Heyhey! I'm r.j.--in the lowercase as a reminder not to take myself too seriously. I am a trans/non-binary scholar, activist, and writer. (If it wasn't clear, use they/them pronouns)

I'm a Scorpio, I like black cats, and I wrote this 'about me' as a tarot reading. (Oh wait, is this not a queer dating profile?)

Past- Ace of Swords

I got lucky, worked hard, and cried a lot--eventually earning a master's degree in global health from National Taiwan University. While there, I specialized in queer health, gaining a few of my own queer mental health issues along the way (thanks, minority stress).

Present- Three of Cups

I'm currently involved in LGBTQ2S+ community programming. My passion project is a participatory arts-based trans+ health program, which inspired my genderfuck poetry project here on Medium.

Future- Two of Wands

I was recently accepted to the gender studies program at Cambridge University, but I have yet to decide if I will attend. On the one hand, I dislike the colonial legacy of academia. But also, my correct pronouns feel like they/them/doctor. (What's an NBi to do?)

In the meantime, I'm imagining all the spectacular ways to genderfuck my life. Thanks for following along! xx
