Also intersex, and am looking forward to the movie. I'm with you that we're starved for representation.

If reading is your jam, I recently found this big list of intersex ownvoices books here: https://www.bogireadstheworld.com/intersex-ownvoices-books/

And this is a personal plug but I'm co-organizing an online Intersex Book Club where we read those books: https://intersexbookclub.tumblr.com/

are you happy you discovered this part of yourself? by bicripple in c/lgbtq_plus@beehaw.org

Figuring out that I'm intersex explained a lot for me and gave me a way to make sense of traumatic things from my pubescent years. Meeting people with similar experiences, even though they are traumatic experiences, was something very joyful for realizing I was not alone nor a weird freak.

Learning the term ipsogender was also a joyful thing for me since gave me a way to articulate that even though I agree with my assigned gender I have a lot of baggage about it and honestly relate more to trans people than to cis people.

(I'm also bi but I figured that out at an early age, my parents were reasonably supportive, and it wasn't the same kind of galaxybrain process for me as figuring out sex/gender.)

Bug season in La Mauricie? Les insectes à Mauricie? (lemmy.ca)

New to Quebec. Does anybody here have a sense of the bug season(s) in or around La Mauricie park?

I want to get some camping trips in this summer. I've been thinking of making a trip to La Mauricie in three weeks (so early July), but I'm concerned about bugs.. the last time I camped in early July in Ontario (Algonquin Park) it was absolutely miserable.

How bad will the mosquitoes be around this time? Any sense of how it compares to Algonquin? Thanks!

Nouveau au Québec. Quelqu'un ici a-t-il une idée des saisons d'insectes dans ou autour du parc de la Mauricie?

Je veux faire du camping cet été. Je pensais faire un voyage en Mauricie dans trois semaines (donc début de juillet), mais je crains des insectes.. la dernière fois que j'ai campé en début de juillet en Ontario (Parc Algonquin) c'était absolument misérable.

Combien y aura-t-il de moustiques en juillet ? Avez-vous une idée de la façon dont cela se compare à Algonquin? Merci!

Planning to explore the different Routes Vertes out of Montreal to the nearby parks. Gonna do a bike camping trip to Oka once mosquito season dies down, then later on do Ptit train du nord to Mont Tremblant. If time allows gonna try and bike out to some of the parks in the Eastern Townships.
