If you're here on my website you probably already know who I am, but in case you don't: hi, my name is Ally Kotetsu! I'm a radical queer activist based in Seattle, WA. You may know who I am, but you don't know my story. Let's fix that.
I am a lot of things. I am queer, for one. I am bisexual, attracted mostly to feminine beings, and I'm a nonbinary woman. I am a non preferential, non-exclusive Minor Attracted Person, attracted mostly to people around the upper teens range. I am radically polyamorous. I am transrace Japanese. I am a permateen (transage 16). I am into activism regarding these fields (and the realm of radical queerness in general). I also have several kinks and am very sex positive/neutral.
I believe in spirituality, but am an atheist. We may have souls, but we were not given them by a god, I do not think (though one can never know for sure). I believe in a form of reincarnation. I have vague beliefs in magick related fields, and I have a hyperfixation in astral projection and similar practices.
I like to think of myself primarily as a content creator. I livestream every week, post to a blog, write literature, post videos, and write music.
Music is my main artistic interest. I run my solo musical project, Next Point From Nothing. I have been writing songs since I was in middle school, I play the clarinet, the guitar, and the keyboard. I mostly write stuff in the electronic / alternative / hip-hop genres, but I also delve into other genres I enjoy. I like pop punk, nü-metal, real metal, post hardcore, punk, rap, rock, pop, city pop, future funk, soundtracks, experimental, pop rock, electronic rock, funk rock, electropunk, grunge—to name a few. My all-time favorite artists are Twenty One Pilots, Linkin Park, and Eminem.
I am also deeply into programming. I am proficient with the languages Rust, C/C++, and Java. I also mess with HTML/CSS/JS from time to time. I use this knowledge to mess around with games and write website software, but I haven't really finished anything.
I love gaming, less so video games and more gaming in general. I have a soft spot for tabletop gaming, especially card games and roleplaying games. My favorite card game is Munchkin and my favorite TTRPG is Call of Cthulhu. My favorite video games are The Hundred Line -Last Defense Academy- and Pokémon.
Aside from all of the above, I like education. Teaching is a joy to me (especially teaching youth). I also like arts and crafts, and I sew, make kandi bracelets, and make buttons on occasion. I wish I was good at drawing.
I officially delved into radqueer spaces when I was 18 or so, but I first learned about radqueer concepts before that. Around starting puberty I started to gain interest in sexuality, which is when I learned about queer matters such as gender and gender-based attractions. I realized I was bisexual and for a while I thought I was a femboy, but eventually I learned about transgender people, and after some self reflection I settled on being a girl. Though it's not quite that simple, as my gender isn't 100% female.
Around the same time I started questioning my race identity and age attractions. For years I would look at that side of myself with curiosity, but also denial. Eventually, around when I was an adult, I realized that this part of myself wasn't going away, so I decided to learn more about it. That's when I found the transrace and MAP communities.
Before that I had learned about therianthropy and otherkinity, as well as zoophilia, and shortly after I learned about transage and other transids. At first I thought being queer was simple, but now I knew that there was much more to it than that. I wasn't some freak, there were others like me out there, and others that weren't like me but were queer. And no matter what people said, I could look to myself and know the things they said were lies.
After being in the community for a bit, I got doxxed. It changed my life completely. These days I look back on those times and think of the good it brought, but there was a lot of bad too. And I made the decision there that I would help this community so no one else had to go through what I did. I knew it wouldn't be easy, and that there was a long road ahead of me, but I've always had desire to lead others, and finally it had seemed like I found who I was supposed to lead.
Fast forward some years. I'm still the same Ally Kotetsu. I lead activist projects, exist publicly as a radqueer, and I create content. This is who I am, and it's who I was meant to be. I am proud to be radqueer, and proud to be a part of this community.
