Let's cover off the key points

Ok, so why is it that I'm resolutely refusing to do what everyone wants and putting on a show that's entertaining for cis people, but wouldn't help the trans cause? To the rich people: No, it wouldn't help. I think that any of the trans activists can see that it wouldn't: working at RNZ or somewhere else as a journo would be far more useful, particularly if they gave me a remit to cover LGBT issues. Why do I think the trans community has my back? I mentioned that I wanted some more business lady clothes for Question Time, and that's exactly what I found at Aunty Dana's. 🏳️‍⚧️👍👍 - So, here's the key points for my arsehole 'friends' that think I should give in to their incessant and really annoying demands: 1. VUW doesn't own my script. They literally thought that I'd just come waltzing back in as a guy, and pretend like I never wanted to be trans. I have been crossdressing since I was 11, and I'm legally entitled to do so.

I'm not interested in producing a script that might net them billions for free. That's a totally fair, legitimate thing for a writer who is nearly 30 to say. I wasn't a total dick: I was willing to sell them the script. That's still a legitimate offer that VUW, Red Scare and any other shits that want to do something for trannies, despite lacking my courage to attend Question Time in a dress, could do.

2. I gave up on pro guitar years ago. I was never that passionate about that to start with, and that always annoyed Jane. Yes, I'm amazingly talented and I've done things that beggar belief in terms of my raw speed as a fingerpicker, but I got those ideas from Baden Powell and Tony Rice and all that non-classical fingerstyle music that I'm into. I wrote a great concerto, but students are afraid to have lessons with a trannie. That's society's fault, not mine, and that's something that is on society to fix.

I wish I could be compensated financially for all the horrible things that have happened to me since I was trans, but forcing me to retrace my steps would retraumatise me. 3. I dislike stage musicals. Plus I'm beyond angry at NZ Opera regarding Voices of Aotearoa and Unruly Tourists and how they handled all that -- brownwashing par excellence. Don't blame me if something that Barbie sang for free was better received than a $9 million musical. If people performed These Words, I'd apportion royalties for Barbara and Lauren.

I take care of the people who I trust; make me trust you by meeting me socially rather than attempting to meet me professionally.

That cost Wellington my trust, and that inspired me to become more bold and more attacking with my tapes. That's all. Wellington needs to make it right with me by getting the little things right. Let me see that people are willing to socialise with me, rather than paying people to be around me while making a film. That's lonely, that's depressing, and that's simply why I have chosen to do other things, like the Māori course and like my documentaries. - Now, as for criminal liability: Nobody has pressed charges; even Chloe hasn't, and I feel bad about irritating her. I'm not under a compulsory treatment order, and I have the right to refuse treatment.

That's in the Bill of Rights. - So, how about all my enemies, friends and stalkers take heed of this message and my own desires for my life? If I had my druthers, I'd be planning my Pacific Islands trip. I'm not making my biography script, and NOTHING can change my mind. Not money, not prestige, not meeting famous people -- I decided the 2030 musical was my thing and that's the script that I'm going to the National Library and researching. I don't want to do Tina and I have no faith or trust in ANYONE that wants that. That's exploiting me, and that's not fair. This is why I've cried bloody murder about my IP.

Any writer would do the same, so don't single me out. That's part of our craft, as those prolonged WGA strikes demonstrated this year. - RNZ hasn't replied about that Lifestyle and Entertainment Journalist job, so it's entirely possible that I might get to come back and be Amanda unconditionally. That's why I love the journos: that's my tribe. They hired me as trans, while my musician 'friends' keep debating whether they'll forgive me (so long as I pretend to be a bloke)😡 Newsflash: I stopped caring, and next time someone says something that's openly discriminatory about my gender expression, I'm taking them to court.👍
