What I want

I want the NZSM to back off or to pursue civil action regarding whatever they feel I said that was defamatory. I'd rather defend myself in court. I'm serious. I think I'd do well, and bipolar is also a good legal defence. - I want the Wellington Police to have a forthright, upfront discussion about my transness and the (presumably numerous) complaints that people from the community have filed. The cops can't make me be a he, so they should stop with that. 👋 They know it's not illegal to crossdress, and that's why I'm so sick of being treated like a criminal for that. However, if there are complaints, I would love to hear them and adress them. - I want to be accepted as Amanda wearing women's clothes every day of the week. I want to feel safe in my room; not so easy with doors which can't be locked from the inside... I feel like somebody could burst in at any moment. That's a major difference compared to my last room. 👋 - I want people who disliked my Facebook Ads to stop pretending as if it was illegal. No, it wasn't. I was well within the laws in 2020, and well within the laws with my subsequent Ads. 👍 If my ads were illegal, FB wouldn't run them, and it has stopped me from running some, as I'm not registered for Political Advertising for 2023. Whether it was compulsive... perhaps, but with the combination of self-promotion and the weed cause, it turned out I had lots of creative stuff to share and FB was a good medium for doing that. - However, those who want me to do the Tina script are ignoring that I advertised Shipwrecked on Islands: the 2030 musical as well. For example, The Sands of Time was an advert for Shipwrecked 2030, as was the demo album that I advertised, as was the screenplay-in-progress which I advertised. That's why I've said I won't agree until they have a mature, reasonable discussion with me about both projects and their relative strengths/weaknesses. - They should just agree to Bad Man 2 with those two scenes from the Tina story; so long as it's the My Man's Gone folk song and not any of my originals, I'll begrudgingly do those two scenes. I have stated that I will NOT rewrite the Tina script to include any original songs. That's a bottom line for the negotiation; if they can't accept that, then they are not allowed to produce it. It doesn't matter which celebrities are interested: I have said no. My songs are registered with APRA specifically so I can say no to bullies. - If you want to use the HDCA to take me down, let's discuss that. That's why I deleted my old profiles... but this time I'm willing to take a stand. 👋

Whether I owe Rosemary Riddell an apology: well, yes, I'm sorry that I wasn't aware your husband had died, but I'm not sorry that I called you out for being so pissed-off about my namesake coincidence. When a Family Court judge wants to sue the pants off a twentysomething trannie, then it's fairly obvious that there's an imbalance in power. To be fair, it never went that far, but that's probably because the Greens were covering my arse.
