If I was a cis white boy, you simply would NOT care about my backstory.
This is why I think it's exploiting trans people for the benefit of cis people to make my Torch Song Trilogy. For me, what really happened was I saw my Big Smoke film and realised I sucked at acting.
I love that script; that's why I'm making it into a novella. 🌿

That's all. Start treating me as if I was Stephen Sondheim, or any cis white man, instead of presuming that I should sing for you because I'm trans, and should be thankful for the opportunity.
That's a bigoted opinion, particularly from people who won't accept me if I wear a skirt or dress in public life... that's what I gather from my salaried peers propped up by state funding. 😡
NOT a drag queen. NOT able to happy if I'm only wearing dresses on-stage. That is NOT an acceptable outcome, and Mark and others will STOP offering me that 'opportunity'.
That's BS. That's crap. That's people who didn't like me insulting them trying to persuade me that they like me.
They don't -- they just think I could draw the gay audience in. FUCK OFF, SQUARES.
Vaffanculo.

I'm more than happy to talk about that tape from Sondheim, but that's a talk show segment. That's all it is. It's interesting, but it's not that important: ultimately, he wasn't involved in shaping my musical or song cycle, and I never heard from him after that first tape. Seriously, if you want my backstory to register with the NZ public, then invite me onto RNZ or The Project or whatever... I'm still pissed that RNZ didn't put me on-air with the Upbeat article about Portrait of a Knight. All of my friends got an on-air interview, but I didn't. I still remember, and it still annoys me. 🌿
