My Marxist Feminist dialectic brings all the enlightened young women to the yard, and they're like "It's more egalitarian than yours", damn right it's more egalitarian than yours; I could educate you but I'd have to first establish a non-capitalist skill-swapping economy through which to arrange a reasonable trade for my time and efforts.
"If I told you your eyes are more beautiful than Emma Goldman's writing, would you smash patriarchal notions of human sexuality with me?"

I'm no longer in a committed polyamorous relationship. I still think that it's a model of relationship that can work well and ours didn't end due to other partners, it ended due to a complete breakdown in communication and only one party in the relationship wanting to put the effort into making it work. It's also worth noting that I'm one of those people who is perfectly comfortable in either monogamous relationships or polyamorous relationships, so for the right person I'd be comfortable with whichever type they preferred. I do believe that the human heart is capable of holding more than one person in it at a time and that the current focus on monogamy comes from the patriarchal concept of women as property and securing heirs in a society focused on property ownership, so my views on sociology, misogyny, and capitalism in addition to an understanding of biology and anthropology all inform my views on polyamory . I think that open and honest communication is one of the most important things to maintaining a close relationship or any type. As I am now without a partner I'm looking for a pretty wide range of interactions, I'm always up for meeting cool new friends, physical and romantic partners, and I'm also open to finding a primary emotional partner, someone I can spend my time with and build something long term and meaningful with (not to imply that short term things can't be meaningful).
I'm a radical in many ways, I'm an activist, a feminist, an anarchist (although I see socialism as our best bet currently I see anarchism as a realistic ideal to strive for), an environmentalist, a queer rights activist, a trans rights activist, a labor rights enthusiast, I am anti-capitalist, anti-fascist, anti-Zionist (cool with Jews, issues with the state of Israel and the war-crimes they commit), etc. etc. I have a lot of strongly held views about which I strive to remain well informed.
I fall under the queer umbrella, I'm attracted to intellect and personality as well as feminine and androgynous physical traits and if I'm interested in someone based on those grounds I really don't care what's between their legs. As far as dating and relationships go, I'm most interested in cis and trans women, feminine and androgynous genderqueers, and maybe a really feminine cis or trans guy but it'd really have to be the right guy to interest me beyond friends and fooling around.
I'm currently living in Tampa and staying at Occupy Tampa, so my current home is a tent lol. Kitty and I are looking into renting a place in the Tampa area though, as I've found decent work here.
I consider myself both an epistemological and methodological naturalist, I think that the natural world is what there is and that's it. I'm ultimately agnostic and open to the possibility that I'm wrong, but functionally I'm neither religious or especially spiritual. I'm not comfortable dating anyone from a traditional monotheistic religion, but a poly/pan theist or pagan is fine as long as you're willing to accept that our views are and likely will remain different, and it also depends on the range and depth of said pagan's beliefs.
I have two tattoo's and plan on getting more. On my left shoulder blade I have the words Cogito Ergo Sum which is Latin for 'I think therefore I am' and on my left forearm I have a radial version of the evolutionary tree of life showing off my status as a Biology nerd lol. I also have my ears stretched to 1/2" plugs, 3 cartilage piercings, my tongue pierced, and a 6ga Prince Albert.
I'm an apostate (aka former) christian and atheist and have been active in local groups previously for both atheism and skepticism. Ultimately they were more social groups than anything else and they gave me the opportunity to form many good friendships.
My social views are rather radical; I think queer rights and womens rights are incredibly important because ultimately they're human rights and the fact that our society punishes people simply for being who they are is a great injustice. I'm also fairly active on labor issues and issues of social justice and environmentalism. I consider myself to be a post-third wave feminist and have issues with the way that much of mainstream feminism, particularly second wave and early third wave along with many RadFems, deligitimzes the concerns of transwomen and People Of Color. I also find it troubling that so much focus is on gay marriage right now even though it's predominately a concern of gay white men while trans women and genderqueers have to worry about getting attacked for going to the bathroom and most states still allow for them to be legally discriminated against in terms of employment, housing, etc. That said, if you're opposed to queer equality, think Ayn Rand is one of the greatest authors of the past century, believe Ron Paul is the best hope for our country, or happen to be fond of Fox News (Faux "News"), we probably won't get along very well.
