No, I'm not playing Tim Finn.
I'm not pretending as if I wasn't amanda.
No, hell no.
I'm not doing it. You can't make me.
That's what I'm showing you now.
Seriously, I'm not doing it.
No straight me. NO.
I refuse to only be Tim. I'd rather be dead.
I hated being a guy. That's what Vanya's Lament is about. I was 21 when I recorded that: I've grown up, so all that peter pan bullshit feels so hollow to me. Plus now I'm Amanda. Yes, that name, which I chose for valid reasons. Amy is a diminutive. Some people call me Amy, like my Mum and Lucinda. -
Re: 'detransition' - It's particularly rich coming from women who dress like blokes when they give that advice. 🤣 I'm trying to do something here, which is I don't want to separate my gayness from the rest of my life. Much like Princess (yes, that's a real Kiwi drag artist), I feel like I'm Amanda all the time, and that's my best self. I want people to accept that Amanda the transvestite is as legitimate as any of the Amanda's who are angry with me for choosing that name. I feel like that's what the crux of this 'trial' is all about. As for the scene re: teaching from my screenplay -- I swiped that from a Simpsons episode. Bart's Dog Gets an F lol. Impotence is a classic joke -- all those old cartoons on my FB profile give me the license to be absurd. 2020 was all about me showing off my knowledge of cannabis, while this time it's my NZ cultural knowledge that's being tested. Gen Z all sound like me. It's spooky, right? I'm *technically* a Millenial the way my Dad was *technically* a Boomer (1962 and 1994), so I guess I'm ahead of the curve atm. 🤣
