Profile: Sylvan

Woman with pale skin wearing a red button down shirt and a black vest. Her hair is cut short and uneven, dyed red. She is looking at the camera with her chin tilted up.

You can call me… Sylvan

I identify as… a woman. with trans history. who is genderqueer in a m2f2m2f2wtf sort of way.

As far as third-person pronouns go, … she/her/hers is great.

I’m attracted to… wicked smart badass femme ladies of all persuasions, faggoty boys who are not cis. androgynous type folk who have genders as mercurial as my own.

When people talk about me, I want them to… know that I’m a transwoman and forget that I am a transwoman at the same time. I am a lot stronger than you imagine.

I want people to understand… that transwomen have an equal right to badass feminist spaces, I’m tired of feeling so damned outnumbered.

About Sylvan
I do a lot of things I don’t want to talk about here. I’m not particularly interested in being remembered or known.

    Gorgeous. So natural and love the ‘FU’-vibe she has. I would not mind looking as good as her.

    You seem like someone I’d like to get to know; so I think it’s a pity you’re not interested in being known!… (though then again, why did you submit a profile?:))
