Tobi is a young writer and trans activist. She enjoys writing hot stories that incorporate important social issues and are emotionally evocative. While each story represents a life of it's own, Tobi's writing is an expression of hir activism and desire to change the world. She started writing to fill the utter void of diverse trans characters in media as well as to offer an alternative to the overwhelmingly exploitative and exotic ways that trans women's sexuality are often portrayed.

She's been on the boards of many LGBTQ organizations, and currently serves as the chair of the board COLAGE. Ze does a variety of workshops and occasionally performs as a drag king, does personal theater, and other performance art.

When not directly involved in activism, she tries to find time to cook dinner for her partners, but more often she's writing with one of her several cats sitting on her lap (and occasionally standing on the keyboard).
