me. I'm Evan, kyril here and on Daily Kos. I'm a 27-year-old Canadian recent veteran of the U.S. Navy, where I worked as an aircraft mechanic for five years fixing structures and hydraulics first on F/A-18 Horrnets and later on EA-6B Prowlers. I'm an undergraduate student in geophysics at the University of Washington. I'm an avid science fiction reader and a particular fan of Robert Heinlein and Isaac Asimov; I write social science fiction myself, but don't yet have anything nearly ready for publication. I'm an online PC gamer. I'm also trans and gay.I haven't done half as many interesting things as many of the people here. I only recently came out (coming out story is here) and am still in the process of transitioning. Most of my activism is online; most of the stuff I've done with my life in meatspace isn't overtly political. I've been a volunteer firefighter, an aircraft mechanic, an exotic dancer, a math and reading tutor, and several times a student. My career goals aren't overtly political either - I'm studying geophysics with the intent to do research on paleoclimate. But my life, being trans, is necessarily political. And that's why I'm here being opinionated.
