[edit] About Me

I live somewhere in the NYC/NJ metro area, most commonly inhabiting Greenwich Village (aka The Village) in NYC. What I do for a living depends on the day really, but I can tell you that I specialize in photography and still function as a boardmember for the SOSDG and AHBL.

I also am an activist, supporting the ideas of many groups like NCSF (recently, I have stopped supporting the HRC due to their two-faced nature of support for transgendered and gender-variant individuals).

I'm an experienced Linux systems administrator with a background in building and operating Internet Service Providers. I also have an extensive background in customer support positions.


[edit] Gender, Sexuality, And Lifestyle

As a transgendered woman, I am a great example of gender and sexuality being separate things entirely. I am a chapstick/soft butch lesbian.

I am also polyamorous and practice safe, sane, and consensual BDSM. Part of my work as an activist includes demonstrations to 'vanilla' couples on how to use BDSM practices to improve play in the bedroom. Previously, I have performed with Lady Arielle at WickedFair Labyrinth (2007), WickedFair (Feb 8/9th, 2008), the will be at the upcoming Totally Normal Event (June, 28th, 2008).


[edit] Editing On Wikipedia

I mostly maintain the articles of the SOSDG and AHBL (yes, I am aware of the conflict/POV issues here, but there is not much known history of either group, and I'm trying to rectify that in order to give people a much more full view of who we are in a NPOV fashion). There are also times I've had to do reverts and updates on pages I've noticed that need them.

If you have problems with my editing of an article, please let me know and I'll see about handling your concerns.
