I'm Dylan Edward Cougill, also known as Pickle, the Self-love Cow, Bean, and Ed. I use it/thing pronouns, and I'm an aromantic, pansexual, trans man. 
I have spent the years since 2016 researching queerness. Early 2018 I came out as bisexual and agender, and December 14th 2018 I came out as a man. How I got to aromantic and pansexual is a long story, but shaped me to who I am today.
But outside of my queerness, I'm a autistic writer and artist! And I have a passion for educating on queerness and making my activism accessible to all viewers. Which is why you can find manuscripts of my videos and the edited script as articles on this site.
As an individual I want to be understood. To make sure everyone, no matter our differences, feels understood and accepted as who they are! As long as you're not hurting anyone nonconsensually, and you want to learn, you're welcome here.
I have a philosophy: You must accept someone before you can truly understand them. That we are not our hate and fear, we are truly ourselves when we accept each other.
“Love Is Love” shouldn't have a “but” or “unless”. You can't change anyone's Minds by policing who can be themselves, so why be queer police?
I don't know about you but I think, with queer history in mind, we shouldn't be trying to emulate the men in blue… just a thought.
