My name is Cairnarvon. I write code and read books. I'm a feminist, a socialist, and an atheist.

(I'm a cis male; if you feel I shouldn't call myself a feminist in that capacity, feel free to substitute a more useful term.)

I consider myself to be intersectional feminist, and I have called myself a sex-negative feminist in the past not because I oppose the rationalising and destigmatising of sexuality, but because I believe the sex-positive movement too often ends up blithely reinforcing patriarchy.

I mean, on the scale of my congenital defects colour-blindness ranks somewhere below heart disease, narrow Eustachian tubes, and depression, but it does bother me. I don't like being reminded of the shittiness of my sensory input, and my colour-blindness does that on a near-daily basis. Jobwise, I'd probably be doing shitty websites for people for money like everyone else, if not for it.
It's actually Koen Crolla, but you know. Crolla is (almost certainly) an Italian name, but my family has lived in Belgium for more generations than anyone has bothered to keep track. I live in Tienen, and speak Dutch.
I'm a member of sp.a, the Flemish socialist party, but fall to the left of them on many issues. sp.a is, for perfectly understandable if not always legitimate reasons, primarily a centre-left party for the middle class, while my interests tend to lie with more deeply disadvantaged or disenfranchised people and/or more universal matters.
