Nasty rumours that ruined my life

1. The notion that I wasn't as good at music while dressed as a woman, because that was only a fetish and not a stable identity. At least 40 years out of date...
   

2. That I wasn't capable of orchestrating my musicals or writing sheet music, particularly when dressed as a woman.

   
   

3. That I was sexually attracted to Sondheim. Definitely not true. They didn't know that he was one of my mentors.
   

4. That I intentionally flashed people in Central Wellington.
   

5. That I was sexually attracted to children. The haters couldn't prove that. Never slept with or touched any child inappropriately. They were stereotyping me for being femme. That shit cost me music teaching gigs.
   

6. That I was into sissy porn and diaper porn, hence not trans. Wrong! Lots of trannies create and enjoy TG porn. Not a diaper fetishist. That's a straight-up lie from James and Cassandra.
   

7. That I'm a racist or other strawman bigot because I'm a harsh critic. Look at my movies: one of the things that surprises people is my sharp critiques of race relations and diversity. Chardonnay Socialists etc. I'm entitled to my opinion as a music or film critic, or as a Parliament critic. You all need to harden up a bit. Sondheim wasn't the nicest man.
   

8. That I had to do Weeded Out as a form of diversion. The cops are furious about this particular allegation. It's not just illegal, but it cheapens the entire criminal justice system if people are able to claim that someone has been convicted without any facts. When the harassment stepped up a notch, I was working for RNZ. There's no work release programme for RNZ; I have a clean record. Not a clean slate, but a totally unblemished criminal record.
   

9. That I had co-written or developed work with people that were afraid to meet me. Not just Weeded Out, but every script that I've written. They've offered their two cents illegally, sans contract. As I say, that's what they use remote access for. Dave Armstrong's met me. Paul McCartney too.
   

10. That I was going to be forced into a hormone transition + surgery as a result of all these nasty rumours that my enemies were spreading. That negates my bodily autonomy. That's a really serious charge, as they were doing so for financial gain. One of the reasons that I couldn't tolerate their 'deal' was that they were explicitly positioning Weeded Out as a fundraiser to pay for a vaginoplasty/FFS etc.. That's part of my conversion therapy case, which implicates Red Scare and VUW, plus all the usual suspects.

    Given these things, my boycott seems stable, sane and rational, right? I stopped going to gigs because they harassed me and lied about me. They wanted me gone until I was straight again or fully transitioned, but it backfired when I turned it into a protest. The only way it ends is if these rumours die and the people that spread them are forced to eat their words.
