To the creeps and the cowards

Don't pretend like what you did on BDSMLR or DeviantArt was ok. It wasn't. When one creates one of those profiles, they don't expect their friends to stalk them. I don't mind people wanking to those images; I hate selfies, so all the images are something that has composition, and I chose the stills with the best postures. However, creating responding images to bully me into being Tina is illegal. - As I say, much of Wellington's creative and queer community were involved. Calling out Ricky the GMA person; bugger off. Tory's reign of terror is over, and one of my allies is the mayor now. Believe me that Andrew is far more likely to listen to me regarding trans issues. Everyone needs to own up, then say sorry. That's simply the protocol to avoid trial. If you don't, the boycott will continue. I'm not abusing my celebrity status. I'm saying it doesn't exist unless all the spying ends. Until then, I'm a human peep show. - If you want me to reconnect, start by admitting that my basic self is fine. That I don't have to lose weight, take hormones or wear extensions to be valid. Coming from people who aren't as pretty as me, it seems like torture. Admit that the drag queens, Tory, Cass and others called me a fetishist to diminish me. Admit that you all played your little roles, but it's over and some might be convicted. - This is why the old-timers like me more than you guys: I've got balls. I don't need a community of fellow trannies to survive. That's what sets me apart. You guys need to do what I did. Get a serious job, then come as you. Otherwise, you'll never know if it's you or the clothes that's costing you jobs. In my instance, it was definitely the clothes. Knowing that allowed me to win. RNZ was literally within inches of outright saying 'transition or be let go' 2 years later, they're considering hiring me back as is, with zero discussion of outfits. I won that fight with them, so I can win it with anyone that's reasonable.

That's Michelle's story, both in the past and over the last several years. It's fiction, but it's close enough to the truth.
