I’ve just had a message from an old lady friend, and she’s invited me to a ladies-only swimming session. Squeeeee!
Ten months on estrogen, four months on T-blockers, loads more hurdles cleared!
Life’s good. The hormones and anti-hormones are working wonderfully, I’m presenting en femme more often than not, and I bloody love, love, love my new job! Time for an update!
‘Twas the month before Christmas…
It’s gone 2am and I can’t sleep. So I thought I’d post something about Christmas – because this one is going to be my first Christmas as female me, and I’m rather looking forward to it.
Why transphobia means I’m quitting Twitter
Just a short post, this one. I’m quitting Twitter. I’ve not closed my account, but I’m taking a break which may become permanent. Why? Transphobia!
#LwiththeT – why the TERFs’ London Pride bullshit spectacularly failed
Yesterday was like Christmas for grown-ups. I woke up like a kid on Christmas morning, so excited about seeing England in the World Cup Quarter-Final (OMG, what a football match!) But, like a transphobic relative on Christmas Day, there had to be someone to spoil it, didn’t there? Enter the TERFs.
Being slandered in Parliament by infamous TERF Posie Parker
I need to be very careful what I write here because legal wheels are in motion on several fronts, but I couldn’t let this incident go without saying anything. It’s not every day you get slandered by a TERF in the Houses of Parliament.

Nothing could be further from the truth – I adore women so much that I want to become one, FFS! Anyway, I went on a hen do on Saturday, and that just reinforced the love and respect I have for women. WOMEN ARE AWESOME!!!
We need to talk about hate crime
Since writing my A-Z of Terf bullshit, I’ve had a few comments from people attempting to defend the indefensible, as I knew I would. One or two claim what’s happening does not constitute hate crime – and they’re wrong.
Glossary: An A-to-Z of TERF bullshit
Since joining Twitter two years ago, I’ve had to put up with all kinds of abuse from TERFs – Trans-Exclusionary so-called Feminists. So I thought I’d write an A-to-Z of the nonsense they repeat day after day like a stuck record – and try to debunk it. [Read more…]
I have a serious case of TERF fatigue
I’ve always been someone with a firm belief in justice. If somebody is being a dick, you let them know and try to find ways to get them to stop being a dick. But if it’s making you exhausted, is it worth it?
