I don't want a redemption arc

I don't think I was wrong to slag people offf, and I feel like it was other people who chose to hate on me rather than supporting me. Again: if you misgender me or attempt to change my clothing choices/hair, that's a surefire way to cause me to ignore you. I feel confident that this tactic is working and that people are coming around to the unconditional tolerance that I'm demanding. I was always trans, and I prefer being out as a she than as a he. 🏳️‍⚧️ - I'm not doing the Tina scripts; nothing can persuade me, and I've sought advice regarding translating those to prose. I'm not as confident in prose as I am with nonfiction or screenwriting, so I asked a friend who is a real writer/poet. That's my vision of summer: writing my novella. 📙👋

No, you can't keep saying that I have to make Weeded Out. I intend to seek an injunction to shut you up. That's what will be going down in April and May. Or y'all could just give up today and save me

Fairness is a core New Zealand value: that's why my criticisms of large arts bodies have resonated with the bulk of the chattering classes. Obviously those involved with those large arts groups aren't happy, but they can use their salaries and their houses and the same illegal drugs that I use to get over that. 🤣 I'm very aware that Chloe is the Green spokesperson for these issues, and that she probably took my side over all these people that are unable to let me be me, and basically think I'm not trans. That's their fault for not meeting me. Stop telling me to think like Tina: I'd rather be Amanda and be rude, thank you very much. 👋
