Somewhere, on UK supermarket shelves, there must be a laundry detergent called "Scent Of Vinted"
I've still not been able to find it, but every seller I've bought from has.
I'm afraid I won't be able to sell on there or get good feedback if I don't use it too.

If I hear the words "Dignity" or "respect" out of a politicians mouth again when talking about trans people I swear I'm going to lose it.
Can they not hear themselves? Are they so tin-eared?

"Dignity and respect" is 2025 UK's "thoughts and prayers"; in both cases neither are present or happening.

Still rather nonplussed that the suggestion of the Equalities and Human Rights Commission head for what trans people should do is to campaign for our own segregation and apartheid.

Stay safe if you're taking part in the UK protests this weekend and if this isn't seen at all of them then what are we even doing with our lives?
Come to think of it this should be the iconic rallying cry for all trans amab folks right now.

*staggers unexpectedly to the side and manages to sit*
I felt a grave disturbance, as if a thousand trans voices who had transitioned and then pulled the ladder up after them suddenly declared they wanted to be part of the community again.

So the Sisyphean boulder rolls down the hill.
Its not hit bottom again yet, but each roll is undoing decades of progress for rights.
It'll stop rolling & we'll start rolling it uphill again, bit by bit.
Knowing that it'll likely never reach the same heights again in my lifetime is devastating.
