Trans lesbian feminist witch who loves to write. She/they
After being told that I must wait eight months to get help for being sexually assaulted. He was a stranger. I have decided to go privately. Unfortunately, I can't afford to do this. Will you help me get the help and support that I desperately need?

Using the words of she who must not be named, I have changed something rubbish into something beautiful.

#transjoyisbeautiful and I see it every day. If anyone dares to say that there is no such thing, you don't know any trans people. It's everywhere.

NO cruel cuts to benefits
The Government is planning “catastrophic” cuts that experts say will force disabled people into poverty. Don’t think that’s right? Add your name now.

Here is this week's poem based on being #Rooted

#RootedInChosenFamily is all about how important chosen family is to people. Especially members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

I an not a parasite, I am a decent human being that supports trans people, queer or questioning people, intersex people, asexual people and the many other people who come under the plus.

@ofcom.bsky.social I'm struggling to see how this channel has not been banned yet!
Content warning: In a GB News discussion about LGBTQIA+ people, this contributor describes TQIA+ as "parasitic". This is a textbook example of dehumanising rhetoric. actionstorm.org/petitions/ma...

This is atrocious. @ofcom.bsky.social why are these outdated views being allowed to be shared on a national news channel?

There's misogyny, then there is this.

When you wait months for the police to actually get in touch to provide an update on a transphobic attack.

Then they decide that its more important to wait until after their holiday to provide update.

6 months of someone using pictures of me to attack trans people and me.

If you don't understand why your gay and trans friends are scared right now...

You don't have gay friends... you may know gay or trans people, but you're no friend to them.

Feeling femme. I'm not a damsel in distress, I'm a dragon in a dress.

Another performance this evening. Looking nothing like this.

Wishing people well who has wronged me is like my superpower. I don't hold grudges. I might be in their head, they are not even in mine. I could put them in a story and kill them off. Or I wish their friends more prosperity than then. Sometimes I even do both.
