It's time we stop talking about what "asexuality isn't". Asexuality IS. Asexuality contains multitudes. Asexuality contains contradictions. Asexuality is not having sex. Asexuality is having sex and hating it. Asexuality is having sex and loving it. Asexuality is sex work. 🧡1/7

My friends The Ace Couple did a fantastic 4-part series on the religious right objecting to asexual marriages. They are amazing people, and they are super-funny as well. Subscribe to their podcast and follow them. I have an episode linked below! youtube.com/watch?v=aCgTXX…

"Some intersex traits are noticed at birth. Others don’t show up until puberty or later in life. Intersex people often face shameβ€”or are forced or coerced into changing their bodies, usually at a very young age." - @interact_adv #IntersexAwarenessDay #BornBeyondBoxes

#IntersexAwarenessDay facts from @interact_adv: About 1.7% of people are born intersex. Compared to a ~0.3% chance of having identical twins! 1 in 2,000 babies (0.05% of humans) are born with genital differences that a doctor might suggest changing with unnecessary surgery.
