IAN HARVIE
Stand Up Comedian
Butch, Trans, FTX, Queer
I am a Butch, Transgendered FTX, Queer, Standup Comedian. I identify as Female To X instead of Female To Male. The X represents something more masculine. For those who know what that means, great. For all others, you might refer to me (tenderly) as the "trannie comic".When I look down, I realize the shell I was given is biologically female. The cool thing is I can look back up then click the lever on my ViewMaster, look back down and I dont see anything feminine about my body at all. Thats the difference between my sex and my gender. My gender is not male, but masculine. Male is a word I personally reserve for biologically male-bodied people or people who believe they should have been biologically male.I love my masculinity and my history of having been socialized female (the good parts). I'm completely out in every part of my life, public about being trans, my process, and I've always felt queer and want to stay that way.

My Interests

Playing, listening to, discussing music and comedy. Listening to and learning from smart humans. On stage performance, benefit gigs in particular. The arts in all forms. High femmes (not a hobby). Life's amazing process and it's gifts. Oh yeah and being a giant corndog. Golf, tennis, and snowboarding. Communing with water that I can actually swim in. Might be found latenight with some comic buddies playing Texas Hold'em and writing new jokes or in bed on my laptop watching movies.

I'd like to meet:

Good humans, funny people, sweet dogs.

WHEN A BUTCH ELDER ASKS YOU TO SIT.. YOU SIT!!!
