Profile: Smith

Smith

You can call me… Smith

I identify as… genderqueer, fat, butch, bear, kinky, fag, geeky, and a bicycle rider

As far as third-person pronouns go, … I go with female pronouns, but occasionally get male ones, and I’d be fine with “they”.

I’m attracted to… non-normative masculinities and queer femininities. I’ve happily dated primarily fag-identified transguys in the past little while, but I have a special place in my heart for high femmes and diesel femmes.

When people talk about me, I want them to… talk about whatever they want. I care deeply about my friends’ opinions of me, but everything else is just talk.

I want people to understand… that gender may be a social construct, but that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t impact our lives in a huge way. It’s all fine and well to say that you don’t believe in gender, but that does not change the way that non-normatively gendered people have to walk through the world. People who are questioning, disrupting, and redefining gender have my utmost respect.

 

About Smith
I live and work in Victoria, BC. I’m a failed academic, and a total math nerd. I live with my best friend and my 2 kitties, and we have so much fun.
