If you’re going to do battle with me, make sure you’re armed.

Today has seen me fully involved in one of my favourite types of battle, with a couple of women I don’t actually know backing me up. It all started with a comment on a friend’s Facebook page about his other half coming to the aid of a pregnant woman when several white men attacked an Indian man on a train because he ‘looked like a terrorist,’ which read:

On my childhood best friend’s 35th birthday…

My darling Dizzy Frizzy Blonde, we’ve known each other over half our lives, scary thought, isn’t it? Mum always said you’d be my Linda (her childhood BFF) and she was right. We can go long periods without talking, but we always pick up exactly where we left off, and it feels like no time hasContinue reading “On my childhood best friend’s 35th birthday…”

How do you cope with particularly difficult days?

I’m not going to tame this post. It’s not going to be something fluffy and sweet, what is below the cut may trigger people. But I need to get it out, so it may be a post you want to skip by.

I love working for them as they’re warm, caring compassionate people with my sense of humour. I spend the weekend working with TG at the events I work for them andContinue reading “Conventions, friends, Irlen’s and One Little Pill”

Sometimes goodbye is easier than hello

I had a friend whom I loved deeply.  He was like the other side of my Genderqueer self.  We would talk for hours and hours about things that seemed to only make sense to the two of us.  We would talk about time as a non-linear construct, past lives, gender identity, and all of itContinue reading “Sometimes goodbye is easier than hello”

September brings Autumn

My Summer holiday is officially over. I am back in the real world and today was back at work.  Coming home from 2 weeks in the hot climes of Alabama and Georgia back to British weather is always a bit of a downer, but today, even with the showers, I can say for certain IContinue reading “September brings Autumn”
