I'm not chloe. I'm not running for office.


Do you really think that I could win Wellington Central?


I mean, I admit that I'd enjoy debating the real candidates.


But my philosophy is that the joke candidate shouldn't stand, as it's a wasted vote. 👋

I can't feel safe around those people. That's my real feeling about the NZSM.


I became Amanda, and that's why I left. I could tell that I wasn't welcome when I was young.


Alison is what I called myself when I was younger, btw. I think 2017 was when I first used a name to describe my femme self. I can't feel safe around people who catfished me. That's fair.
