A nasty quip

Those people that want me to do Tina don't want to really help me; they want to be seen to be helping me. That's what I honestly believe. That's why they're demanding I do something I'm honestly not comfortable doing. I hated being on-camera for the Dak films. I'm a brilliant writer (arrogant, but yes), I'm a talented musician and I'm a shitty actor. - Don wouldn't have done this. In fact, he formed the Mutton Birds instead of doing this. It's virtue-signalling and pinkwashing. Please let me say no, and respect my choices. - If it was about really helping me and making me feel as if I had a strong, supportive social network, then all those people that stalk my FB feed would reply to my messages, set up real meetings with me and actually be my friend. That's what I said in Season 2, Episode 1 of Weeded Out. Let's do that instead of more pointless bickering about a script that is not yours, followed by you privileged sods belittling me and invalidating my trans identity because I'm too ugly and comfortable with my bulge.

You may want me to dress as a man socially, but the script hinges on a trannie, but you want me to do that as a glam queen with makeup, extensions etc. That's inauthentic, and I'm never going to consent to doing that. Honestly, I will physically attack anyone who attempts to alter my gender expression. I feel entitled to do that after the various instances where I was assaulted by people. - That's why I keep saying no. If I wasn't a queen, then you'd accept that I'm a writer. In fact, when I was closeted, I was highly respected as a composer. I love pointing out the cognitive dissonance that all you dickheads have about me. Treat me as if I'm still the…

I've given you a plan for my year that is really solid. I'm taking a full-time course, I'm doing my AMPP shtick for the pollies, and I'm turning my trauma into a book.


That's a really good plan.

So, let's support me with my plan rather than derailing my plan because other people want to virtue-signal.
