I Want To Phase AGAB Language Out Of My Normal Use Because I'm Not Intersex And AGAB Was Meant For Intersex

I want to phase AGAB language out of my normal use because I'm not intersex and AGAB was meant for intersex people. Does anyone have any good alternatives? I use "person with a uterus" or "person with a penis" or any other anatomy based language when it's relevant to the conversation but there are aspects of my body and experience I want to talk about that aren't just about my organs.

I'm a person who is perceived as a woman. I check off all the boxes for what is considered "standard female anatomy" (big quotes here, I don't think a standard should define us) I grew up raised as a girl, I haven't physically transitioned at all, etc etc etc

I want to be able to acknowledge and expand on these parts of my existence without referring to myself as a woman bc I'm not. I also don't want to be put in the "woman-lite" category. I don't see my body as being gendered even if other people perceive it as being woman gendered. I've considered the term "female-bodied' to describe me but my worry is that language could be used against trans people. I don't like the terms masc or fem for me either because I don't feel masculine or feminine. I don't connect to those terms.

I constantly feel like when I try to explain my experience I run into all sorts of linguistics barriers and it's deeply frustrating to me

My goal for this semester is to maximize my whimsy. I'm gonna be the most whimsical motherfucker there is. No one can stop me.

Ace people get a lot of "asexual people aren't oppressed" and it's so important to point out the injustices we face. Corrective rape, heavy medicalization, social discrimination from peers, pressure into being a sexual person when you are not, feeling or being told we are broken. All of these are incredibly important topics there needs to be more education about.

I love being asexual, I love my community, and we deserve better.

Listen, if a Bad President can come in and take away our rights and we're dependent on a Good President replacing them in four years to give us back our rights, then we do not have any rights.

If politicians can take or distribute them, then they're not "inalienable" and they're not "rights."

We don't have inalienable rights we have conditional privileges, divvied out according to the whims of whoever currently holds the reins.

And if we want to have actual rights, then we must build a system in which no one has the power to take them away to begin with.

"You can't have [experience] because you don't identify as [label]!!!" how do I explain to people that experiences exist outside of and prior to the formation of specific language to talk about them

"You can't have [experience] because you don't think of it through [framework/explanation/etc]!!!" how do I explain to people that experiences exist outside of and prior to any formal cosmology, hypotheses, or explanation assigned to them

Also btw trump recognizing only "the two biological sexes" harms intersex people too. I am a researcher of sex and it's affects on disease, and sex is far more complicated than "two sexes" and it always will be. Sex is multifaceted and there are far more than two binary sexes. Keep that in mind too. Don't fall into bioessentialism as you fight for trans people and intersex people.

I’m not going to shut up. I’m not going to lay down and die. I will not be complacent. I will not greet fascism with a polite smile. I refuse to hide. I refuse to give up.

I’m going to be LOUD and RUDE and ANGRY. I’m going to FIGHT and YELL and PROTEST. I WILL NOT hide who I am. I know some of us have no other choice but to hide for their own safety, so I’ll yell twice as loud and fight twice as hard and be twice as visible for all of us. I REFUSE to let fascism win. I’m going to outlast. I’m going to SURVIVE. I’m going to LIVE.

ITS NOT OVER UNTIL ITS FUCKING OVER
