“Exploring Identity and Gender Using the Scientific Method (and I happen to be a transgender woman)”

About Me

If you're human, you've had an experience similar to mine.

We both had to discover our identity and develop our gender.

Sure, there are people who claim your identity was set at conception. Yes, there are people who say you are the product of society. But the truth is in-between, and that's my job now.

Here's me in a nutshell:

  • Background in molecular biology
  • Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry
  • 25-year career in technology, from engineer to executive management
  • Transitioned gender at 52 years old after a lifetime of pain

Today I am a content creator who talks about the human experience - the biology, the psychology, the philosophy - all the components that make up life on this planet.

How did I come up with an original theory of identity and gender? Simple - the same way I did chemistry research. By observing Nature and committing not to throw any data out - because that's how science is really done.

I'm willing to be the dumb one in class and ask the hard questions. Why do we have identity? Where does gender come from? How is most "science" only misuse of statistics?

Plus? I'm cute as a button and funny as well!

Ya know you'd want to talk to a purple-haired bint, and now's your chance. I'd love to talk to you if you're willing to have an honest conversation with no hate, no discrimination, and no political rhetoric.

Let's set up a 30-minute conversation to talk about an episode. 💜

My work dives deep into the origin and nature of identity, particularly gender, because figuring out who we are is a full-time job, and I’ve made it mine.
