sometimes i worry there weren't enough 'signs' about me being trans but then i remember that i was literally delivered as a baby by a nurse wearing an elegant red ballgown

years ago i once paid off a friend's speeding ticket even though i was the passenger, because it was my fault: i played Foggy Mountain Breakdown on the aux so he had no choice but to speed down the empty motorway pretending the Beauford Brothers were after us

At work today a big scary looking American guy came back after I served him to tell me privately his daughter is trans, and he was excited to tell her because she's in high school back home and here's me out and about in the world 😭😭😭

WHEN I GO SEE A FILM I WANT TO SEE THOSE CULT CLASSICS CULT CLASSICS CULT CULT CLASSICS

it brings me great soulful harmony knowing my very own retired father is one of the guys who comments on Chapppell songs like, "I am 74 years old and I think this is great!!!"

on the rare occasions trans women are allowed to participate in the national discourse, we are siloed as ‘trans activists’, whatever we actually do for a living. meanwhile, people who dedicate massive portions of their lives to campaigning against us get to be ‘feminists’, ‘authors’, ‘experts’, etc.

Rozzie's End of 2024 goals: * get a new job that isn't one where i have 30-40 colleagues * start electrolysis * practice makeup... wings?? * do a tab of acid and Think About Things * go to a local trans event in my city, befriend one mutual local transfem friend * explain to my parents lmao

Suddenly haunted by the memory that for my entire childhood my mum would point out "gross" men in public and say I would end up like that if I didn't do X or Y. And to think there was a time where I didn't believe that I had known dysphoria for as long as I could remember.

omg what if i name myself Siobhan then my roller derby can be SILK SIOBHAN!!!

right now it's merely the hope i make, complete, and release something ever again
