A place for debunking misconceptions about intersex people, of which there are MANY.

Rules:

  1. Please don't be a bigot.
  2. Don't be a jerk.
  3. Follow TOS.
  4. Please spoiler and properly flair the dark stuff. If it's NSFW, mark it as such.
  5. Please avoid starting catfights.

You get the idea.

Important Information:

This Community was made by an intersex person who is also nonbinary. As the maker of this sub, let me say that in all my years of social media usage, I have seen SO many people not know the first thing about what being intersex is, much less the details of it. This Community is intended to be a place where inaccuracies about intersex people are to be debunked.

Posting because it's frustrating how often I see nonbinary folks say they want to "transition to intersex" just noooo that's not what intersex is. Like congrats on figuring out body transition goals but just that idea that "intersex is ambiguous genitals and that's all there is to it" kept me in the closet about being intersex for years.

I'm intersex, but separate and apart from that, I am nonbinary and a salmacian/aphrodisian. (Though my other posts will give you that idea.)
