Look, this is how y'all came off to me: 'oh, poor Amanda! her second puberty sucks because she doesn't know enough about how to be a gurl: let's transform her into another drag queen because we find her style too challenging!!' Where the fuck do you get off? I came out as non-conforming, and I provided ample explanations on Facebook. You were afraid of me because trans people are serial killers ... that's how regressive the thinking from those Wellingtonians was. - You made fun of me for being different. Y'all picked on my accent as 'American', picked on my mood swings as if I was Kanye, told me I was ugly but had potential if I dolled up. and that I was a sick sexual deviant that should've been on the sex offenders register. Small wonder I don't want to join the Greens...
