You Can Only Reblog This Today

quick are you mythologizing sex again? are you making it seem like a special category of human behavior rather than just a thing people do? are you forgetting that it can be silly or fun or simply pedestrian? are you forgetting that it requires conversation and negotiation just like every other human activity that involves other people?

(please note, my selection of items is much larger than what is pictured above!)

My name is Margaux and I am also known as Retrophiliac. I am self employed and an autistic activist and advocate based out of western Canada. One of my pins is even in the Museum of Vancouver's openMOV! My main focus with my advocacy work is to push for greater resources and funding for disabled small business owners, as I firmly believe it is the most accommodating employment for those who want it. I am the current president of BC PEOPLE FIRST and we do really important work.

I design pins, patches, stickers, keychains, magnets and so much more.

The majority of my items have a disability, neurodiversity, autistic focus.

I am on Etsy and I also have my own shop best for USA & Canada - however both shops can accommodate all orders.

Etsy will handle VAT, VOSS and IOSS for international orders.

I also post frequently on instagram, facebook and tiktok.

P.S:

I run a few awesome facebook groups:

Made by Autistics Marketplace and Community

Made by Neurodivergents Marketplace and Community

Autistic inclusive dating and friends

Neurodivergent Skills Connect

Disabled Entrepreneurs/Self Employed in British Columbia

I have been receiving some less than stellar comments on some of my content and one of my designs was recently counterfeit and showed up on shein, temu, Etsy and eBay. Sharing this post with your supportive network would be something I would be grateful for! I want to reach the people who will benefit from the work I do, to hopefully create better and more understanding experiences.

The entire goal I have is to help folks but I would love the chance to expand who I am reaching.

A history and mythology lesson reminding you that trans and non-binary people have always existed! [Long post]

things i experience or have experienced due to being and growing up intersex

painful intercourse, to the point there are times i cant ignore it and we have to stop, this leads to me feeling insecure and feeling like im disappointing my partners.

extremely painful periods, to the point i went to the hospital almost every time i got one

intersexism and internalized intersexism

i grew up with no gender marker on any of my legal documents

painful cysts on my ovaries

being made fun of by sexual partners for having abnormal genitalia

having intimate photos of myself shared because AND I QUOTE “you just look weird down there”

never feeling like i fit in with the girls or boys

not feeling like im trans enough because i was never female to start so im technically not even FTM trans

having to argue with doctors because they used to acknowledge i was intersex and refuse to diagnose me as such

people not understanding when i say im intersex and having to explain my diagnosis every single time because people wont let it be at just “im intersex, that means im not male or female” and they always want more details

people staring at my genitalia, people taking photos up my skirts and asking to see my body

being made fun of when i was little for being too masculine and having male features

being excluded from the LGBT community

long story short i get stared at every time i go out all because i have tits a dick and im currently growing facial hair.
