Snark

I doubt that Glenn Gould had the Canadian government telling him to do gigs. It's not like I'm the first person in history to be amazingly good and not take it pro. As he famously said, virtuoso performing is a gladiatorial sport. That's the bullshit that's made Pan's Preludes gather dust, while my MIDI demos conquered the world. If you consider my studies in light of the recent discovery of royal connections, I'd say that it's essentially the level required to eventually speak/chant on the paepae. Or the level to demonstrate my songs for non-operatic singers in rehearsals. If the price of doing The Perfumed Garden is being in a story, I will refuse. - No further studies at any university. I must be paid for creative work that institutions, particularly VUW or NZ Opera, wish to use to shore up their woke credentials. VUW can accept failure, tolerate dissent and ACCEPT my independence.

They are liable for refusing to accept my decision not to study further. This is attested in the dossier. Legal action will result, and compensation will be provided for ignoring my letters from 2024, not to mention breaching my privacy. I don't know about you, but I'm pretty sure my contract with the university ended in 2015, when I took my final course. They are not the legal owners of my IP, they must cease, and Michelle Cameron doesn't get to direct or DP a film of mine until they do. I have refused the Lilburn residence every year since 2021. I will always refuse. No reason will be given, as is my legal right. VUW must desist, Francesca and Dave. Any other path is expensive for them. Freedom of association = I'm able to say no, and to have a reasonable expectation that I won't be punished for saying no. - Barbara and Hannah will not persuade me. Don't try. Never mention it and accept the sheet music as music. I'm not getting fitted for clothes and I'm not considering changing my style. Tina dies, Amanda dresses as herself at any potential jobs, or it's going to end up as a political thing that paints certain media companies in a negative light on the news. - My physical presence is the one thing you can't buy, as that is optics, not substance. RNZ accepts that. NZ Opera will have to as well. You must put the show on as you would for a composer that isn't a gifted singer. Otherwise, I'm not being treated equally to Salina Fisher or Luke Di Somma. Or, to use a more apt comparison, Tom McLeod. He can sing super-well, yet he's given full casts and respected for his orchestration skills. This is about transphobia, as that is why I ultimately wasn't chosen for Voices of Aotearoa. Tim Finn doesn't have a post-graduate music degree from the 21st century. I do. Though I didn't go to the US, I know as much as Berklee or NYU grads. Gareth, who is no slouch as a singer, is given full casts and Lilith isn't forced onstage.

Why? Because he puts the compositions under a male name, and is hence treated as cis and fabulously talented. My photo wasn't pretty enough for their marketing campaign. That's the truth. - No live gigs until Tory says sorry and means it. If it was the activist rather than the mayor that was diagnosed with autism, everyone would have made a point about how obtuse autistic people can be. Then they would have coerced an apology. Am I supposed to accept that Tory told me to detransition publicly?

Am I supposed to accept that she defamed me publicly?

Am I supposed to accept she took the coward's way out and stepped down to avoid me?

If they'd then dropped the Weeded Out project and the bullshit coercion from VUW, then maybe. Tory stepped down. The harassment continued. She didn't apologise.

That's not good enough. - PS No 'happen', no 'be', no 'solve racial harmony via Weeded Out' ONLY 'I said no, my IP is my equivalent to children and property, and pay me fairly so that you can licence parts of it to make yourselves rich.'
