December 2022: Monthly Social

[virgosplaining]

12/02/2022 - 12/04/2022

Good day! One of the things I wanted to start around here is a monthly get-together to get to know each other and chat about what we please. I'm going to try to make this every first Friday of each month. In the future I might devise more specific themes, but for this round I'd love to do an almost friending-meme sort of post. For everyone who doesn't want to post a separate post for an introduction, please come here!

Otherwise, free for all! Got trans artists & art to recommend? Want to share your own? Want to talk transition? Got fun anecdotes to share? Go on to your heart's content!

Hi all! I'm fine with any pronouns, but most default to she/her or they/them. I am an ambiguously genderqueer, pangender, perceived-as-a-woman type person. My general thoughts on gender are yes. I'll have the gender. Yes, all of them. I'll take your gender out of your bag while you aren't looking, if you're not careful.

I have a great many interests, including mathematics, violence prevention, outreach/volunteering, community-building, self-care, and fandom (mainly Star Trek, Leverage, and BBC Merlin). I am a notorious collector of links and resources, for all sorts of different ends. See my journal for some examples; most of my recent posts are resource lists.

One of my main professional interests is prevention and education regarding interpersonal violence (AKA sexual violence, relationship violence, and stalking). I have specific interests in the nuances of helping genderqueer survivors, taking a non-gender reductive approach to the examination of the role of misogyny in interpersonal violence, and analyzing the relationship between transphobic fear mongering and rape culture. I have been working in the field for 5 years (since even before I identified as genderqueer) and I learn more every day.
