@RealDannyTommo FAFO

[Jason Jess Russell @Translover70]

@ShalkaFanNo1 I feel the same way. *hugs*

[Jason Jess Russell @Translover70]

@nyaraVT So, logically, that would mean that trans girls are inherently superior, no?

[Jason Jess Russell @Translover70]

@Jr_McClimax @Ranjithkadraka Agreed

[Jason Jess Russell @Translover70]

@ellistrans Yes

@AtHomewithkeely hi there

[Jason Jess Russell @Translover70]

@RealDannyTommo @drhingram @TommoSaintsfc @DailyMail You don't like it up you do it.

[Jason Jess Russell @Translover70]

@JuoPosts Oddly, they never measured mine, although I did have it measured recently for some new shirts lol. 19"! That's mainly because I've lost a lot of weight and work out three times a week now, though

[Jason Jess Russell @Translover70]

@JuoPosts Have you seen an ENT specialist?

[Jason Jess Russell @Translover70]

Nope. I was overweight with pre-existing ENT issues. I happened to mention that I felt like I wasn't getting enough sleep and I was always tired. They put me on an overnight O2 meter and discovered I had severe SA, over 200 events in one night! Once I was given the CPAP that has dropped to basically zero

@FeenieDarling @hyperdollia Some of us are organising. There is a protest tomorrow outside Parliament regarding the recent EHRC ruling

[Jason Jess Russell @Translover70]

@hyperdollia Keep living your truth. We will win this fight, as those whose footsteps we follow won theirs

[Jason Jess Russell @Translover70]

@TsAshleys I love them x

[Jason Jess Russell @Translover70]

@chainmailslut Probably because they have been radicalised by GB News and Daily HateExpressoMail

[Jason Jess Russell @Translover70]

@Vannialll I'll be in London tomorrow. Drinks?

@AvaEvelynde0c Mmmm

I felt this follow-up to my previous comment on my social anxiety needed its own post. So here we go. Trigger warning - touches on trauma and sexuality:
I’ve often wondered whether I might be somewhere on the spectrum. I’ve always tended to become incredibly absorbed in things that interest me, cars, music, audio, computers and so on and I like to think I’ve become pretty knowledgeable about them. I read widely, compare information from different sources and can spend an unhealthy amount of time analysing things! 📷
I also have some fairly strong preferences about how certain things should be organised. At times, things have to be arranged just so, although ironically, my flat is generally a complete mess! 📷
Socially, however… well, that’s a different story.
I grew up in an older family environment. Both my parents were quite old when I was born, and much of the social life I experienced as a child revolved around older uncles and aunts. Looking back, I think I was always something of a loner at school, even in primary school. I was never particularly interested in sport, but I could happily spend hours building Technic LEGO, for example.
Getting my first computer changed my life in many ways. It gave me a career path and something I was genuinely good at, but I also spent most evenings in front of it. Perhaps, as a result, I missed out on some of the normal teenage social experiences, mixing with people my own age, learning about relationships, flirting and, perhaps most importantly, learning to recognise all those subtle social and body-language signals that other people seemed to pick up naturally.
I was never particularly academically gifted, although I’ve always considered myself intelligent and reasonably well read. Perhaps what I lack in academic ability has been made up for by curiosity and a fair bit of life experience.
School itself certainly didn’t help. I was bullied continuously and absolutely hated being there. I couldn't wait to leave and get on with my life.
My twenties actually started quite well, but then a major family tragedy happened. If I’m completely honest, I never fully recovered from the trauma it caused, both personally and within my family.
That period eventually led to me losing a job I loved, the breakdown of a relationship and having to live with an increasingly difficult and unpredictable family situation.
I turned to alcohol as a way of coping with how poorly I was feeling and, perhaps more than anything, as a way of trying to switch everything off for a while.
Things changed considerably in my thirties, although there were still parts of myself that I simply couldn’t express because of the environment I’d grown up in, the HIV/AIDS crisis I’d lived through and my mother's homophobia.
I married, but if I’m honest with myself now, I think I did so largely because I felt that it was what was expected of me. It also seemed like a possible way out of the situation I was living in at the time.
For much of my life, I suppressed parts of who I really was.
It’s only relatively recently that I’ve started to fully embrace who I am, what I’m attracted to and what makes me happy. I’m an AMAB guy who is attracted to trans femmes and femininity, but I’m also beginning to explore my own feminine side.
Her name is Jess. 📷
I’m still figuring out exactly where that journey will take me, but for the first time in my life, I’m allowing myself to explore it without feeling that I have to fit into somebody else’s idea of who I should be.
Perhaps understanding all of this is also part of understanding my social anxiety. There’s a lot of history behind it, and I’m beginning to realise that changing it may take more than simply telling myself to “go and talk to people”.
But I’m trying. And, after a lifetime of hiding parts of myself, I think that’s actually quite a big step forward. 📷

I'm proud to say that I have never read or seen any of the Harry Pooper books/films. #TransLivesMatter #TransRightsAreHumanRights
