Coming Out Day

Today is National Coming Out Day for the whole QUILTBAG rainbow and allies.

All my online venues are safe space for coming out, whatever aspect of your identity you'd like to claim today or anytime. ¡Que viva la diversidad!

Me, well, my sex/gender identity is a tesseract.  There are so many aspects to it, most of them outside the mainstream, that it won't begin to fit on a spectrum of two or three dimensions.  It was never an issue of coming out, more like codifying the fact that I can fake being ordinary for maybe three hours at maximum effort, or five minutes if I'm not paying attention to faking it.  If you're here, you probably noticed that long since.

Also, I write a lot of QUILTBAG characters.

The vast majority of the people who keep me sane and smiling are bi women, and two more are gay men. I can't *not* stand by you.

If you hadn't noticed, I *like* your kind of weird. :)
