Dear Cissexism,

Identitybread - “Because I hate genderbread”

Just another version of my GSM Diagram with some added stuff!

slight issues I have:

1) I can’t read post of the stuff which might be a tumblr shrinking things issue and is thus easily solved by a link in the description or a larger version. Just you know, an idea because I really can’t read a lot of it. Or just listing everything in the description.

2) I have a problem calling the gender I was given/assumed to be when I was born my ‘sex’. I have no issues with gender assignment at birth and the language there because that’s all accurate shit, I just have problems equating that with my body, which is what seems to be going on, you know. Because that was not a label I chose, that was a label I got stuck with and while I take no issue with attaching that to my past, with making that part of my identity (because it is) I have an issue with attaching that to my body. A label I did not choose. Despite the ‘assigned’ bit it still squicks me a bit… dunno if that makes sense. Like I have no issue with it being in the diagram, I have issue with it being a physical body thing, a label I did not choose that literally got assigned to me.

3) Not an issue so much as I just love the term affectionality

4)I also adore the inclusion of pronouns and partners just so you know. That’s cool. Also system-ness (but you should probably add the terms median and possibly plural in too, cover the range of systems and terms that might get used…. there may be mroe but those are the one’s I’m familiar with)

Brilliant diagram, and pretty good commentary, and if someone wants to add an image description, I would be so grateful.
