To the authorities

I'm not having this complacent 'you should be happy that we've let you make this documentary, so stop whining about how we ruined your life' attitude that I'm sensing from some of the drug enforcement authorities. Bluntly, the cops know that the tide has turned on drug law reform, and want to look good in the next few years, so this is a PR opportunity for them. Given that I haven't given a huge amount of evidence that I'm being stalked by the fuzz, it's essentially my word for it, but I've made some pretty ballsy statements and haven't been pulled up by my mental health team. Presumably, people are reading this blog, so if I was wrong that they tried to use online porn to alter my gender orientation then I'm sure that I would have been charged for defamation.

Perhaps it shouldn't have been my responsibility to clear my name and say things as ballsy the statements about my sexuality in The Big Smoke. Perhaps people that knew little about gender diversity should have taken my word for it that I was trans and that I'd always been so. That's what a trans-inclusive future would look like.
