hi hi new message board! well this is it. this is where i wow you with my presence and gain friends by introducing myself and being all "hey" and then you're all "hey" back and okay. i have never been good at this as is evident in this post thus far so to distract from my current ineptitude here is a picture that roughly represents me in personality okay. but really. i don't use caps often because quick blogging has got me into this habit but i s2g i have two BAs, one in History and the other in Sociology & Anthropology, and i have worked exhaustively in women's rights, sexual assault prevention and awareness, lgbt rights, and immigrant rights programs. my heart is really with lgbt youth and issues facing sex workers. i am an intersectional feminist, bordering on radical feminism minus any "trans* critical" aspect. and i hope that while i'm figuring some things out career wise in my life i can help others with what i've learned over these years and get some support and community myself. as a lesbian, my background is a bit muddled. tried things out with my bestie at 14 bestie told basically everyone and i slithered into a hidey hole around 16 i thought about it again and thought why maybe i'm not straight at 19 one my best friends came out to me as queer and i was like "whoah is that okay?" i was bisexual and then queer for basically all of college but after about 2 sort of unfulfilling relationships i sort of got introspective at 24 i told my current best friend that i think i'm just a flat out lesbian and he was like "yeah that makes sense, can we go i'm really hungry and pub burgers are calling my name." i'm 25 and still a bit squeaky and new at coming out and whatever and i've never had a queer/homosexual relationship, just physical trysts but i've been on 2 dates with a real cutie and have my 3rd tomorrow so maybe! so basically, i'm still kinda coming out and i kinda think that it's really a process that you never totally complete. coming out is just queer life, ya'know? we're always finding out something about ourselves and developing. it's the coolest part about being in a culture of so many different types of people. anyway~~ i've talked way too much. so, hello!
