Camilla, they have to stop. If they want me to be well, they have to stop.

That's what you need to say when Cass calls you. Tell her that it's obvious that her machinations are having an adverse effect on Amanda's recovery. She's only calling you because she isn't respecting my legal freedoms.

Same goes with Salina and Michelle: VUW has to cease for my well-being.

Like, it's not enough that I'm studying elsewhere? It's not enough that I'm actively developing a stage project and a short film?

It's not enough that I made this epic documentary about my life and weed?


That, Stu, is my answer. Please tell them that Amanda is simply stating her legal rights for the umpteenth time because they have never shown any respect for those rights, and that the cash settlements reflect the fact that they've used their privilege and money to make Wellington Central an actively hostile space for me.


Tell them your opinion regarding whether you think I'm right to ask for an apology.


Thanks.

As for the apologies... I think that's the least they could do, given that they used illegal methods to communicate and asked me to be something other than myself. I think this also proves - if I'm not nuts - that conversion therapy is ineffective. Even with all this bullshit, I stuck to my guns and have continued to live my life as Amanda.
