New Group: Intersex · 5:00am Aug 22nd, 2021
Since I had no good place to post an intersex story, NicLove kindly created a group for intersex stories/discussion and allowed me take the reins:
Intersex
No, this isn't canon. Do not fight in the comments.
Originally Nic designed it for intersex and nonbinary, but those are different concepts and nonbinary stories already have a place in the Transgender Bronies group.
To the best of my knowledge, I'm endosex (i.e. non-intersex), but I know one intersex person very well personally and I've known a few online. Consequently, I'm aware of some of the medical, social, and legal issues that many intersex individuals wrestle with, such as mutilation of genitals shortly after they're born in an attempt to cram them into the male or female boxes (which happened to the man I know personally—sadly, it is extremely common).
The group is labeled SFW because it is concerns an important topic in queer culture that, although inherently "sexual" perhaps more than other LGBT topics, is very relevant to some children and can be discussed in a manner that is appropriate for all audiences. (This means discussions will need to steer clear of graphic descriptions of genitals, sex, and fetish content.) M stories are still permitted because a separate filter applies to them.
All stories must fall into one or more of the following categories:
- A character is born with (or naturally develops) any sex characteristics that are uncommon for their species.
- A character gains potentially permanent intersex traits at genetic/natural level (not just surgery/hormones).
- A whole species has a sex neither male nor female (e.g. four changeling sexes; alicorns are hermaphrodites).
There are no other restrictions on stories, but I suspect most fetish stories with sexual ambiguity only feature temporary magical changes, surgical enhancements, or endosex transgender characters, and thus would not fit these criteria. My most recent story will be added to the latter two categories once I add a couple more chapters.
I encourage you to share the new group with others, and please add stories if you know of any featuring intersex characters! It'd be great if we had more intersex representation in stories on Fimfiction. Writing stories that tackle this issue with seriousness in order to contribute to the group would naturally be very welcome.
Thanks! 
Oh, nice. :)
I do not, to my knowledge, personally know any intersex people, nor unfortunately am I currently thinking of any stories to add to the group, but this sounds like a good idea; thanks to you and NicLove for having it and executing it.
...Um. Hm. Though it looks like your link to the group in the blog post isn't working; I'm just getting a 403 page.
Oh I loved the story nipples. And I'm sure it's a great fit here
"Endosexual"
That's a very useful word to know! :)

Just FYI, I hadn't set the group public and apparently nopony can access it if you don't do that. It should work now.

I'm not sure endosexual is, I think it's just endosex, but I'm not sure. I mean, I don't think you say 'intersexual', that'd be more like you're oriented toward intersex people? I don't really know though.

good point
endosexual
So, you keep your genitalia hidden inside yourself? I'd not known that.

Wait, doesn't everypony?
At least Spike does, at least if my most recent story has anything to say about it.

Ah, yes, seems to be working now. Thanks!
