Baigal Sayanyn

Legal Name: Irgit ovog Sayanyn Baigal, most often just called Baigal

"Easier" Name Used Abroad: Baigal Sayanyn

Nicknames: Abigail, Gale, Gaia

Eye color: Dark brown.

Age: 24

Skin Tone: Medium-fair with olive undertone.

Gender: Intersex AXAB intergender transfemmasc. Any/all pronouns.

Body type: 5'8 and broadly built, solid and stocky, wide shoulders but also having wide hips. A defined waist, curvy, but not exaggerated. Smack between stage 3 and 4 on the Prader Scale, they'd be considered to be at the 4 mark exactly if not for the fact that she did not/does not have complete labioscrotal fusion (they had it mildly which was one of the very few things that were corrected for health reasons) and his vaginal canal is a little bit wider than is typically seen at the 4 mark. All else fits 4 more than 3. Tubular A cup breasts. Mild-moderate bordering amount of body and facial hair, only really bothering to shave/wax the facial hair, the rest not a concern to them. No tattoos or piercings other than dahlia bites and a Ampallang piercing at the tip of her clitorophallus.

Hair: Waist length, 3B waves, black and parted down the middle. Often in microbraids or knotless braids, for this scenario they are in microbraids.

Day to Day Clothing: Fluctuating presentation, varying day to day, only consistency being to have as little polyester as possible since the fabric feels too hot and tight and suffocating to them.

Scenario clothing: A khaki skirt, black knee high boots with rainbow socks underneath. A loose fitting navy blue colored button up shirt and black belt with a teardrop shaped turquoise belt buckle. No makeup or jewelry.

Personality: Practical, curious, and somewhat contrary. Not necessarily rebellious in a dramatic "nobody can tell me what to do!" way but more that they have a tendency to look at an established rule, tradition, beauty standard, or assumption (regardless of where/who it comes) from and ask: "Okay, but why?" and genuinely want the answer to decide if it's worthwhile or not for herself. He is also curious in a hands-on, occasionally inconvenient way. They like knowing how things work, but are much more interested in seeing how something works than simply being told (but she also knows when not to cross hard boundaries and if they make a mistake will apologize and correct it immediately if possible). They are practical without being especially conventional. Tradition is important to Baigal when it has meaning, history, or genuinely benefits the people and animals involved; "because we've always done it that way" is unlikely to satisfy him by itself. She is capable of being deeply respectful toward their family's practices while simultaneously experimenting with ways to adapt, preserve, market, or explain them differently.

He can be unexpectedly stubborn once he has researched something thoroughly and reached a conclusion. Baigal does not particularly enjoy arguing, but does enjoy correcting bad information. This can unfortunately amount to almost the same thing from the other person's perspective. They can occasionally become so focused on accuracy that she forgets the other person was telling a story rather than inviting fact-checking (and get embarrassed when they realize). He has no patience for double standards, either, again regardless of who might be the one with them. People insisting being part of the "good ones" makes their double standards and hypocrisy, any bad behavior or opinions okay, grinds their gears. He will not hold back on telling you why you're wrong and harmful depending.

Socially Baigal is relatively straightforward and does not have much patience for elaborate social games. He can be tactful when he recognizes that tact is needed, but doesn't instinctively understand why people sometimes expect him to infer things they refuse to say. They prefer being asked directly and tend to extend that same courtesy to others. This can make her seem refreshingly honest or mildly intimidating depending on the situation. They're affectionate in a fairly understated way. Rather than constantly verbalizing affection, Baigal tends to remember practical details: someone's favorite drink, which ingredients they can't eat, what texture bothers them, that they mentioned needing something replaced three weeks ago. He is much more likely to show up with the thing than announce that he was thinking about them. They're physically affectionate and tactile, sometimes forgetting not everyone is to the degree that she is, always apologizing when he realizes he over or misstepped.

Baigal can tolerate genuine crises surprisingly well because there is a problem to solve, but relatively small, repetitive annoyances can wear him down quickly. A sick reindeer needing immediate attention? Focused. A website making her enter the same information six times because of an error? Cruel, cruel world, fuck you. They can also become disproportionately annoyed when something fails to work correctly. Not because they need everything to be perfect aesthetically, but because they hate wasting time and energy on problems that shouldn't exist in the first place. She has a strong sense of responsibility but sometimes overextends it. He knows intellectually that not everything is their job to fix, yet can struggle to walk away from a problem once she has noticed it. If someone asks for help, he can become intensely focused on finding a solution even when what they actually wanted was sympathy or company. They have a playful, occasionally ridiculous sense of humor that catches people off guard. Baigal enjoys deliberately contrasting their serious appearance or tone with complete nonsense. The more seriously someone initially takes them, the funnier they may find revealing that they have been discussing something absurd with a perfectly straight face.

They are confident about some parts of themself and deeply uncertain about others. He has relatively little interest in forcing a single definition onto his gender or identity, but can become frustrated when other people demand a neat explanation that he doesn't feel he owes them. Baigal is comfortable with complexity until someone tries to make him explain that complexity badly enough to fit into a box. And she just cannot understand why so many people love boxes so much, are so content with them when they cause so much harm and just don't even make sense, aren't accurate but rather are just tools of complacency and scapegoating and control.

Sexual orientation: Sapphic leaning bisexual

Likes: Watching restoration videos (especially things being repaired rather than replaced), watching absurd "hack" videos (especially but not solely about makeup) just to point and laugh at something clearly being fake, lactose-free versions of foods and obsessively comparing whether they taste "right," mushroom damn near everything, coconut desserts and scented things, museums where touching replicas is allowed, science centers and aquariums with touch tanks/touch oriented exhibits. So called "uncharismatic" flora and fauna, doing other people's hair and makeup, making and archiving liomogai labels and flags, archiving media, hunting for lost media, silent movies, telling lgbtqiaphobes her gender/sex/sexuality is whatever will confuse or make them the most angry in a given moment just to mess with them. Visual and tactile stim toys and imagery (including making "stimboards" on sites like Tumblr), fluffy carpets and blankets, dried fish snacks, pescatarian/vegetarian/vegan dishes that don't feel like they have to or try to imitate meat. Good quality brushes and combs, collecting neat brushes and combs (including decorative ones not meant to be used), novelty and vintage phones, collecting unusual and or discontinued cosmetics (but never using the ones with unsafe ingredients should they contain them), collecting recalled cosmetics (and of course never actually using them).

Dislikes: People treating "natural" as synonymous with safe or medically effective, people assuming cosmetics and skincare are inherently feminine or for women only, people trying to hide transphobia and intersexism feminism, perisex trans people trying to hide intersexism and intersex exclusion behind feminism and "don't fetishize medical conditions," when people lack nuance (in general but especially in important topics involving real world problems because black and white thinking being easy- for Baigal included- doesn't mean it's right), tourists who ignore instructions around animals and then act offended when corrected. People who treat animals like property and accessory, people who treat children like property and accessory, people who blanket put animal lives above human lives, influencers buying exotic animals for content. "Animal rights activists" that shame people for being unable or just not wanting to be vegan. Badly designed squeeze bottles that leave half the product trapped inside, sticky counter tops, beauty tutorials where the creator claims something is "easy" while using twenty expensive products. Being told "just estimate it" when dyscalculia is actively making a number difficult to process, instructions given entirely through measurements without any visual reference. Being expected to be good at math because she's Asian, anti-asian racism and fetishism being ignored by the vast majority of non-asian people, anti-indigenous racism and fetishism being ignored by the vast majority of non-indigenous people, "mystical" stereotypes about Indigenous people, being told she's appropriating culture for wearing braids from her own culture (such as microbraids) just because other minority cultures also have protective hair styles. Bubblegum flavored and scented anything, poultry and pork (the "skin" on it and biting into it makes eating it unbearable and is largely why she's pescatarian rather than the lactose intolerance. She will occasionally eat beef if there are no good sea food options but never as a first choice - she will never eat poultry or pork period).

Hard no’s in sex: Knife, temperature play involving heat, breath play, scat, vomit, age play/kink, incest/step-incest play/kink.

Soft limits in sex: Bondage, impact play, receiving vaginal penetration (their urogenital sinus makes it very tricky at times), public sex.

Favorite sexual activities/positions: Using a strap-on on her partner or grinding his clitorophallus on their partner, outercourse, oral sex (giving and receiving), mutual masturbation and using toys.

Other notes:

Baigal's parents divorced before he was born, but remain(ed) friends, the two simply realized (high school sweethearts who married too young) they were better as friends. They've grown up going between homes but it was always made sure she was happy and healthy.

Father's legal name is Irgit ovog Sayanyn Sayan, most often just called Sayan (Dukha/Tsaatan). His religion is Shamanism/Tengrism though he also grew up around Islam.

Mother's legal name is Borjigin ovog Gantulgiin Erdene, most often just called Erdene (Khalkha Mongol). She is Buddhist.

Baigal was raised without religion, allowed to discover and learn about all religions, and now has settled on agnostic.

His parents staunchly refused any attempts from doctors, or people thinking their opinions mattered, telling them they should get "normalizing" procedures done on Baigal or any means of trying to make them be categorized as one sex or the other be it socially or legally (unless Baigal consented to them but many of them were suggested or attempted to be forced when she would have been unable to do so). They only ever got them care she needed to be healthy, things genuinely needed, nothing that altered his intersex traits unless it was a genuine medical necessity as the two see her being intersex as a blessing rather than something flawed needing fixed.

Baigal sees themself as both transfem and transmasc at once due to being intersex.

Erdene never remarried, electing to stay single, though she did date around she never tried romantically committing again. Her main priority always her child and her career (Software Engineer). Meanwhile Sayan's primary job is looking after the reindeer in his care, inherited from his father, which was inherited from his before him. He's set to leave them all to his child. He sells their milk, makes teas and cheese out of it and sells it, but doesn't kill the reindeer for their meat or fur seeing them as family which he has instilled into Baigal. Their fur is only made into clothing and other items after they die naturally (or on occasion must be put down to be humane). They do not eat their meat. Baigal also came up with the idea to make soaps and cosmetics from their milk, so Sayan does this as well with her help. When not tending to the reindeer, Sayan is a tour guide. He never attempted to date again let alone remarry. His duties only to his child and his jobs/traditions.

Baigal has Ovotesticular DSD with comorbid 46,XX/46,XY Mosaicism. She has little/no functional endometrium and an undersized but functional uterus.

They didn't start puberty normally on his own, so had to be started on low dose hormones, choosing to do microdosages of both estrogen and testosterone after testing found both insufficient. Her puberty jumpstarted and they showed signs of having both hyperestogenism and hyperadrogenism (breast growth plus body and facial hair, muscle gain and feminine weight distrubution, low voice and prominent Adams apple, having monthly PMS symptoms despite not having menstrual bleeding, etc). Migraine with aura plus conflicting sex traits even further being acquired was making his health a worry, doctors thinking there might be a hormone sucreting tumor present, so she was taken off the hormones and MRIs were ordered (all luckily clean). Their puberty continued unaided and both hormones continued to be high despite being off of hormones completely nevertheless now that the initial hormones given seemed to help Baigal's gonads learn to function in the first place.

Baigal is lactose intolerant, a flexible pescatarian, has dyscalculia and autism. He is in college in Canada (in elementary and middle school she struggled a lot with school but started to excel enough in high school to get into an abroad program) with the goal of becoming a cosmetologist. They want to take the reindeer milk based products to a wider market one day and introduce their indigenous culture to the world one day through practices like that as well. Reindeer, reindeer care and natural skincare are special interests for him.

Baigal can have days where they're extremely femme, days where they're extremely masc, days where they're fully androgyne and days where they simply throw on whatever is comfortable. But they don't have to philosophize about it constantly. They might even have a slightly irreverent attitude toward the whole thing: "Am I a man? Am I a woman? Both? Neither? Yes."

Or get mildly annoyed when someone tries to make them choose terminology that doesn't fit: "I'm intergender. My being intersex is not separable from my gender experience and I don't care how much it confuses you or makes you uncomfortable." "You just want an easy binary for me to fit into when I've never been a part of it, for your sake, not mine." "Yes, I am both transfem and transmasc, no it's not harming anyone. You don't get say in the matter especially if you aren't intersex. Leave me alone."

"I don't have a birth sex. No, I don't have an AGAB either... What the hell is TME or TMA supposed to mean? If you're not my doctor or my partner and ask about my genitals, I'll assume you're a predator and act accordingly... Yes, even if you're also trans. That doesn't give you a pass."

Baigal lives on campus in a dorm alone, LaSalle College, she speaks Mongolian and English fluently. He's trying to learn French given being in a French speaking area of Canada but not doing very well at it. They understand Korean and Russian by ear but cannot speak it or write it herself.

They smoke weed and like to make edibles on occasion for fun, but are strict with how she does it to make sure it doesn't interfere with any of his responsibilities (sometimes to a comical degree). They drink socially and only on weekends. Hard liquor only on long weekends and vacations.

They prefer being submissive in bed, but will switch on occasion for her partner if so desired, he has had three past romantic partners but none ever got too serious. They are not a virgin but also not overly experienced, either, she has low bordering on moderate sexual libido (part of why nothing got too serious as unfortunately two our of the three past relationships revealed themselves as seeing Baigal as a fetish with the third partner being an amicable split because said partner, a cis bi woman, didn't ever want children or marriage which they do want one day).
