stuff about me

mandatory gender stuff

i was born in italy, assingned male at birth therefore for a long time (~25 years) i believed gender as a concept to be limited to biology (like chromosomes and stuff). got very disappointed when i saw how much of a social role it played (… and still plays) in almost all human societies around the world

i am still officially a man (e.g. on all my documents), also by genotype (my chromosomes are XY*) and by phenotype (i didn’t experience lack of testosterone as far as i can tell), plus i luckely do not suffer from gender dysphoria, and i could easily identify as a male person if only we lived in a society capable of not making all kids of assumptions based on gender identity

*doubt we’ll find a way to change that

tldr: i identify as an agender person (e/ir)

greatest luck so far

being able to:

  • see outside the italian cultural bubble
  • somehow manage to expatriate to sweden with the love of my life, Arianna, who is my one and only sambo1 (but not my only partner)

my studies

past-to-current

i’ve always loved chemistry and biology since i was a child, therfore i:

  1. studied computer science
  2. managed to arrange an Erasmus+ exchange in Sweden, during the last semester of my italian bachelor
  3. wrote my bachelor thesis about private blockchains and token-based access control systems2
  4. hated what i saw in both the research, and the real, world
  5. got stuck on a high performance computing master programme for a while (in sweden)
  6. accepted my nature as a logician (finally)
  7. switched master back to just computer science
  8. took one year off, beacause i needed to take a break, after twenty years of studying nonstop

coming next

  1. going back to school (september 2022)
