My name is Steven Arness, in this website I hope to convey my experiences of being a white heterosexual (cisgender) male in a society that shuns me for not being stereotypical.

My other website, The Fifth Edge, covers more of my experiences as a figure skater, and while I do discuss many of my experiences there, a lot, if not all, of it will also be duplicated here as well as my non-skating related experiences.

I also hope for others to use this space to share their experiences and for those that have questions to either find an answer, or ask their question, and get a proper answer.
