Linda (she/her)

"Linda" is newly my name. I've been "Naga" or "Pat" before (leaving this here for now for ease of continuity, and neither of them is exactly male-coded). I'm a disabled (severe #MECFS), #ActuallyAutistic, queer, white, #TransWoman in my 50s, living in North Carolina in the US. Queer, in my case -> Something not readily defined or labeled, as opposed to Queer -> fuck you. Having spent most of my life looking to the world like a cis-het man, I don't feel I readily own that. Phase 1 of my #GenderQuest is complete. I am a woman, contrary to what I believed for 56 years and change. My sexual orientation is "kinky." I'm gray-ace: I'm sexually pulled toward the person tying me up, largely regardless of gender or anatomy. Outside of kink, I don't really have a sexual orientation at all. My aesthetic appreciations are broad, tilted toward femme people, but not exclusively, and aren't particularly linked to my sexuality. I'm the owned and collared pet dragon of my wife, Jalan.(genderfluid, she/her). Dragonlet is our (at this writing) nine-year-old nonbinary child (he/they). I also have a son in his early 30s from a previous marriage. Jalan and I are polyamorous. Jalan has a lover, but I don't have energy for another relationship right now.

She has a fair complexion and shoulder-length, wavy auburn hair, and is wearing garnet and black: garnet earrings and lip stain; black choker, tank-style undergarment, gloves, and sheer blouse; a garnet knee-length skirt fitted over her hips; and a wide silver cuff bracelet on one wrist.
