I'm a gay Jewish autistic, mentally ill, polyamorous, and nonbinary trans man. These things about me reflect my view of the world and life experiences. I have leftist politics and have been outspoken at many protests, such as Occupy Wall Street when I was younger, and NYC Youth for Trans Rights marches more recently, and I've also made political cartoons about many important causes I believe in such as trans rights, mad pride, women's rights, gay pride, neurodiversity pride, BLM, Free Palestine, workers rights/union strikes, and more.
