Creator of The Transmasc Library
Much to the despair of my enemies, I am still alive.
Personal Life
I'm attending my local community college as a film major with an emphasis in screenwriting (Not to brag, but we have a damn good film program here).
I'm also an indie (book) writer operating under the penname A.R. Stein. My current project is Heroes of The Pirate's Hook, my first book in The Grim Angels Series.
When I'm not updating the archive or writing, I can be found meowing at my cats, reading, watching video essays, napping, yapping my ass off on Tumblr, doing random sidequests, making popcorn, and being homoerotic with my friends.
Creating the Archive
On May 30th, 2025, a post about James Barry appeared on my Tumblr feed. More specifically, the post lamented about how people like James Barry could wear a giant neon sign saying "I am a man" and faux-feminists would still turn around and insist that they were actually women in disguise.
I left a comment where I offhandedly suggested that I could hypothetically do an archive of transmascs in history, and immediately people replied to it encouraging me and requesting that I tag them if I ever made the archive. As soon as I was able to reach my laptop, I opened my neocities account and wiped away the remnants of a dead website concept. Just like that, The Transmasc Library was born.
