From:

'Ello. I'm Jay. I'm British, late 20s, white, currently able-bodied, living in Sheffield in the UK with my parents. I'm a currently female-bodied transmasculine person, closeted offline. I tend to fall in love with men but I'm celibate (possibly demi-sexual) and have been forever. I'm an introvert, depressed (unipolar) and subject to rapid changes of mood and social exhaustion, and currently unemployed (I used to work at a university; I left at the end of 2008). I went to university to study classics.

I'm most passionate about books, literature, writing, culture generally. I'm a writer. Currently that is mostly coming out in fannish activity (I write mostly for The West Wing but I'm into Top Gear, Oz, Michael Chabon novels, and anything Richard Schiff is in!) but I'm moving much more towards original writing. My goal, such as it is, is to write novels professionally. I tend towards the literary fiction end of the spectrum in style, but in genre I also love SFF, certain detective/noir writing, comics, children's literature, etc. etc.! I'm also going through the shy, sensitive, introverted boy's extended fascination with Morrissey. *g*

I'm also passionate about trans rights and gender-related goings on. I'm eager to point out at any opportunity that there isn't just the one way to be queer/trans. ;) (This also crops up as a theme in my fiction writing quite a lot lately.)

I use DW as a place to be fannish, as a place to self-analyse and get to grips with my various identities and projects, as a place to meet people and be with my friends. I post with links to interesting/'important' things every now (both fannish and not) and then. I post about the progress of my writing projects rather more often. Books and TV also get a look in every now and then. I crosspost to LJ but I'm intrigued by the possibilities of DW for picking up new, predominantly non-fannish interests and new people.

Nifty community: obvious, but
