Hi! Please call me Prisca or Elimira. I'm a transgender woman currently living in Tennessee (oh god Tennessee is awful) who's looking for her special someone. To be clear, I am looking for someone to become friends with with the intent for that friendship to develop into a romantic relationship. If all you want is friendship, well that's fine but that's not what I'm looking for at present.

Some things about me (I'm gonna use this as sort of a template because I thought it would be fun):

• My favorite food is Korean food in general, but specifically sundubu-jjigae. It's indescribably delicious and if you haven't tried it and don't have an allergy for seafood, you're missing out! I also really enjoy trying new foods in general. K want to try more Mexican foods and learn how to cook some of them.

• My favorite kinds of music are instrumental melodic metal and video game music, which can comprise of many different genres. I don't really have much of a genre preference other than preferring prevalent melody as opposed to prevalent rhythm, and I'm not really into having lyrics in the music unless I can't understand them or I have to think about what they mean. I've also been revisiting Gackt and Hyde lately, but good luck finding their music on youtube in decent quality.

• Video games are one of my most prevalent hobbies. My favorite individual game is UNDERTALE, but my favorite series is Metroid. I play lots of different games, some examples being Pikmin, Klonoa, Deltarune, Devil May Cry, F-Zero X, Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Paper Mario, Dark Souls, Mass Effect, Elden Ring, and lots more!

• Another hobby of mine, that I think definitely counts as arts and crafts, is model making. It's a close second to video games for me at this point and could possibly overtake them. I mostly build Gunpla but have also built some Star Wars kits and am hoping to eventually build my own models from scratch.

• I really love bugs. I love bees and cicadas and spiders and millipedes and all sorts of little critters. I don't like cockroaches or mosquitos or anything, but I love the nice or harmless bugs.

• Fashion wise I'm gonna have to figure out how to describe that to others but I'm definitely going for feminine over time. As for the kind of fashion I'm attracted to, I'm not entirely sure how to thoroughly quantify it, but I like femme styles. I'm pretty sure everyone likes goth styles, and I'm no exception, but I'd struggle to specify the other styles I like by name.

• Kind of related to fashion; I want my partner to be feminine. I don't care if you're cis or trans as long as you're feminine. Voice, looks, etc. I'm going for femme, eventually, but can't do that just yet, and understand if that's a deal breaker for you.

• I'm over religion right now. I think it's interesting to the extent that we don't let arbitrary nonsense dictate our lives. The mythology has certainly contributed much to the world, but I think it's time it took its place as just that. Fuck American christianity. It can die in a fire.

• I'd love to get married one day, though I'm not sure if I'd want a formal ceremony or for me and my partner to just have a personal thing where we commit ourselves to each other.

• I'm definitely monogamous. I couldn't handle polyamory.

• I wouldn't want children or pets, and I'm adamant about the children part. I like pets, but I can't handle the responsibility of taking care of another living being to that extent. This is due to some neurological disabilities, which I'll elaborate on below. I'm also allergic to both cats and dogs, sadly. Something low maintenance would possibly be fine.

• Politically, I have no idea what I would be called. All I know is I hate the system I live in and wish I lived in a society where we take care of each other whether we have a government or not. Eff the cops, BLM, trans rights, etc. I'm probably considered very far left by US standards, but that doesn't mean anything since our perspective is so messed up.

• I'm pre-transition, so I'm currently still masculine. I do intend to start transitioning, and hopefully soon, but I don't have a definite idea of when I'll be able to start hormones or voice training.

• I am on the autism spectrum and I also have ADHD. They're pretty significant, but I'm not hopeless. I mostly struggle with executive dysfunction, which impacts my ability to start tasks, stay focused, remember things, stay organized, etc. It sounds like a lot, and it is, but I'm not like, incapable of doing things. I just have to try a lot harder, and some days I can't do much on my own. I'm trying to find the right ADHD medication for my needs, and it turns out weed also helps when used responsibly. Also please forgive any awkwardness in communication from me.

• I also have depression and anxiety, but who doesn't these days? I am weening off my current antidepressant and go to therapy but some days I still get anxious or just feel miserable. It's a constant up and down it seems.

• I occasionally smoke weed for my mental/emotional health and fully intend to try psilocybin at least once. I don't smoke cigarettes/tobacco (don't want to) or drink alcohol (health reasons). I don't mind if you drink in moderation (I don't want to be around anyone who is drunk at home, but out with friends I can tolerate), but I don't want to be with anyone who smokes cigarettes (health effects and smell). I'm okay with things like weed and psilocybin done in moderation; I'm not interested in being with someone whose identity is that they smoke pot or love psychedelics. I won't be with someone who does cocaine, heroin, or other hard drugs.

That was more than I had anticipated, but I hope it gives you an idea of whether or not you'd be interested in pursuing a relationship with me. Anything from the template that you hoped I'd mention but I didn't, feel free to ask me about! If you read this far then tell me your favorite Pokémon if you have one (mine are Haunter, Steelix, and Lampent). Please, let's use private messages and not chat, as I'm on old reddit on mobile and chat is horrible for me. We can move to discord if you'd like. It's like, the only other platform I'm on haha. I hope to hear from you soon!

Edit: if you're thinking you've seen a post similar to this one, you have. I had to start a new account...
