I present to you Ranked Competitive Blåhaj Gathering.
This is my first attempt at fanfic, and it is inspired by @tpwrtrmnky.bsky.social and @taliabhatt.itch.io's "Ranked Competitive Breast Growth" which you should also read.

Various USians have adapted Come Out Ye Black and Tans for their situation in the past few weeks.
This morning I combined several of those together, added a few tweaks myself, and then tonight performed it on ukulele to bring it back here to Ireland. (1/2)

Happy to report that that the open mic went well, Shove It Up Your Arse in particular continues to be a hit.
Me: Being trans isn't my whole life
Also me: I just wrote a poem about a Freedom of Information request, one of 3 pieces I'll be performing about trans healthcare at an open mic tonight

The eagerness of some people for Ireland to follow the UK in its anti-trans crusade is genuinely worrying.
If the UK jumped off a cliff are we supposed to follow?

I just did my first public ukulele performance at an open mic, of the first song I've written.
"Sip Bro", as is hopefully obvious, falls under the genre of HRTcore.
No wailing, screaming, or fainting was apparent, nor do I think they noticed the one mistake I made.

"Pharmacists will be able to query" despite the PCRS acknowledging "it would be practically very difficult to identify the reason people are using specific products".
