what do you do?: Um, currently funemployed but I've been working in tech for a bit on the peopleops side of things
how do you identify?: "femme" is more important to me than "woman", so, that, and on a personal level I don't think gender is real (again, I mean how it applies to me, gender is obviously "real") so when I identify as cis it's more because "woman" is a social role I've existed with/am a part of -- sexuality is just... tl;dr very queer.

zodiak?: Aries
do you think zodiak signs mean anything?: Not really but if you’re into it, that’s cool.
