Trans woman, 30s, autistic, socialist.
- I went to a big trans network meet up yesterday and it was mostly lovely, but I felt like such an old woman because I winced every time a British trans women would pronounce 'oestrogen' the American way (with an 'eh' rather than an 'ee').
- So it turns out my daughter mentioned to her friend that I went from being her Dad to her Mum, he told his parents and bless then they looked up all kinds of resources to talk to him about trans people- he was mostly just jealous of the fact that my daughter has two Mums.
- When I found out I thought I'd just come out so that they didn't have to worry about me not knowing that they knew, and of course they were lovely about it. I'm in a weird space where I'm definitely not stealth but also not necessarily shouting about it, especially for anything school related.
- Anyway our little Motherland-esque group of parents and kids are all going to go to Rotherham Pride together this year.
- Finally got around to having a big clear out and I threw away the orange concealer that I used to use to disguise my beard shadow- because thanks to a lot of laser and electrolysis I won't ever need it again!
- Chomsky is a piece of shit, Norman Finkelstein showed how you fucking respond to nonces.
- Of course the DoJ managed to commit a sex crime whilst releasing the documentation of sex crimes.
- This was my attitude to drugs when I was 17. If you still think that they are a substitute for a personality, you need to grow the fuck up.
- Schrodinger's Greens: Simultaneously a place where the middle class aren't welcome, whilst also being too middle class and alienating to working class voters.
- I went on a HET-funded trip to Auschwitz when I was 18 and I'm sure back then (2009 or so) we talked about the fact that the Holocaust was so tied up with eugenics and hence killed racialised groups (Jews, Roma and Slavs) as well as other 'genetic threats' (disabled or queer people).
