About Me

By day, I am disguised as a nerdy dykey trans-identified genderqueer college boy whose life revolves around school and work. At nite, I carry out missions racing against time and fighting off my adversaries with my wits and secret powers, all while maintaining my ulitmate master plan a secret.

The definition of beauty: according to Rubi...
I define beauty based NOT on the anatomy nor gender of a person nor on the orientation that one identifies as.
I define beauty based on the kindness in one's eyes. the sincerity in one's words. the warmthness in one's hugs. the intelligence that one shares. the honesty in one's heart. the disclosure of one's smile.

I am thankful for the beautiful friends that I have. *IGNORANCE is NOT tolerated here*
