We all know the reason that I wasn't forced to change my name is that I have evidence - and people who can corroborate - that I was using that name in 2019 and 2020. I was releasing tracks as Amanda in early 2021. We've all seen the video of my evidence, so let's stop pretending like you haven't. Perhaps you weren't aware that I kept a diary, but your arrogance irritates me - If you're so bloody angry, then why didn't we have a polite, if terse, meeting where you expressed your concern to my face and had to accept my humanity in doing so? Why wasn't I charged or convicted if I'm a dangerous threat to national security? I bet you're on a first name basis with my uncle, Dr. John Crawshaw, so why haven't I been held under a Compulsory Treatment Order for my deranged views? Perhaps it's because in 2019, the RANZCP (Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists) continued to refine its approach to transgender health, emphasising that being trans/gender diverse is not a mental illness, while focusing on supporting mental health and access to care. You are way behind the times on this issue, and you can't defend your view. That's why you're only expressing it when you threaten me with anonymous bullshit. - Your views of me as a cynical political operator reflect your insulation from reality. I don't even make a living wage. I'm not in it for the money: It's existential. I can't have a 'productive' life until my medications are legal and I'm able to come to the office in the clothes of my choice without being fired. I'm anti-war because my grandfather Adrian was a conscientious objector who opted to be a medic instead of going to jail. What he saw in the Pacific traumatised him for the rest of his life, where he worked as a nurse in psychiatric wards. We all know that you are rich and expect special privileges as a result, but the reality is that the New Zealand public doesn't see my name as offensive. I'm sure there are thousands of other Amanda's in New Zealand. What about Amandulah? Is she suddenly suspect? - You can choose to meet me, or you can choose to quit harassing me via your proxies. There are no other choices. My actions are legal, and your obfuscations probably aren't. The police investigation into the anti-trans harassment that I'm receiving is still live. Do you really want to be implicated in a scandal that could be classed as torture? That doesn't seem very Christian of you... Yours sincerely, Amanda Riddell PS If your kids are in the group of the harassers, that will reflect poorly upon your view that you have superior values to us crazy stoners and queers. My actions are free expression. Yours are essentially hate speech (by AMPP's definition).

Yes, but my justification is sound. In my mind, academic writing is just word shuffling. Believe me, I spent six months evaluating academic essays across the Commonwealth. It's already written by for

Transgender kids are a live issue (unfortunately). Transgender adults aren't. https://www.ranzcp.org/clinical-guidelines-publications/clinical-guidelines-publications-library/role-of-psychiatrists-working-with-trans-gender-diverse-people All the evidence says that we are the socioethnic group that faces the largest amount of discrimination, but our basic existence and right to behave differently are 100% legal. There is no way of changing that. Carmen won that right in the late 1960's. You can hate me, and you can want to kill me, but that will ultimately kill your votes.
