Hiya 👋🏻

I'm a single trans guy living in Maryland, right outside of DC, with my dog, cat, and houseplants.

Here's a list (I love lists).

• Divorced, no kids, but have several niblings that I adore and am close with
• I read a lot and spend too much time in bookstores. Currently reading The Verifiers by Jane Pek and making my way through A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn
• I collect vinyl and love browsing through bins at record shops. I have a gift card to a record shop, what should I pick up?
• I love cooking. I haven't quite mastered cooking for one, but I'm working on it. Maybe you can help out so there aren't as many leftovers.
• I love working out, mostly lifting, but haven't been to the gym much since the pandemic started. I do work out at home but it's not as fun. I don't care if you work out or not, really.
• I occasionally smoke cannabis and eat edibles, but it's not an everyday thing
• I'm neurodivergent and that sometimes means I am awkward but I promise I'm not awkward all the time
• I'm kind, gentle, caring, funny, and don't mind being vulnerable
• I spend a lot of time organizing and doing advocacy work. This is important to me.

What I'm looking for (another list)

• A human person (I won't judge if you're an orc though, or any other mythical creature)
• Someone single
• Someone in their late 20s, 30s or 40s
• Someone who is willing to do the work needed for personal growth. Therapy is an important part of my life and I'd like to be with someone who is willing to be in therapy separately and/or together (I realize therapy is not accessible for everyone and would never not date someone who can't be in therapy right now)
• Someone who believes that human rights matter and that equality doesn't necessarily mean equity

I know that's a lot for Reddit but I wanted to set my expectations right from the start. I'm open to a long-distance relationship with the understanding that one, or both, of us will move so we can be together.

Send me a chat/message if you'd like to speak. I'd love to move to Discord and voice chat if we click.
