Am I a threat?

Based on what?? Walking around and singing? Attending Question Time and writing reviews? Getting angry and fired up on my tape recorder? I haven't attempted to contact Chloe for a long time, and that was mostly because that was an unmitigated disaster. Probably wasn't such a good idea, but I'm only apologising for the FB messages, which were very desperate and probably a sign that I wasn't coping all that well in late-2023. I think that the emails were slightly flirty, but mostly business. Ultimately, they ensured that Chloe and her team were aware of my project, and that was the goal. The Wellington Council just ignores my fucking emails. I'm hardly their favourite person, given that I stand for disruptive protests. Have I ever attempted to attack a politician? Have I ever attempted to attack some random on the street? If I wasn't a man in a dress, I think that people wouldn't be so quick to judge. I mean, to be fair, I wasn't subjected to all the horrific things that people apparently said regarding my pink dress and the 2020 Election, though obviously I still face the occasional slur or whatever in 2024.
