My life experience has made me an excellent resource for sensitivity reading on a wide variety of subjects.
As a transgender man, I have lived experience in the first part of my life as a bisexual woman. I have had the experience of transitioning in the US medical system as a transgender person over the last 7 years. Additionally, my experience as a nurse working with transgender people has given me a uniquely broad perspective on the LGBTQ+ experience in the US medical system. I can speak to the technicalities of trans medicine and surgeries, and the experience of those seeking them over the last decades.
I now live my life as a queer man, and so also have experience in gay cultures in many parts of this country and Australia. The feeling of being visibly queer is definitely different in different countries and cultures. I love speaking about how being seen as a straight man or woman is different from life as a queer man or woman, as I have been seen variously as all of these throughout my life.
One thing I can tell you for sure after all of these experiences is: male privilege is real.
My other life experiences include 15 years as a server and a bartender, rockclimbing, backpacking, long-distance bicycling, and working as a caregiver and a nurse.
I look forward to hearing about your project, and how I can help.
