Intersex People Are Cis/Can Be Cis If They So Choose— Cis People Need To Be Included In Trans Identity As Something Other Than A Problem
You’re born intersex
Ain’t nobody transition from
Cis to intersex.
Not how it works.
Saying intersex is a non-binary
Genderfluid, genderqueer identity
Is almost as reductive, appropriating and over corrective as
Chopping off their bits as children —
Something all of us should be against.
Why force intersex folk
Into trans identity
When they’re fucking born like that ?!
If they identify as intersex and they’re born intersex—
That means they’re cis.
At some point
The trans community is going to have to acknowledge
That cis
Isn’t an insult—
It’s a word
Gender studies came up with
To describe people who identify
With the gender and sex they were born as.
No wonder cis people
Find it offensive—
“We” are leaving them out
Of sex and gender
Altogether
While simultaneously demanding
Rights, respect, and inclusion.
