About Me

I'm a grad student and queer activist living in west-end toronto. I love kissing, spooning, sleeping in and waking up naturally. I crave intellect and argument, active bs avoidance, and people who desire to explore the world in a way that goes beyond popping into their local flight centre - like maybe through opening up and learning about the world through someone else. I take care of myself, my body at least and stay relatively sane doing yoga, dancing, and biking. Add in being a socialist, feminist, and radical gender radical. I'm a hopeless sweety, closet romantic, and . I seem to come across as initmidating sometimes which is just silly. I'm 'hot' i've been told but would never actually use those words to describe myself. I've kinda had my life taken over in the past couple of years by thinking about gender a lot, so much so that i actually decided to change mine. It sort of happened overnight but so far things are doin' alright. Kinda creates issues for dating, maybe a factor in why i'm here.
