A little snapshot of my trip to NZ for New Years. It may have been a quick visit, but it was still full of plenty of new memories and new experiences.

Getting back from New Zealand I have been reflecting on how much has changed since my last overseas trip which helped me have such a more positive experience. #Trans #Transjoy #Tgirl #Transjourney #Translife #Transgendertravel
A much better travelling experience
After getting back from NZ I have been reflecting a little on my last experience while traveling to Bali. In Bali, I was constrained and faced ongoing misgendering, affecting my enjoyment. In contrast, my New Zealand trip, after starting HRT and gaining confidence, allowed for authentic self-expression and with support from my boyfriend, a more consistent and enjoyable experience.

The last couple of months in Aus have been filled with division and dangerous right - wing populism. There have been a few small wins but with attacks on trans kids spreading to New Zealand and the NT it's all a bit bleak to end the year. #Transrights #LGBTQIA #Auspol #Australia #ProtectTranskids

On the 19th of December the QLD government extended their pause on blockers and GAHT for trans youth despite the contradictory advice of their own independent review. Clearly they are acting on ideology and not the public interest. #trans #transrights #protecttranskids #transkids #auspol #lgb
Dear Queensland your conservative ideology is showing now more than ever.
In Queensland, a conservative government paused puberty blockers and gender-affirming care for new patients, facing criticism for prioritizing ideology over evidence. An independent review acknowledged limited evidence on treatments but highlighted potential benefits for mental health. Despite the advice for improved access, the government extended the ban, impacting vulnerable youth.

Trying something new to get back into reading I turned to some trans horror in Grace Byron's Herculine. An entertaining read that blends elements of trans experience with the supernatural for a captivating story. Read my extended take.

Any commune can hold dark secrets: Herculine review
In "Herculine" by Grace Byron, the unnamed narrator navigates life in New York, struggling with personal trauma and the challenges of trans identity. Seeking a fresh start at a commune, she confronts deeper issues of manipulation and supernatural threats. The novel blends supernatural horror with poignant themes, reflecting elements of trans experiences in an engaging read.

Trying something new, some temporary colour before taking the plunge and dye my hair. I'm still undecided.

We are all hurting in Australia. Most of us still trying to wrap our heads a round the tragic events last Sunday. In part writing this was my way of trying to understand while hoping to help others.

Latest from down under: Tragedy in Bondi
Our nation is hurting after the tragic events at Bondi as we deal with the worst mass shooting we have seen since Port Arthur. The government is clear in it's response with tighter gun laws on the way but the on going impact on our communities is far from clear. Meanwhile there are people trying to use this tragedy for their own ends. So here is where it all stands.

I am very humbled & proud to announce that once again, I have been short-listed for The Pearl Prize as part of Melbourne's Midsumma festival. It means a lot to be included alongside other LGBTQIA writers and explore Queer experience.

Starting a new relationship is terrifying and as a transwoman it really can be a leap of faith. However, a year on I have defiantly found a new source of joy and support which has me looking to the future.

Finding joy in something different: Starting a new relationship.
Starting a new relationship as a transwoman in my 30s has been a transformative experience in many ways. It has given me a greater appreciation for the importance of emotional support and acceptance. The positive dynamics have helped foster some personal growth, shared interests, and flexibility, ultimately providing a sense of peace and optimism for the future.

I've been sick all weekend, but nothing short of being bedridden was going to stop me from seeing AC/DC. Dosed up on meds, I managed to get to the MCG for some high voltage rock. So worth it. My highlight was 'Jailbreak', which they haven't played live since 1991. #rockchick #melbourne #acdc

Wearing a new outfit has become a new kind of fun this year that has brought me a lot of joy. It gives me real confidence and makes me glow all day. It's hard to believe I used to wear boring male clothes every day.

It's surprising at times what helps affirm our identity and triggers a little hit of euphoria. It's just a simple T-shirt, nothing really that different from what I wore as a guy.

It is something similar but different. A symbol of continuity and change.

Caught up with my parents this week, my dad made me laugh in a weirdly affirming way. He was a little concerned that I was going goth.

I was not wearing any black, so it was just bizarre, but I also loved that we are at the stage.

Hate is everywhere at the moment, and for trans people, it is sadly a fact of life. Even in supportive environments like Australia, it is part of our experience.

I used to go to concerts and envy all the girls in hot outfits. So... I became one, unleashing my inner attitude and some of those punk rock roots, I've learned to dress with a bit of an edge.

I started a new insta so it doesn't have my ex-wife scrutinising everything or family who message me about stories they find insulting while ignoring everything else. So I am posting with a bit more freedom.
