Taking the voyeurs to task

Well, I wasn't expecting to write this, but here's a quick examination of privilege and how it's been weaponised to manipulate me. The implicit assumption driving all these wealthy, powerful people who are stalking me (including the ally ones who are attracted to me 👋) is that I should give up my way of life and take on theirs simply because they have more money and social acceptance than me, presuming that this circumstance is conditional on some inherent superiority in their bearing or skillset rather than a condition of privilege. Ms Swarbrick might actually be the most annoying woman on the planet, but to me that's genuinely exciting. I like arseholes: they're honest, and they're usually far more fun to talk to than boring, 'safe' people. - You're the ones getting off to my stuff, not me. I actually don't listen to music while I wank, and when I do it's mostly a failure. I'm too trained: I can't 'just listen' to music -- I'm always deconstructing it. - Plus reminding them again that singling me out as 'the special trannie' is actually doing a disservice to trans communities, while my explicit goal of humanising us is going fairly well in urban NZ. Michelle Kan wasn't pleased when I outed him, and I'm sure lots of people weren't, but it's why my message is compelling: it's not just anecdotes and gossip; it's also supported by strong evidence. If I'm ok because I'm brainy, then everyone else should be okay as well for whatever gifts and talents that they have.
