I've been happy to clear up the misunderstandings re: my songs, which I think show a healthier mind than people might have assumed from the videos. I probably should have gone to Question Time in another fabulous outfit, but I think by now the Greens are probably used to disappointment, and Gary usually shows up. 👍 -


My take: I have crazy eyes, and that's why people felt it was ok to call me a pervert and a freak.


That's why I'm not doing it. I feel like the town already had their say, and my protest eventually won the day.


Trying to 'tone me down' is making me react like this (the various tantrums this year). That's why I'm playing the trans card: my gender dysphoria is very real. 💜 Gender-affirming = she pronouns, and I'm fine with Mx. on my forms. My passport is the next goal -- yes, in NZ we have an 'x' marker, but it's extra paperwork.
