Yes.

Short question, short answer. But if you've been reading for a while, you know that I can't just give a short answer to anything. I think being single is an important thing to talk about, because relationships, while a primary concern of many people in general, are a particular concern to those in the trans community.

At this point in my life, I'm single by choice, and there are a few factors involved. Probably the most influential of those is my tendency to be a loner by nature. As I explain in this post that I wrote for Womanist Musings last year, lonerism is highly misunderstood, because we're often seen as antisocial, maladjusted, or just plain stuck up.
