Hi bloggy-wog! Miss me?! I’ve just realised it’s more than a year since I posted, so I thought now might be a good time to give you an update as we come out of the Covid-19 pandemic.
[Read more…]“Dirty tranny” – getting verbally and physically attacked (by a trans ally)
I’ve emerged relatively unscathed on my trans journey until now. The other night, I was called a “dirty tranny” and a “thing” by a man during a physical attack. And this is a guy who claims to be a trans ally.
My journey into womanhood – a journey, not a destination?
As someone who identifies as transfeminine non-binary, I’ve never gone so far as to call myself a woman.
So you wanna be a trans ally? Great, here are five tips to help you!
I’ve written so much on this blog about transphobia – all about the TERFs and their campaign of hate towards trans people. But while they might shout the loudest, it’s important to remember that these bigots are a tiny minority. Most people these days seem to be very accepting towards trans people. These are known as trans allies.
Love and Pride: one of the best days of my life
I’m at home nursing a hangover today, but I don’t mind at all because yesterday Pride came to town – and it was beyond brilliant. It was one of the best days of my life.

So you’re a transphobe AND a leftie? No, you’re not!

‘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.
