I co-organize an online intersex-themed book club. It's a place for intersex people to meet fellow intersex people and talk about intersex themes in literature. Perisex allies are welcome too.

We're reading the Left Hand of Darkness this month, next month we're gonna read a little bit of academic intersex studies, and looks like in October we'll be reading some short stories.

 

Saw it posted on tumblr. No idea how the findings hold up in 2023 or internationally but still really sweet to learn more about other intersex people!

 

Another meme from r/intersex that made me happy.

Alt-text: "There are only two biological human sexes". Tuvok from Star Trek Voyager is captioned "science" and says no. Kim from Voyager is captioned "intersex-phobes" and says yes.

 

Haven't seen the movie yet but I am pumped!

 

From trans-axolotl on tumblr, I find it helpful for sharing with perisex friends!

 

A big list of intersex media from intersex-support on tumblr! Please add any others you know in the comments! :)

 

So glad I saw this video before actually trying to read it, and glad to have it on hand every time I see Middlesex get put on lists of queer books (sigh)

 

Alt text: scene from the Matrix. Morpheus shows Neo the red and blue pills, which are labelled "Broad shoulders, muscle mass, and a beard" and "Wide hips, narrow waist, and breasts". Neo is shown with "my puberty". Then Morpheus asking "Did you just take both pills?"
