The fact that Splott, as a part of Cardiff, home to between 13-15 thousand people doesn't have a community council feels icky to me given that the parts of Cardiff that have community councils are much less populous and have been parts of Cardiff for less time than Splott has
Now, lounging on my bed after a busy pride weekend, I find myself reminiscing of the lightbulb moment where I finally realised that I was trans, despite the anti-trans protestors at Pride Cymru this year, I find heart in the fact that trans people have always been fighting (1/3)
Walking home from town earlier, and just as I came into splott, some randomer fool, peeked out of the corner of the India centre and as I passed started giggling like a child, am very unsettled
So me and a friend got a taxi off of Dragon Taxis in Cardiff for a trip that would've been less than 4 miles in total, and the driver charged us ยฃ15 to get from St Mary's Street to the motorpoint because town-splott-bay is apparently ยฃ20, absolute disgrace
... like if you're gonna be inclusive of gender neutral folk, go all out or not at all, because imo, it forces trans and cis women into a box, not allowing us to use the toilet in comfort, while letting men be twats about everything also fucking over g-neutral folk (2/2)
Spicy take: as a trans woman, I really don't like when women's toilets are converted into gender neutral spaces while men's spaces are usually left alone, it invalidates trans and cis women, while allowing men to go into converted spaces and pee all over the toilet seats (1/2)
