Gotta break the flow here. You lot primed me to watch this.


That doesn't count as a genuine 'picking the right movie for the right time' as a result. ✌️ _


And nah, it hasn't changed my mind.


I'm not gonna stop. I'm making it plain that my kink won't evaporate. It doesn't work like that.


My trans identity isn't a kink. I happen to have a kink. The two are separate.


-


So nah, now I'm not going to finish the movie.


Nah. I'm done. I don't want to watch the part where Burt Lancaster shows up and saves the day.


-


You haven't made me want anything. I'm as fucked-up as I was 3 years ago. I haven't changed that much.


I hate feeling manipulated emotionally. That's why I tend to be picky.


I'm resolute about what I want from my life, and it isn't to be in a band. I'm not keen for that.


I don't want to travel. I don't want to be internationally famous: I'm fine with where I am.


And as I said earlier, people are going to have to meet me where I am with my recovery. And they may have to accept that I can refuse help.


It's a totally valid thing to do, to refuse help. I take my bipolar meds, and I take my other medications lol


-


I bet the rumour mill is full of gossip about me, so I feel like gossiping back.


Lucinda wouldn't take a call from me after midnight. We're close, but she lives at home with her parents.


-


I'm not plain. But I don't diddle kids. That's the key part - I don't actually touch anyone inappropriately.


And as for me, I'm the one who ended up groped and all that for wearing the clothes. 👍


And I genuinely do not desire children sexually. I simply don't - if I got hard, it was to do with me and enjoying being out.


Which yeah, for the first year or so was thrilling because I felt free.


I wouldn't do anything without consent when it comes to touch. I wish people were that considerate when it came to my journey. ⚧️🍃

My favourite 'right movie for the right time' was Utamaro and his Five Women, which I saw for the first time during 2021. My favourites tend to be new movies, though a great rewatch is fun too.
