I'd like to take this opportunity to come out. There's a particular trait pertaining to my appearance about which I've been in public denial for a good portion of my life, but I've since come to terms with and embraced this characteristic of myself. It's only natural and totally acceptable to be this way. I'm fully prepared for the stereotyping and jokes that will likely ensue. Therefore, I'm publically declaring that it's true: I'm blonde.

...hopefully if you're ok with that, you're also ok with the fact that I'm gender-variant.

I'm a very curious and creative individual who enjoys exploring and meeting new people. I love learning new things and will try anything at least once. I would consider myself friendly & outgoing, quiet yet well-spoken, and approachable, but with high standards. I am a non-drinker, drug-free, and prefer the company of the same. I would consider myself successful, reliable, and organized.

I'm seeking a feminine female who is similarly ambitious, educated, clean, monogamous, honest, openminded and affectionate with whom to share hobbies and adventures. I generally do not respond positively to individuals solely interested in the fact that I'm transgender. Common interests and activities are ideal, but not required. Be unique, patient, and open to new things.

Building wealth as a civilian electrical engineer working for the US government. I troubleshoot electrical issues on 688 class Naval Submarines. It's interesting and rather lucrative, but not a passion. I'd much rather be designing something.

I spend time at the gym frequently after work to further enable my blossoming modeling hobby, which is one of my present creative outlets. I find it relaxing and fun to get made over and express myself.

My spare time is spent occasionally traveling to new places and chasing new adventures.

Confusing strangers by using the men's bathroom sometimes.
Footbag/hacky sack.
Problem solving.
Mathematics. I think in charts/graphs and logic functions.
Martial Arts. There is beauty in strong body dynamics.
Investing. I enjoy locating opportunities with minimal risk/stable returns and love the idea that my own assets are paying me.

I seem to be pretty good at teaching/tutoring as well. I find it personally satisfying to convey an intuitive and practical understanding of a topic I happen to know well to interested individuals in a memorable way with the goal of instilling a critical thought process. I've taught martial arts, advanced mathematics, hacky sack and undergrad engineering topics.

Usually my self-confidence and my strong personality.
My blue eyes? Blonde Hair? Or perhaps something else? Tell me what you first notice about me from my profile.

Maximizing my investment dividends.

Anything that strikes me as fun at that moment: working on electrical designs, spending time with friends, shopping, watching a movie, meeting new people, or going to a goth/fetish night club in the greater Boston area.

I'm secretly terrified of drowning, falling, and dying unloved. I'm also a moderate Domme with a fetish for bridal gowns.

I'd much rather date a woman who is attracted to me as a person without a history of specifically seeking transgender partners.

You believe we may have something in common or want to be friendly. I enjoy intellectually-stimulating conversation of an adventurous, technolgical, or social nature.

Disclaimer: Males should respect my sexual orientation which is mentioned several times in my profile; failure to abide by this simple request will earn him a potentially profane response (prior to being blocked) depending on my mood. Additionally, no romantic inquiries over the age of 34, no smokers, no married/poly couples, and no single parents. Thanks!
