Heather Kerr

Birth Name: Michael Kerr

Chosen/Legal Name: Heather Kerr

Nickname(s): Blondie, Lense

Eye color: Blue

Age: 20

Skin Tone: Fair, mildly freckled, with orange undertone

Gender: Intersex transgender woman, she/her pronouns, generally doctors do not accept those AMAB with CAH are intersex but she considers herself intersex anyway (though only mildly and doesn't talk over intersex people with more obvious signs of being intersex. She does understand her situation is not the same as others and she has less 'room to talk' so to speak but she's still a huge intersex advocate and lifts intersex voices)

Body type: 5'5, premature growth plate fusion during precocious puberty causing this, flat chest with just developing breast buds. Right on the border of inverted triangle and rectangle body shape. Penis slightly below average size in length and girth. She keeps her face and body shaved/waxed. No tattoos or piercings.

Hair: Waist length in front, with long layers, back length down to her butt. Golden blonde, slightly wavy, side part.

Day to Day Clothing: She likes a lot of denim and khaki, sensitive both to heat and ice so layers easy to put on and take off are essential. Skirts and dresses are for special occasions only, or days where dysphoria is bad and she wants to feel really pretty, no makeup except for the same circumstances.

Scenario clothing: an oversized vintage-style brown leather bomber jacket with a dark brown corduroy contrast collar, ribbed knit cuffs. A small dark rectangular utility patch on the left chest. A crewneck heather gray t-shirt, charcoal gray relaxed-cut jeans, gunmetal rings on her fingers. Black and green sneakers.

Personality: Practical but not particularly conventional, self-sufficient but not emotionally detached, or self-assured. Principled but not automatically patient. She can sometimes decide too quickly that somebody is acting in bad faith. Her instincts may be understandable without being infallible, she rights any wrongs the best she can as soon as she can when made aware of it, to do with that and not. Playful in ways that aren't immediately obvious, private but not necessarily shy. Overreliance on self-sufficiency, with a stubborn streak about her own decisions. Observant and caring, dislikes PDA but is affectionate in other ways around others, a human teddy bear in private. Quietly observant but not a human lie detector, independent in her lifestyle, sentimental in her attachments. Dryly, sometimes a little morbidly funny, without being permanently sarcastic.

Sexual orientation: Monogamy preferring ambiamorous bisexual. If a relationship starts closed it must stay closed or she just sees it as trying to get away with cheating, she'll dump the person immediately. She will not do open relationships, do swinging, anything similar she will either be monogamous or in a polycule where everyone is dating each other. Her parter cannot be seeing more than one person and she not be or vice versa, it feels coercive and or like an excuse to cheat then.

Likes: Jethart Snails, other peppermint and toffee flavored candies, shortbread, fried and deep fried fish, bacon, smoked meats. Board games, games where losing is funny, graphic novels and comic books, true crime, leaving before sunrise to make the trip to classes just to be able to take a scenic route and get pictures on the way, exploring ghost towns and urbex (and taking pictures there), finding scenic routes that are enjoyable even when she doesn't get any particularly good pictures, taking photographs of ordinary places that other people don't consider worth documenting, yoga and jogging, biking, electric scooters and mopeds, motorcycles. Old maps, street directories, historic photographs, and comparing them with present-day locations. Learning about the history of a place before visiting, then comparing the records with what remains. Secondhand shopping and thrifting, quiet companionship and parallel play, writing hand-written letters, old cell phones with sliding keyboards (even better if no touch screens), technology that supplements and aids like it's supposed to instead of doing it all for you or pointlessly complicating things. Records (she wants to get a record player in fact), jazz music, indie music, scots-language music and gaelic music, soft-rock music, puns and media references, psychological and paranormal horror. Etcetera.

Dislikes: texting, having to text or make a phone call when it would be much more efficient to email or use paper mail or go in person, things having an app that don't need it, lgbtqia+pobia and racism in general, the simultaneous intersex exclusion and fetishization that goes on in some queer/trans spaces, perisex people trying to dictate what "actually counts as intersex" when they have no right to even try, transmedicalism, intersex people that cave in to transmedicalism or who are pick-mes to intersexist people especially if they're queer or trans, jokes about the Scots language that hinge on it sounding "funny"/"stupid". Being asked to explain a decision she has already made when she doesn't consider it anybody else's business. People who insist that a hobby must be monetized, productive, or turned into a career to be worthwhile. People who continually complain about a situation but refuse to consider any possible change (obviously understanding some people and some situations have little options if any though). People who make a big show of being independent while expecting everyone around them to manage their responsibilities, people who turn every favor into a debt, people touching her camera or changing its settings without permission, cherries and cherry flavored things, super tough cuts of meat, people who think it's okay to hate or mistreat children just because they're child-free, poly-under-duress/polybombing, etc.

Hard no's in sex: age play/kink, step-incest/incest play/kink, scat, vomit, urine, feet, armpits, breath play, pet play, quickies.

Soft limits in sex: threesomes (only will do it when in a poly relationship or no more than once a month if mono and it can't be anyone they both know or ever will run into again), bondage and impact play, temperature play, risque photos and sex tapes only to be seen by those in the relationship posting/sending them at all is a dealbreaker, exhibitionism and public sex. Safe word is shutter.

Favorite sex acts and positions: doggy style, standing sex, bath/shower sex, lotus position, tantric sex.

Other notes:

Heather speaks Lowlands Scots and Scots English, in public usually defaulting to Scots English but otherwise speaking Scots. Born and raised in the Scottish Lowlands, Glasgow, her parents were very hands-off and neglectful past the toddler stages of her life and she learned to fend for herself. Keep her head down, get good grades, she took care of her little siblings (she was parentified) then leaving right at eighteen. She had precocious puberty, her parents not caring enough to have her taken to a doctor to get puberty blockers so her health suffered a lot, she's playing catch up for that. Being so short, having the acne and other effects of it she did got her bullied quite a bit. She finally beat the everloving hell out of one of her bullies in secondary school, and was sent to juvenile correction for awhile but otherwise kept her head down. Few friends, quality over quantity, most were women which also got her some teasing but after the beating incident people didn't really bully her directly anymore just behind her back and online. She's not a violent person, at all, she just finally snapped especially since no one was listening to her when she attempted to report the bullying. She's not had any sort of episode similar since.

She still lives in Glasgow, is attending Glasgow Caledonian University studying physiotherapy while also having a hobby to herself of photography. She has her own dark room in her townhouse, in fact. She has nothing to do with anyone in her family, even her siblings since they were taking after their parents too much already. And she deserves to have a life, she keeps an avenue of contact open for them for the future, but doesn't initiate contact or keep it at the moment. She shares the townhouse with her best friend.

Her best friend since primary school is non-partnering aroace (a 22 year old perisex cis woman named Abigail who works in her family's candy business - they also are from the Scottish Lowlands so often blend traditional sweets with more modern mainstream ones while also still continuing traditional ones in of themselves alone), with bigoted family trying to hold inheritance of the family business over her head to make her get married and give "legitimate grandchildren" on their time rather than hers. Her wish to not be in a relationship and have children via IVF she knew would be completely unacceptable to them. And so Heather married her, continuing to live together as best friends while letting the family believe they were a happy couple. Their marriage is a marriage for show and convenience, no feelings involved. Heather is closeted to them, her in-laws think she's a gnc cis man (which they begrudgingly tolerate). Abigail and Heather would end up doing IVF, too, prior to Heather starting HRT and Abigail is currently two months pregnant. Heather plans to be an involved mother even though they're not together, they'll be raising the baby as friends, so whoever she is with will have to be okay with the set up of her and her friend having a child together while having no feelings for each other beyond platonic and familial. They plan to have the marriage annulled using an available legal ground secretly if/when Heather finds someone, so outwardly to her family it looks like they're still together (though they never were), or if they aren't sneaky enough Heather genuinely does not care if she's thought to be a cheater because she doesn't like Abigail's family anyway and it'll protect her from being disinherited. Win-win. She's okay with just having the one child, or having more with a future partner if they want more children, so long as it's not clear they aren't pulling a "well I want my own real kids" and treat/intend to treat the baby differently than the other ones. Any attempt to make her be a less involved mother with Abigail's child or alienate them, in general whether she has more children with her new partner or not, is a deal breaker.

Self discovery timeline: cishet boy who has felt a bit 'wrong' since the start but had no words for it --> unlabeled, gender and sexuality-wise --> gender apathetic, bisexual --> bisexual trans woman --> mildly gender apathetic, gnc bisexual trans woman

Heather uses estrogen gel twice daily, DIY as she makes it herself, and takes spironolactone that is prescribed both for HRT and to help medically with 11β-hydroxylase deficiency CAH (also taking Prednisone for this). She's still pretty early in her transition, plus her intersex variation will make it harder to get the full effects of HRT. She has an iPhone SE for things she can't avoid having an app for but otherwise doesn't use it, her main phone is an android powered BlackBerry Priv she hardly if ever uses the touch screen of. When it dies, she's getting a disposable flip phone.
