Get to the front. Hold it up so Lizzo can see it. It's an awesome design. I'm pretty sure if you show people in front what you've done, they'll let you through if you're not already there. I saw footage from the sydney show and it looked like a nice crowd.
Just be honest, and / or use my tried and true method. No explanation, just "something came up and I can't make it." Something that came up I don't explain that it was I didn't want to go. It's still honest. I can't lie to people, but omitting information likely to cause offense is nice.
I decided to vote yes ages ago, my old neighbours are first nations people from Alice. So I'm just not reading any of it. I agree, get it done. Them and some of their family members were for it.
It's gross that the no camp are trying to reach the old no camp from the same sex marriage plebiscite. Calling all bigots and colonialists, vote no. ffs. It's also ridiculous that they can't be held to account for misinformation.
Exactly. Why pretend to fit into a society which marginalises anyway just for trying? Fuck that! We're here and we're queer and we're not buying their bullshit.
There must be a youtube simple solution to peeling eggs. I crack the top and bottom and roll which loosens the shell, but it's still a fiddly picky job. That was taught to me by my son's great grand mother.
I think they've covered a lot of marginalised groups which weren't previously. I agree though they should just outlaw vilification based on any percieved difference. Oh and make the spread of information which could cause others to vilify a crime as well. Freedom of speech like every other right has to be balanced with responsibility with not using it to cause other's pain.
Yeah, I've been paying for my recent neglect in money and pain just recently. Last week was hell, today though felt like it did when I was getting a bunch of tatts, bearable pain. One more session and I'll have saved my teeth from falling out as long as I look after them.
Typical, I had to escalate my resignation to upper management as my boss hadn't bothered to reply to me. Such a lazy spineless pos. He had sent the letter on to upper management. A simple cc would have been easy. At least I don't have to rely on him to get my separation certificate. Not sure what to do next, I want to have the book thrown at them but I also want to put it all behind me. My best thought is to focus on the future and accept that I had a music and dj career far and beyond most people's dreams. Let the people left there deal with the bullshit themselves.
Easy day, dental hygienist appt, wasted trip to the bank, my first hiccup using my preferred name. Whatever, these things take time and I have the rest of my life to sort the beauraucratic crap out. Working in the moring at 630 am. It's nice becoming a morning person and I finish work before afternoon traffic. The cats always get me up pretty early but I'll need an early night. I'm tired of saying onward and upward, I just want a peaceful life. This endless search for more, better, easier is a load of capitalist crap. No walk, had an afternoon nap and glad I decided a rest day was in order.
My feet have weird new sore places from all the walking in my new from the hips gait. It's affirming my gender transition while at the same time meaning I need to wear different shoes today to see if they combat the soreness a little. Wish me luck, I did 9ks yesterday but need unsore feet for work later in the week.
The world is set up for people to not question anything. It's footy or netball, bbq or baking. I never fit gender stereotypes and still refuse to as a trans woman honestly. I get bullied by some trans woman about my voice and my hrt and tell them to stop being so condescending. I've always been this way I just have the right hormones now. I never thought it meant I was trans until I read that it did and tried leaning more into makeup and drag such. That gave me euphoria. My psych suggested I go on hormones, did my informed consent and to live a life I'd always dreamed about seemed incredible. But it never really meant, oh cool high heels and frocks. It meant being biologically female and to have real female emotions and to finally realy be "one of the girls" at least it does now. Now I just wear what I feel like, masc or femme according to common perceptions. But it's still pretty androgenous. People bullied me to see I needed a new style too. Fuck that, I have always worn band tshirts and such, why should I change that? I have a lot of skirts and a few super femme tops though to be fair.
Make up is a pain in the butt, expensive, bad for skin and takes ages. It's good for events and of course it makes me feel special, but for everyday when I don't need to do anything about it, why waste time and money? I don't need to pass so the cis world can treat me like one of their own... That's a bit like admitting defeat.
I think some trans women dislike that because they never expressed their femininity until it was bursting out of them. People are always people though and want to tell you what to do.
Not sure how melbourne will be, but it honestly looked like people were giving each other enough space to breathe and not cramming in like sardines.
