Why continue the boycott?

Put yourself in my shoes: I came out as trans, and was largely rejected by society. Nobody offered me gigs, I had one teenage student, and people called me nasty names. In my view, nothing has put that right, and a gig of any kind - AMPP meetings excepted -would be me giving you what you want after your actions, which came rather close to seriously injuring or killing me. - It's Wellington-specific. Quite keen to play in the rest of NZ. - Definitely not doing any public musicking while Tory's still the mayor, but hopefully I'll build a better relationship with Andrew Little in the new term. Tory's team were clearly shocked by my passion in AMPP Season 1, but I wasn't the one that decided to consistently antagonise me. They thought they'd shame me into being a man, and that reflects poorly on the Greens.

Has it ever occurred to you that people would respect me on the set if you did your job and told them to listen to the transvestite director rather than spreading bogus rumours? Unfortunately for you
