Mx Dizzy
They/them
<p>EmDizzy, also known as Mx Dizzy (they/them) has been sharing their growing knowledge and experience with the world since August 2021 as a founder, producer, and host of The Kinky Tavern Podcast. Mx Dizzy is a gender nonconforming, femme-presenting, pansexual, relationship-anarchist and demisexual Princexx. Their journey in the kink realm began in 2015, initially exploring as a submissive and pain-slut. Over time, they have delved into various roles and positions, ultimately finding their truest self in the role of Princexx, which in their case, they define as “a Dominant little who gets what they want.” Em has gained personal experience navigating the “community” as a neurodivergent human managing several chronic illnesses and mental health conditions. Mx Dizzy’s passion for leather, BDSM, kink, sexuality, and accessibility knows no bounds. Their overarching objective within the “community” is to promote education, normalization, and the creation of a safe and inclusive space for all individuals. Their dedication to these principles is evident in their efforts to support and uplift the community as a whole.</p> <p>https://linktr.ee/thekinkytavern</p>
