Real thought

re-reading Your Fair Face, I thought it was a much stronger script than Weeded Out. But he's cis and not trolling politicians, and his production fell apart after a documentary that he made while in pre-production. I think it's incredibly stupid to say that I 'must' do Just Like Yesterday because I'm trans and that's in with the hipster crowd. If you dislike my draft, then write your own script based on your own characters. -

That's the tokenism, and that is a HUGE part of why I said no. My politics weren't going to survive that process intact, and neither were the folk songs that I wanted to use. People saw me as a way of painting their own canvas, but sadly that's not actually being fair to me and the struggles that I've had. Treat me as if I'm still cis and male - just as a thought experiment - and then see whether that fervour for my script is based on being sexually attracted to trans people or not. Liking my ads is fine, but I was expecting emails and lunch meetings, instead of threats made by overzealous pricks who haven't pressed charges because they think I'll say yes if they continue to threaten me. I refuse, and be realistic that I have dozens of other good ideas for shorts and features.

I'm not saying don't hire me; I'm just saying respect my IP and respect that I wrote it while all you were silently judging me. If you're still silently judging me, then my script failed to have the impact, while my little cartoons are doing quite well. The Wellington arts community should either apologise for calling me a pervert or find themselves another icon.
