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.
