To my enemies

Look, if you've never managed to get a case to happen with the police, even though the cops weren't happy with my involvement in the Wellington Daktory, then that's because being trans isn't a crime and neither is being vocal. Being uncomfortable is part of tolerance. You don't have to accept me, but you do have to tolerate that my rights are equal to yours. If you work in a service industry, then you need to tolerate people who use the service. Attempting to exclude them from society is how you create crime. Though you may disapprove, my illegal actions are something that the cops let us do. Real LSD is incredibly safe, provided you're a druggie. People have a lot of hangups, and psychedelic means soul-revealing. Most people aren't as comfortable with themselves. - National and Act supporters need to accept that their parties did harass me, and that trying to force me out of a supermarket has backfired spectacularly. What's far more important, however, is the Wellington Green branch finally admitting responsibility for the attempts to threaten, extort, and bully me since Tory became mayor. Yes, it makes you look bad. Yes, you still have to. Tam's going to lose her seat over it. - Nicola needs to move to another neighbourhood. She's not welcome in my world if this is how she makes people act. That store owner is going to end up in the media as a bigot if he doesn't drop it, Nicola.

Believe me, the entire neighbourhood loves me, and hates Tory for being a bitch and Nicola for being a bigot.


I knew you hated us, but it was only when you had to see me that you turned.

Day 1 was tough. By Day 200, everyone knew Tory was at fault. I've been living in Jville for almost three years: everyone's seen my best and worst. Had the election been held with the old electorates, I might've stood.

People like hearing me sing, and I do sing a bit in Jville. Wellington desperately wants my random sing-songs back, as it turned out people like hearing someone that sings in tune. The rants are also funny. People forget that when they criticise me. I'm able to get a laugh in real life. Taika did random stuff like me. I'm not the first.
