About

If you only knew one thing about me, know this: The things that I do are never for the suffering of others. My ultimate goal is the betterment of mankind. Should you find yourself offended by my words or actions, know that I mean only the best, and seek understanding into the meaning of what you perceive as harmful so that I may clear up any misconceptions.

Other things about me are many and varied. It's been 9 years since I last updated this page, and a lot has changed since then. I came out as trans in October 2011, and started transitioning in December 2012 with HRT. I changed my name to Emily in 2014. In 2016, I received breast augmentation and facial reconstructive surgery. In 2019, I received the final confirming surgery. Now I am a woman in mind, body, and soul. I have never been more at peace with myself.

With my words, I fight for equality. I seek a world in which no being is ostracized for who they are; a world of peace and unity. It may be far off, but I believe it may yet be attainable within my lifetime. Failing that, I at least hope to leave the world better off then it was when I entered it.

I once followed the precepts of Celtic Reconstructionist Paganism, a Neo-Pagan movement with the purpose of reviving the traditions of the ancient Druids. Though the specifics are not nearly as rigid as one might find in an Abrahamic religion, I can share some of my former personal beliefs here, which I had accrued as a result of my own experiences. I believed in and worshipped several gods and goddesses, and had felt their blessings and protection. I believed that when I die, I would be reincarnated onto a higher spiritual plane; when I lived out my existence there, I would again be reincarnated unto higher earthly plane, then up again to spiritual, and so on and so forth unto Paradise. This filled me with joy, for it meant that I would be able to spread my good-willed influence throughout a great portion of the multiverse, and bring happiness to many. As I've said before, I wish only to help others, and I can see no greater fate then to do so wherever my spirit may travel.

Since then, I've found Unitarian Universalism, a covenant that fits me to a T. It's all about leaving the world better than we entered it! And it has zero conflicts with my pagan faith.

The world seems like a very dangerous place right now, with COVID and Trump and whatnot. But I will never give up trying to make things better for the people around me. Since February 2019, after settling in to an antidepressant regimen that works for me, I have sworn off suicidal ideation, and apart from a current hiccup in my medication supply caused by moving states and changing doctors, things have been looking bright.
