About

I'm a gay trans man from the East coast USA. Music education major, LGBT/disability rights activist, brass musician, amateur digital artist. If you have any questions about me not answered here, feel free to send an ask. I'm a pretty open book.

DNI/Tags/ETC.

I have no DNI because of my own personal beliefs. If you're an asshole, I'll just block you. That's my philosophy. I follow/interact with truscum and tucute accounts, but generally do not reblog discourse. If this upsets you, I reccomend you do not follow.

I don't really have anything I require you to tag, either. If you can, please tag your fandom shit, because I filter tags for fandoms I'm not in so my feed isn't congested with things I'm not interested in. I try to tag more common triggers, but if I miss something feel free to reach out.

I only reclaim slurs in a joking manner. Therefore, I have decided, out of respect for others, not to use the word queer. Please do not refer to me as such. I use LGBT or LGBT+ to refer to the entire community of non-straight, non-cis people. If this upsets you, I reccomend you do not follow.

I put alt text on images I have personally uploaded. Therefore, it is not necessary to add an ID. (Although I'm not going to stop you if you want to.)
