characteristics and hormones.

The label “intersex” itself isn’t a gender identity as much as it’s a way for people with mixed or ambiguous sex characteristics to define that experience. There are cis men and women who are intersex, trans people of every kind as well. I’m sure there are intersex people who just identify as intersex entirely but most intersex people I’ve met still identify as male, female, or nonbinary. Because your body doesn’t determine your gender identity.

Also, the opposite of intersex is perisex. You can be cis or trans, while being intersex or perisex. If you’re not intersex, you are perisex.

GUESS WHAT I REALIZED I COULD DO! ive edited these and compressed them small enough to be discord emojis! these aren't my photos, i just edited them, so feel free to use!

Neil Gaiman, who has been a supporter of queer rights since the 80s

Neil Gaiman, who writes really fucking good stories

Neil Gaiman, who has been writing queer characters into his books since forever

Neil Gaiman, who fights for the right to have a say in his TV adaptions and will rather not have them made than have them made badly, because he is someone who knows how much more important that is

Neil Gaiman, who was literally attacked for casting enby actors for enby characters (who people thought were cis for whatever reason) and refused to budge on his decision

Neil Gaiman, who literally gives no shits about gender and gender roles in his books (I mean he had historically male characters cast as women, see Archangel Michael)

Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, who wrote a love story about two masc presenting people when so many more people were homophobic and wrote it so it was sutble enough to become popular

Neil Gaiman who was called a homophobe for his queer bait that literally wasn't a queer bait, it was queer from the start

Neil Gaiman, who continously strongly uses subtlety and allusiveness in his works in order to leave many interpretations up to the reader (not just in reference to gender/sexuality, it's so many more things)

Neil Gaiman, who supports his fans and their interpretations, validating them whether they think A&C are a cis gay couple or a gay man and a genderfluid pansexual or two enby asexuals, because that was always the point (they created a love story. That was the intent. If you need a kiss or a sex scene or a direct love confession to seal the deal, you're missing the point. Also, did you watch Good Omens?? Those two are more in love than most real life couples I know.)

Neil Gaiman is a popular author and writer, who cares about queer people and them being represented in media and film

You can criticise him for all you want, but he is not an enemy to queer people
