Profile: Syd
You can call me… Syd/SYD/SyD or just Syd would be totally acceptable.
I identify as… Human (as opposed to cyborg or Saibot…heh heh…yes, I’m dorkydope!).. but really, I’m a Transguy.
As far as third-person pronouns go, … I prefer masculine pronouns. Sir, Mr., Gentleman, he, him, his…admittedly I feel a rush of happiness come over me when someone refers to me with a masculine pronoun on their own accord. There’s nothing like it! Pure joy. One of my “advisors” on FTM life told me that I should be patient with people who knew me prior to my transition and that if they still say “She, hers, etc.” I should try to be understanding of it but listen… I’m running out of patience. SORT. IT. OUT.
I’m attracted to… My wife ?
When people talk about me, I want them to… avoid being douchey (courtesy is a big deal for me) and I’d like for them to use tongue-twisters. I also want them to talk about the traits of myself that are not readily visible. It would also be great if they would pause for a moment, midthought, and smile because they remembered something I said or did that helped them feel good about themselves.
I want people to understand… that this my life homie, you decide yours.
I would also like for people to understand that there are a helluva lot of different people in this world, hell — living on their block! Try not to be so immediately afraid of what you don’t understand. If you learn about it, and still don’t like it, then I can respect you. I don’t do too well with suffering fools.
About Syd
Syd is a Saivite, a freelance artist specializing in dance (Hip hop, Modern, Jazz), is a former drag king (but since he dresses with masculinity all the time… it’s not drag for him), a man devoted to his woman, and a good friend. He’s kinda funny sometimes too… depending on who you ask. He also likes to refer to himself in the third person. Solid!

Syd, you are impossibly cool.
also:
“but listen… I’m running out of patience. SORT. IT. OUT.”
YES THIS. I’m MT”F” and the inverted-commas part of me always hates when people say ‘just wait until you start presenting’ or ‘when the hormones whatever’.
It’s like, the whole POINT of the exercise is that gender is more than just which part of my body the chocolate sticks to or what fabric I use to hided it.
