Bambi-Sexuality
On May 2, 2021, after the creation of the bambi lesbian page, multiple bambi-sexuality-related pages emerged, including bambi gay, bambi fluid, bambi non-human, and multi bambi. Ulysses updated the history and references sections of every page as they emerged.

Womasexual/Femmesexual Controversy
On May 6, 2021, Ulysses and Chaoticcylinder, the creator of the LGBTA Wiki, entered into a dispute over the relationship between and potential merge of the terms womasexual and femmesexual that turned into edit warring on those pages as well as on the mascusexual page. This dispute resulted in the removal of any mention of "womasexual" or "womansexual" and its flags from the femmesexual page and a compromised version of the mascusexual page.

Flags and Terms Created
Ulysses created the imagigender flag on May 3, 2021, created an alternate numbergender flag on May 16, 2021, and created an alternate arithmogender flag on May 17, 2021.

He coined the term kayfabic and created a flag for it on May 4, 2021.

Posts
Ulysses has created blog posts on the wiki on queer and trans history, from his personal history to reading lists and research tips. His posts are always long-form essays, at least 1000 words each. He responds to posts infrequently, usually making comments around wiki maintenance.

"Dude's Guide to Research"
On May 5, 2021, Ulysses made a post to his blog space on the LGBTA Wiki entitled "Dude's Guide to Research." Over 3,000 words long and 21,000 bytes, the post covers how to do effective research with the wiki and outside of it as well as how to format references effectively.

The post influenced the style and structure of subsequent how-to posts made by other users, such as “Reign’s Coining Guide” by Reign of the breadsticcs.

Personal Life
On his Tumblr blog, Ulysses has disclosed that he is a gay, non-cis man who prefers no labels except Bear. He has identified as a Bear even before starting HRT due in part to his unspecified hyperandrogenism. He has also shared that he was born in 1998, lives in Minnesota, and is married.

In an LGBTA Wiki blog post, Ulysses shared that he originally came out as bisexual in 2005 and trans in 2010 and identified as femmesexual before June 2016.
