Sometimes fiction doesn’t have a moral to the story. Sometimes fiction points at something and goes “Ever thought about THAT???” And you look at what it’s pointing at for a bit.

A very elegant crime.

(edit: my partner just pointed out that maybe the bittern is going to pay, and that's a good point)

Don't worry, his disguise was flawless and he got away with his snack :)

intersex people (including myself) can say again and again and again in as clear language as we can “Please Do Not Fetishise Our Bodies” and “This Is What Fetishisation Looks Like” and there will always be some fucking dyadic person absolutely RACING to tell us how much they don’t value our opinions

“I’m not fetishising being intersex I just wish I was intersex because it would be fun to have both a penis and a vagina”

“yeah I’m normal about intersex people! they’re really attractive/interesting/fascinating!”

“isn’t it so cool how some people are just naturally nonbinary. like your body is nonbinary. which means a nonbinary intersex person is cis”

shut up shut up shut up leave us alone fucking hellllll

I'm going to break my answer to this in three parts because I gave three examples in the original post

"intersex people are really attractive"

there's nothing wrong with this in and of itself. my partner loves my intersex body, and I love my intersex body too. I am attractive and my intersexness is part of that! the problem is that it is not enough just to find us attractive.

when people are asked to question their biases against intersex people, they often default to saying "oh no I'm not intersexist, I find them hot/sexy/whatever!". that alone tells me that you are seeing intersex people as nothing other than sexual objects. you can discriminate against someone you find attractive. and, in fact, seeing someone as nothing more than a sexual object is a form of discrimination. this is particularly true when you are part of a group that is often seen as nothing more than a search term to type into pornhub (as is the case for intersex people)

"intersex people are interesting"

yes, I am interesting! but that's because I have a whole and complete personality. I have interesting things to say about the world. but by defining all intersex people as "interesting", you are once again talking about how you feel about our bodies, instead of adequately trying to counter intersexist biases

"intersex people are fascinating"

this is similar to the point about saying we're interesting, except I have a specific problem with this because of the history of the word "fascinating" being associated with scientific and medical industries. to be fascinated by something is to turn it into an object of scientific inquiry. which, again, would be fine if it weren't for the fact that we are seen as nothing more than a medical oddity. we are seen as nothing more than objects to be studied and stared at and ultimately "fixed". I don't want people to be fascinated by me, I want them to care about intersex people and intersex issues

what it comes down to is this:

i appreciate the imagery of sleeping with a weapon under your pillow but with my sleeping habits that thing is going to need a seatbelt to stay put where i left it

going to bed with a gun under my pillow and when i wake up the next morning i've somehow managed to perfectly disassemble it and lay out the parts neatly beside me with my movements while unconscious

Being the person that needs to nap after every big meal is so embarrassing. I apologize for being a 1 week old

Actually you are so right.......

do you take a werewolf boyfriend to the vet or the doctor. this is too complicated

me as a writer: Oh no I can’t write that, somebody else already has

me as a reader: hell yes give me all the fics about this one scenario. The more the merrier

This one is so hard to accept. Reblogging to knock that into my brain.

Me as a writer: I feel like I’m repeating myself, I’ve already used that theme, I’ve already written that kink, that other character uses that speech pattern so this one in another fandom can’t, I feel like I’m writing predictable things, is this different enough from that other thing I wrote, are people filling out bingo cards by my work? :sobbing:

Me as a reader: oh hell yeah this hit the spot exactly, I hope this writer has written 20 more just like it

As one friend said when I felt I was reusing a theme too much, nobody ever says, Did Agatha Christie write about murder again?

I actually laughed out loud at the last one. A very good point.

“I love this, I hope there isn’t anything else out there like it!” Said no one ever
