I'm tired of my friends treating my gender as an extension of my eccentricities, I'm tired of "centrists", I'm tired of having to wake up every single day to a world that wants me fucking dead.
I am so fucking tired. Tired of the hate campaigns, tired of allies who aren't willing to educate themselves, tired of fearing for my safety in public, tired of organisations who continue to do nothing to fight for the people they pretend to represent,
I'm tired of inactive activists, tired of giant transphobic billboards, tired of living in this violent transphobic shithole, I'm tired of people telling me this place isn't a violent transphobic shithole, I'm tired of "allies" who don't listen to people with lived experience
To say "both sides" implies equal levels of extremism.
One "side" are queer people fighting for healthcare and their lives in an increasingly hostile landscape.
The other "side" are literal nazis.
So disappointing from #mediawatch
Look, I don't have anything against Paul Barry personally. Some of my friends are hacks and frauds. I just don't think he should be allowed near children or use a bathroom or be on tv or use a change room or appear in public or be in a comic book or an advertisement
Cis isn't a slur, it's a descriptive adjective just like "apartheid benefactor" or "divorced" or "hated so much by my kids that they changed their name so as to have nothing to do with me"
