6.5 KiB
Even if I talk about these things openly here, I prefer that you don’t talk about me being these minorities to anyone and let me tell by myself if I see reason to do it. People interested enough can put my name to any search engine and find here sooner or later.
If you did out me, you would risk me being treated differently and possibly cause dangerous concequences.
On this page I am trying to explain myself more or those things that you might wonder in my self-description. Some things that I explain here may overlap with different features.
For more material about these things, please see GRSM links.
GirlsLikeUs — I am trans woman
It simply means that I was incorrectly defined as boy at birth which I never was. I didn’t always know it, but around 14-15 Dysphoria really hit me.
I was always different from boys and I have been always bullied and I became suicidal and depressed. I was diagnosed with AS which didn’t so much, but finally I came to realization on who I am and started the progress to be recognized as myself.
As the progress is too slow in Finland I ended up starting HRT by myself (like many (if not most) of us here do) and was on it for year before getting diagnosed and getting HRT officially.
Many people have said that I am nowadays happier and smile more and other things like that and I know this is who I am.
It’s also not very nice when you separate sex and gender by saying “your gender can be female, but you are always biologically male” and it has been noted multiple times that gender is biological. GRSM links
I feel this part doesn’t transmit how being trans feels and some things should possibly be mentioned here…
AS - Asperger’s Syndrome
I am AS-person and you might see it from the way I write and speak. I have some over-sensitive senses like sense of hearing and it becomes difficult for me to speak if I try to look into your eyes at the same time, so I am not trying to be impolite or anything, it’s just easier to not look at you while I speak. Same applies to understanding your speaking.
This paragraph is stub -.-
Ace
I am demiromantic asexual. That means that I
- can feel romantic attraction when I have formed close emotional bond with someone regardless of gender.
- don’t feel sexual attraction.
- can feel aesthetic attraction though.
The Ace of Diamonds (🃁) that you can see in my biography is asexual slang and means demiromantic asexual or demisexual.
I feel I should type something more here, but I have no idea what…
Feminist
I support equal rights for everyone and the right of self-definition (or not requiring anyone to define themselves). Everyone should also be the one to choose what they do with their body (abortion, gender transition etc.) freely without complicated researchs and other people or society judging them.
This is basicaly everything, but shouldn’t I also say something more?
Linux user
I have been used Linux since 2008, I started with Ubuntu (8.04) which I am still using. My preferred distribution is Ubuntu MATE or Ubuntu Server, but I am also familiar with other distributions, mainly Debian-deriatives.
I have experience with Fedora and other distributions from that side too and I am not entirely lost while using them, but somehow I have always preferred Debian side. Maybe it’s just that I have learned to use it.
Lately I have also been using Antergos which is [Arch Linux] with one additional repo for things such as fonts and yaourt. I have always performed base install (no desktop environment with it) as I don’t like the customizations that are made to desktop environments if I install them directly in installer. I use MATE as desktop environment and SDDM as display manager.
Hah, this is the only part of the page I feel is enough descriptive…

Please keep in mind that everything in this page is just my opinion and not all trans or AS or <any group> people are the exact same.
