They grew up in Rome, Italy, and started going by the name "Alex" at the age of 14, inspired by the [[gender nonconforming]] character in ''Flashdance''. In their twenties, while living in England, they were briefly married to an abusive husband, then divorced him and came out as [[bisexual]], later coming out as a [[dyke]] for a brief period, before returning to identifying as bisexual. In their late twenties, upon attending a BiCon for the first time, they met a broad range of [[trans]], [[gender nonconforming]], and [[genderfluid]] people. By their early thirties, Alex was out to a few people as [[genderqueer]] and [[genderfluid]]. Alex obtained their Ph.D. in 1999, and moved to the United States in 2008, where they became very involved with the trans community.<ref name="DTA" /> | |||
