I have to say @dailytelegraph I have finally read a newspaper article and felt it to be completely balanced. Nothing snide or insinuated and pretty much to the point. So you see, true journalism is possible and very helpful.
In the real world I do not live in a queer bubble and I interact with all my fellow humans with respect. Whatever JK and her fellow 'Terfs' feel I treat everyone the same and nothing she says will alter that. In fact, I have turned up my humanity because it turns out that being kind is better for me.
We need to remove @jk_rowling from the conversation because she has 'Hog-warted' it for too long. I think the world is over stimulated by the internet and we have all opened our windows far too wide. Through our online profiles and platforms we have over-explained ourselves and people think we can be explained by the labels we give ourselves. The myth of an LGBTQI+ movement has turned out to be very unhelpful. It seems we have all been signed up, conscripted, without our consent. Do you think I call the queer hotline when I'm choosing a hat?
Of course I feel a powerful connection to anyone queer or different but it's never been exclusive. I uphold everyone's right to be whoever they are. Normality is not a crime. In fact, I find it very sexy.
My queerness is as relevant as the colour of my eyes and it takes up about four hours a month, if I'm lucky. We are told that we go on and on about it and this has been exacerbated by the internet but why should we hide what is perfectly normal to us?
The internet is insane and I often post crazy clips on my instagram stories that would constipate a conservative. I guess if you are really uptight you imagine, these freaks, are ruining my beautiful life but you can always avert your gaze. It's true, there are now more drag queens than pubs but dressing up is liberating. Who knew? The suggestion that queer or leftists adults are telling kids to be 'trans' is an ugly lie. I cannot say it has never happened but I know people with 'trans' kids and I know how much they struggle and fight to do the right thing. As a rule it is the child that informs the adults and often just because they are not doing the things expected of a little boy or girl. My queerness was apparent from about six or seven but mum just said I was 'highly strung and theatrical'. It was kids at school or in the street that called me 'girlie' and pointed out my difference with a brutality that would lead a more sensitive soul to suicide.
This idea that there are 'no trans people' is just completely untrue. I read about April Ashley when I was a child and I later photographed her in her eighties. What an inspirational and stoic character she was. Our first encounter in the very early 80s was a disaster. I went to a party at Danny La Rue's flat with Philip Sallon (and yes Marilyn) who upset April with some quip and we were thrown out. I cannot explain Marilyn's stance and it is shocking to discover how conservative she is. Btw, I call everyone 'she' and have done since the 70s because I think more 'Yin' is needed in the universe. Peter, has insisted for over forty years that we address him as Marilyn but has an issue with anyone else creating an alternative persona. It's sad because I think of Marilyn as an accidentally pioneer. Watching her unravel her legacy is painful.
When I met April for lunch years later she was surprised to learn that I was an avid fan and she agreed to let me photograph her for an exhibition in her hometown of Liverpool. No fee, just a few bottles of very expensive champagne. I was so thrilled to finally lay that incident to rest.
How crazy that we are still having these pointless arguments about gender. Women carry us into this world and we don't get to decide what we are or how the world will treat us. When I see JK calling 'trans women' 'him' I feel very disappointed that someone with such a great imagination can be so small minded and cruel. Most people use toilets to expel waste and public toilets are ugly smelly places. Who goes into a toilet to hang out and cause trouble? I'm not saying it doesn't happen but it's very rare.
I have spent years feeling uncomfortable using men's bathrooms because when I'm painted and wearing a hat you can only imagine how quickly I want it over with. These days I would rather use a bush or hold it till I get home. People forget how much abuse I have taken for being queer but I wouldn't want to be straight if I was able to start over. Not because I think being queer is special or better but arguing against 'what is' is a kind of insanity. Even at eleven I thought it was meant to be. It was around the time I first saw David Bowie as Ziggy Stardust and realised I wasn't the only one. Isn't it ironic that my biggest queer influences were straight men. David Bowie, Marc Bolan, Steve Harley, Russel Male with a hint of Steve Priest.
I have been queer for a long time and that should count for something. If I were a racing pundit you would queuing up for tips. I'm sorry if you think there are just too many of us. We have always been there like the sun sitting behind the clouds. I do not hate JK Rowling because I am a sane adult. Surprise!!!!

What a great shame that @Martina has forgotten what it is like to be discriminated against.
