Stop with the 'amy' nonsense

No, it's not my legal name. I changed my legal name to Amanda. Sorry, Mrs. Luxon. You and your husband need to play fair. Don't fund bullies: have an actual conversation. Meet me. Acknowledge my existence rather than attempting to eradicate me. There is no split personality: I'm simply reacting to being trolled this morning. There is no soft, sweet 'split' - no, I'm always highly defensive. Wasn't diagnosed with DID. I know that doesn't jibe with you, but that means I'm whole. Unlike many of you, I'm finally stable. I can even sleep without my sleeping pills. Why has this happened? Because I quit starring in my films. Mr. Luxon: please just let me be. Play fair and you won't have cops investigating you. Be rational. Be sensible. Be fair. If I die, you'll lose the election. You're welcome to disapprove of me, but not to try to convert me to being a man.

I'm a non-Western third gender. Respect my culture.

It's over, Amanda Luxon. People can handle the idea that we have the same name. Nobody is ever going to mistake me for you. Nicola, you're being a selfish bitch. I didn't actually endorse the protest outside your office. People find me inspiring, but that's true enough of any politician or songwriter.

Most people refer to me by my full nom-de-plume. In day to day life, they might call me Amanda, but when discussing me as a musician, then it's almost always Amanda Michelina.
