internalised transphobia

One of the suckiest things is watching these videos since I grew the beard and seeing precisely why all those people were shielding their kids from me. When I'm clean-shaven, people are more respectful. It's the same both ways now, but that's because I'm well-known, and I remember those awful things with much more clarity when I'm scratching my itchy beard. - I kinda like being a soloist as a trannie. My Mum liked to say that my brother Jeremy was too selfish to be great at team sports. It's really lonely; despite my jokes, I'm actually quite pumped to see the gender fluidity on the streets of Wellington. -


Growing the beard out fully takes about 3-4 weeks. It's the same old story, though; whenever I do it, all that pressure to be a man starts up.
