Hello, reader. How are you doing? Do you know who I am? I want to share these mini bios.
Long ago, I used to change my one sentence bio on a social media site regularly. They felt like small poems, concentrated and often funny. So I started harvesting them into a document some years ago.
Then I was submitting an essay to a new publication, and the form asked for a bio. So I was looking at all my bio documents. Laughing, I wanted to share the mini bios with Ming and our chosen family member.
Then I thought I should share them more widely. Thank you for appreciating the introductory backstory.
note
I decided not to clean up the mini bios before sharing them. So they have old pronouns. Long ago before I used “ki kin, they them, he she,” I used “she her” like I was expected to as a child.
For a while I was trying to normalize pronoun sharing, so I put “she her” in my bios in order to care for my trans siblings and encourage a world where we all understand that gender isn’t obvious and presumable. I don’t want to presume.
Then, whoops, I arrived in Transville on my gender journey. So here we are, transing it up. I’m happy to change, and I’m sorry if my evolution is confusing. But I trust you to understand. In so many ways we change over time, if we’re lucky. I trust you not to get confused thinking I’m a woman. I’m queer enby after all.
So here are my mini bios, in all their succinct, informative glory. I like seeing the progression of ideas. What feels important about my identity fluctuates. Thank you for caring who I am.
