I can't be with you if you want me to be a man

That's how blunt I am. I'm not even pretending to be a man. It's just not happening. Nothing can persuade me. I'm not playing Tim, so therefore I'm not making the series. I'm honestly sickened that people tried to convert me back to being a man. I think that is seriously unacceptable, but I'm not that surprised: my father's side of the family is rather conservative, and so are many of my musician acquaintances. To them, that seemed reasonable. To me, that seemed like torture, literally being told every day not to be myself; that's how it felt. Amanda may be androgynous, but she prefers she pronouns, and I hate wearing pants. The feeling of a skirt in the breeze is awesome, and I pity all the cis men who have no idea how that feels.

No, I'm serious, stalkers. I'm not living a male life, and that's final. You can't be my friend if you can't accept who I really am. And that's simply my answer to any and all queries. I've got gender dysphoria, I identify as trans, and it's honestly your job to respect my way of living. Stop wishing I'd sing more like a bloke, and never bring it up again. I'm not your ace in the hole, Cass. I will NOT sing with you. I'm moving because of how angry I am at you and all the other people who spy. That's my way of resolving that loop - I'm moving away from you all, and all the bad memories that haunt me. That's…
