About Me

I give in - I'm now also on Facebook I'm just like the boy next door if he's a queer feminist trans guy. I enjoy meeting new people, organizing socials for progressive folks in Boston and playing Scrabble and Frisbee with friends.

"My Perfect Sunday"
I'm self-amusing (and easily amused!). Consider myself a realist, ie. glass is half empty if you're drinking and half full if you're pouring. This is especially relevant if it's a Grey Goose dirty martini we're talking about!
My friends say I'm funny and reliable - and call me adorkable - and I don't disagree.
I get really into my job as an event planner and probably work too much. I love my friends and still talk to most of my exes.
You may have already figured out that you wouldn't remember me as Robbie from high school. Yep, I'm trans. Don't let that stop you from saying hi!
Ok, so I finally know what time I was born - so I decided to find out what my moon & rising signs are. Not sure what it all means, but what I just read fit like a glove. So for all you aspiring astrologers out there - here's another hint towards figuring out the mystery of Robbie:
Sun Sign: Virgo
Sun 23Â° Virgo 27'
Moon Sign: Libra
Moon 1Â° Libra 50'
Rising Sign: Sagittarius
Ascendant 12Â° Sagittarius 06' Get your astro stats

My Interests

"From this day forward, I promise never to commit, condone or remain silent about violence against women, sexual assault and domestic violence"

This is 'so just' what Boston needs!
