About Me

Hello!

I'm a white queer transgender woman. I'm a geek who likes to read about politics and watch sci fi shows. Sometimes I enjoy making sauerkraut, kombucha, and other fermented foods.

I have worked on various political causes. My last project was organizing the NW Trans and/or Women's Action Camp (TWAC) in 2014. Sometimes I lead workshops on transgender issues, sex-positive feminism, and other topics. If you would like to learn more about me or get some reading suggestions you can check out my website. www.queersocialjustice.wordpress.com
