Let's acknowledge that I've been in several abusive relationships

That's actually true. It's genuinely abusing a trans person to tell me how to express my gender, and those of you who have been doing so for the last several years owe me an explanation and an apology if you want to see me ever again. That's ruined my self-esteem, made me terrified and paranoid, and made me furious with those who cannot accept me as trans. According to the Human Rights Commission, the current laws should protect me from this discrimination, so Wellington artists and rich people who hate that I troll them should stop trolling me with this bs. This is what it felt like to be gay before 1986. I didn't become trans because of the Daktory: no, the Daktory was just a really trans-friendly space and that's why I'm not dealing weed to those who have been punching down at me since 2018 (ie NZSM, ie VUW, ie Red Scare, ie the politicians). 👍 - The weed wasn't why I was angry; it genuinely was the trauma of having parent after parent after parent give me the evil eye and turn their kids away from me. 🏳️‍⚧️ Nothing can heal that, but if you won't listen to me when I say that people do this - and yes, they are in Jville too, but I've gotten over that - then what you're doing is talking over me, minimising my contributions and all that crap that women complain about from domineering guys (or trans men in this example). - Telling me that you want to supervise my coming out story when I've been out since 2019 is beyond insulting. I wrote that script to SHAME the Wellington shits who made me feel inadequate, and their response was to behave like children and demand changes to a script that I felt was exactly right tonally. I swear they wanted to bring libel charges until they discovered that they'd been projecting and that I have a rich, full life that doesn't include them. As a result of this process, I have chosen not to play Tina and I get to make that choice. - I want AMPP to work. I think that our choice-based approach, our progressive tech policies, and my natural theatricality has the makings of a real political party. I'd like to pursue that dream for the next several years. The bigots who have been spying on me aren't welcome to join my party: AMPP is for my real friends and allies. To me, AMPP has it all: it's got street theatre; it's got wacky stunts; it's got political theatre; it's got policy ideas. Plus I get to expound upon real solutions rather than make-believe crap from people who would never actually consider being in a relationship with me, but want to look as if they might so they seem woke and tolerant. Now, I realise that certain people think I'm not stable enough to do that, but I want a fair go to try this: I think that my obsession with politics has largely helped my stability, whereas the negative bs that fucks with my stability is the reason that I'm so obsessed with changing the system. So, does that seem fair?
