Gyne Ryan

My name is Gyne Ryan (Gyne is taken from androgyne). Remember, it is never safe to assume, so feel free to ask me questions - but be certain that you do not pose stupid, or otherwise obvious, questions.
For years I have lived like Orlando . It is strange enough to bear a hatred for your own natural form, but it is only worse when that hatred extends even to that which you long to have. And like Ligeia, I believe that there is only one meaning in life: to feed the worms in the grave.
I have little interest in sex and I do not believe in the modern, easy-to-come-by concept of love. However, I am in a relationship and he is the only man who has the right to these two sacred things.
For reasons that are far too personal, I cannot bring myself to explain the shame and hatred I have had to bear - or the motives which guide me from one point to the next. I very much doubt I will ever love myself completely; so for now I will live but only to dwell in a life-long suicide.

But despite my insecurities, anxieties and depression, all of which I modestly call "common insanity", I do not wallow in my own shit, so to speak. And, yes, I am proud of myself. After all, it comes with the territory.

I am a passionate artist and I have an obsession with beauty – which has led me into much pain and misery. As fate would have it, I am nearly finished with a new book: Serious Signs of Superficial Castration or, Sexual Suicide. I plan on working the manuscript into a graphic novel to be self-published and sold. Also, I'm looking for an agent to represent my book.
