Tobi Hill-Meyer is just about your average multiracial, pansexual, transracially inseminated queerspawn, genderqueer, transdyke, colonized mestiza, pornographer, activist, writer.

Having first gotten involved in politics at the age of 9 defending her parents' right to be her parents (Oregon's Measure 9 [the first one]), she never stopped contemplating the role of sexuality and gender in social politics.

Ze spent her teenage years creating her own model for understanding attraction and gender and working on a pro-con chart about whether or not to transition, as well as getting involved in the youth rights movement.

After ze spent several years exclusively genderqueer identified, she transitioned to her current gender identity and began applying hir feminist background and women studies degree through her trans woman's lens. Ze then began unlearning her internalized transmisogyny and illuminating the ways in which the impact of misogyny on trans women has been left invisible to, and sometimes even perpetrated by, cisgender (non-trans) feminists.

She also engages in queer family work as a board member of COLAGE, a national movement of children, youth, and adults with one or more lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and/or queer parents. And while writing a zine series of erotic fiction available at Handbasket Productions, ze still finds time to do the grunt work of phone banks, canvassing, and lobby visits that keeps the political branch of the LGBTQ movement, well, moving.
