Charlotta Haldén

Den här personen bor i Stockholms län, Östra Mellansverige, och har varit medlem sen 17 juli. Charlotta loggade senast in söndag 5 oktober, från Hässelby Villastad, Stockholms Län, Konungariket Sverige, Europa.

Charlotta presenterar sig själv så här:

Det här är det första forum jag varit med om där man kan ange sitt genus/kön som "person". Det gillar jag skarpt.

Några andra saker jag gillar är katter, rödvin, litteratur, vissångare och trubadurer, nya människor, gamla människor, kloka människor, fantasifulla människor, öppna hjärtan, snabba hjärnor, sällskapsspel, skrivande, T.S. Eliots poesi, starka färger, att aldrig stagnera, att utforska världen och försöka se miraklerna i den, resande, Leonard Cohens röst, min vackra rosa cykel, sexualpolitik, filosofi, rättvisemärkt kaffe, starka kvinnor, långhåriga män (gärna med gitarr), mitt piano, skidåkning, matlagning, chokladglass med kolasås och nötter.

Jag är kvinna rent biologiskt och har ingen önskan att ändra på min kropp sett ur ett könsperspektiv, men jag känner mig väldigt trans och könsöverskridande i både hjärta, sinne och könsuttryck. Jag kallas Charlie. 

This is the first forum ever that I've encountered where you can set your gender as "person". I love this!

Some other things I love are cats, red wine, literature, singer-songwriter music, getting to know new people, playing board games, writing, T.S. Eliot's poetry, bright colours, trying never to stagnate, exploring the world in wonder, travelling, Leonard Cohen's voice, my bicycle, Fair Trade coffee, strong women, long-haired men, skiing, cooking, chocolate ice cream.

I am a bio woman, not looking to change my body gender-wise, but very trans-oriented in mind, heart and soul. I have been active in the Swedish LBGTQ movement (RFSL, bi activism, trans/drag, polyamory, feminism) for a number of years, and I started Sweden's first ever drag king troupe, Lion Kings. Being on stage with the Kings, I have loved exploring my maleness, my femaleness and my humanness. I believe that most people would feel better for doing so, and not restricting themselves to the gender they are supposed to play because of their biology. Since I am also bisexual, I want to transcend the normative roles of couples dancing having to be between a man and a woman.

I am now taking my first baby steps in the tango world, and I am very excited to do so. I have been drawn to tango for quite a while, the temperament, the wonderful music, the drama, the flair, the sense of being acutely here, present, intense, in the moment. Regarding dance, I started ballet dancing when I was about 4, continued til the age of 11, then have had some show dancing and jazz lessons over the years. But now it's been a long time since I did any dancing...

...and it's time. Very much so!

Why do I write in English, you wonder? Well, I'm not only bisexual but also bilingual *lol*. And since this is an international or at least semi international forum, I want as many people as possible to be able to read my presentation. So write to me in English, skriv till mig på svenska, et je peux aussi parler francais y hablar espanol, pero poco.

I am looking forward to getting to know you and tango.

Bailamos!
