there is something so gender affirming about writing about yourself in a professional sense and feeling comfortable about switching pronouns throughout the entire blurb
#for those that don't know#i go by she/they#and i actively use both#i like to say that professionally i am a woman and personally i'm just a taylor#because in a professional sense my gender does matter#it's important that i am a metis woman and a female museum professional and a she who went to art school#those things matter#because being assigned female at birth wholly affects how i act how i got there and how i'm perceived#but that doesn't feel like /me/#my entire exploration of gender is weird and because i'm a femme presenting afab she/they#i don't really talk about it much#a lot of my identity is hidden and I appear like a cisgender able bodied straight white lady#so it feels like another space i don't really belong#even though i have a chronic illness and am bisexual and metis (indigenous) and probably considered either nonbinary or genderfluid#because i know the way i appear gives me privilege and i don't want to insert myself#when my existence can cause harm in those spaces#well that was a rant in the tags i didn't expect to go on but here we are i guess lol#ANYWAYS i'm building a website and i use both she and they in my about section and it feels really nice so why does it need a label!!!#taylor's tirades#about me
