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.
