I am not sure what to write here, but it seems customary to write an introduction for myself. Yes, I am transsexual which may or may not show up. Mostly I will be giving my commentary on world events and putting some of my ideas to paper.
About who I am:
I am a lot of things, my hatred for authoritarian thinking started after a good friend of mine was shot and killed by the police. My best friend getting 30 years for drug-related charges, as well as a bunch of bullshit with the DEA that I would rather not get into. However, I did not start calling myself an anarchist until a bet with my Hubby trying to be a vegetarian for a few weeks, while he still eats meat but, he did try so I call myself an anarchist. I can best be described as anti-authoritarian and have always been to one degree or another.
If anything it was these events that lead me to become more or less a shut-in. For a couple of years, I stayed at an ISKCON commune but could not accept the beliefs and ended up getting married and left the organization.
I went to school and majored in many different things and found ways to make money, while very slowly taking steps to resolve my Gender Dysphoria. The business's I was doing got destroyed by Katrina and we moved to Florida to finish up school. I was never able to get back on my feet the money I had accrued went to living expenses as I returned to being a shut-in approx 6-7ish year. (outside of odd jobs) There was some work I was doing on Computational Linguistics and I was getting job interviews in San Jose when the jealous ex-wife went apeshit and made sure to land me in the hospital. I never fully recovered from that
A lawsuit and a brain injury latter. With the help of my family (and a lot of hospitalizations) to get me to recovery, I am still alive. I have lived my life, and enjoy what I do helping people deal with suicide ideation. I can't do the same shit I used to, nor do I want to.
I joined up with the BDSM subculture, something that I had played with in my past marriage. I to took a while to find it, but I found what I was looking for and had my pick of partners. I have been wearing Toms collar for 2 and a half years. Together we seek the same isolated life of a small cabin in the woods.
About what I will talk about:
First off I am a transhumanist with a posthuman ideal. Meaning, I want to use current and evolving science and technology to change the very nature of what it means to be human to the point where we can no longer be considered human at all.
I have decided to embrace Voluntarism as an ethics, while many people see this as advocating for Capitalism since I tend to agree with Ancaps. This is simply not the case.
I support non-aggression and I see consent as the best form of an ethical measure.
While I do not want to talk about the whole Trans debate much as I think there is too much of that going around, I might talk about this a very small bit.
Honestly, it is hard to see. I just want to organize my own thoughts and where it goes it will go. I can not force it, nor do I want to.
It will most likely just be anti-state rants and mocking those in power.
It's not my style to use force.

Greetings,
So I have a long standing interesting in Transhumanism and have taken to writing about it fairly regularly here on Steemit. Outtheshell recently suggested I contact you regarding a recent post I made about the relationship - or lack thereof - between the H+ and Trans communities. It is a disconnect that would be worth some effort to bridge so you may be interested in the article and perhaps some discussion on how to effect this communities connection.
Oh, that is an interesting topic. I honestly have not thought about it very much. On a very superficial level transsexuals are among the first of the transhumans as we push the limits of our birth sex. However, there is a lot of political turmoil at the status of trans people and our place in society. I would be interested in this thank you.
welcome to steemit kittyhplus

Don't vote like mad, you do have voting power that decreases over it's use, so be a bit stingy with it. I have an article on Steemit and Bandwidth you should check out, it's got a lot of details about saving bandwidth, what to do when bandwidth limit is exceeded, the most slammed time for the network, being more stingy with your upvotes and why, that sort of thing.
If you have any questions or need help you know how to contact me on the twatter.
Yep. I joined. I want to like everything just like on my twitter, thank you for the advice :3
