Show me where it's written that my transition was supposed to fulfil other people's dreams? They may have dreamed of a passing trans woman under their thumb, but that wasn't my goal, and I feel like the social rejection for not passing was rude. As I say, I think that Wellington failed me, and not vice-versa. - I literally refuse to pass; my mental health team said that nobody would force me, so that means that the attitudes from VUW and the townspeople are bigoted and regressive. Why should I pass? Why should I make things comfortable for people that gave me the evil eye for daring to wear a dress and a beard, and turned their kids away from me on the streets? Why should I be a nice fairy for arseholes that didn't accept the new me? Why should I tuck my dick for dickheads?

I don't know. Arthur said that his lawyers reckon he might be abducted again, so he's probably lying low in the UK or Australia.

There isn't any way of persuading me to be Tina and pass. That is actually not going to happen, and that attitude is why it's not happening. As I say, if you want to realise that dream, buy my script and cast somebody else.
