All About Kevin
Home Page
My name is Kevin Laine.  I self-identify as a queer, andro, faggy tranny boi.  I personally do not like labels... but, sometimes it is helpful to "label" yourself.  And I am the only person who knows what labels work best for me.  I also identify as a friend, brother, twin, and son.  My identities encompass who and what I am.

A major part of who I am is my family.  I have a twin sister and two brothers.  Rachael, my sister, is wonderful.  Of course we have our ups and downs... but, she is definitely one of my best friends.  My Mom always tells us about our "secret twin language" when we were growing up.  Rachael and I have the same mind sometimes.  We have conversations without complete sentences and laugh at nothingness together.  I have one older brother, Rich, and one younger brother, Rob.  They both are taller and stronger than I am, and I sometimes wish I was one of them instead of me.  Though, I am happy to have them as my siblings and I hope they will accept me as their brother.  My parents are still together (unlike more than half the population).  They just had their 25th wedding anniversary.  They are finally beginning to accept me as Kevin... though they still say "she" at times.

My queer identity as a transguy is very important to me.  I never want to lose that and to not be an activist and advocate for transgender people.  I plan on being an activist throughout most of my life... even when I pass as male 100% of the time.  I plan to be out to my children and my close friends.  I want to be an educator.  I want to help and listen to all trans people and their SOFFA's.

My fag identity reflects more than my sexual orientation.  Being a "fag" is more than being attracted to guys... it is how I act, feel, and portray myself.  Yes, I can be butch and yes I can be femme sometimes.  That is why I identify more as androgenous.  I know that I have both feminine and masculine characteristics.  I do not believe that my identity as a boy/man means that I cannot be sensitive and emotional.  I do not believe that I have to be butch and macho and "manly" all of the time.  And people definitely notice that I am a fag.

I find it difficult to put a label on my sexual orientation.  Sometimes I like to say that I am pansexual.  Meaning I am attracted to people for people... not their gender.  I have dated bio guys, bio girls, and transguys.  I am attracted to boys, girls, bois, grrls, dykes, fags, queers, gender queers, trannies, and so much more.  I don't like to say I'm bisexual... because than you leave out half of the people I am attracted to.  In my mind... bisexual is not an option because I believe that there are more than 2 genders/sexes.

I graduated from Rhode Island College with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology.  I plan on going back to school to get my Master's of Psychiatric Nursing.

If anyone has any questions about me, please feel free to email me or IM me (TransBoi80 on AIM and Yahoo! Messenger).  I am open to any ideas and/or questions from anyone!
