I am: 18 years old, nonbinary/agender, femme, queer (demisexual and grey-area aromantic), neuroatypical, kinky, and poly. 'm not currently going to school but when I do I want to study biomed and become a coroner. I like dead things, kink, sociology, psychology, feminism, witchery, and fandom. My pronouns are xe/xem/xyr or they/them/theirs. I have experience with autism (Asperger's specifically), depression, anxiety, BPD, self-harm, eating disorders, and a whole slew of other things that tie into what's already been mentioned.

My activism is a crucial part of my life, despite my strange relationship with it. It’s not quite splitting (something that happens in Borderline Personality Disorder, where a person is unable to integrate the good and bad qualities of something/someone and therefore keeps them distinctly separate), but I would call it somewhat comparable.
