Tabby Lamb @tabby.bsky.social · Nov 21

Ok so now i’ve settled in a little, maybe it’s time for an intro post:

I’m an award winning transfeminine writer for stage, screen and audio. My work centres trans folk, and transfems specifically but on a wider note i’m interested in exploring stories of othering & being othered.

also i’m hot x

Tabby Lamb @tabby.bsky.social · Jul 28

Tabby Lamb @tabby.bsky.social · Jul 24

overheard (in a thick brummy accent) in the toilet at the #ScissorSisters gig tonight: “I’ve used my husbands nose hair clippers tonight - gotta admit it!”

the news is hell and we live in hell but today i co-hosted a brunch for myself and 10 other trans girls, co-hosted and cooked by an amazing ally and it was so so so wholesome and magical and beautiful.

whilst we are fighting for our freedom, we must not forget what it is like to be free x

Tabby Lamb @tabby.bsky.social · May 3

as my belly tattoo says: we *can* build our own heavens.

the fight is important but please remember find time for joy, find time to giggle, find time to love yourself and your community.

i am so fucking embarrassed!

There was even text on the photo that said ‘come watch these boys get DRILLED’

🙈🙈🙈🙈

Tabby Lamb @tabby.bsky.social · Apr 12

i had to scroll past a bunch of pictures from this T Boy Gogo competition called DRILLED, and i accidentally clicked one of those photos & sent my PT a picture of 15 half naked trans mascs humping the stage instead of a picture of my back

Tabby Lamb @tabby.bsky.social · Apr 12

now i took my progress photos a few days ago, because that’s when they were due, this means i had to scroll through a few pictures before i got to my progress photos

Tabby Lamb @tabby.bsky.social · Apr 12

the app my PT uses for the progress though, is kinda janky - it does what it needs to, but you only get one option to upload your pictures… once it’s uploaded you can’t delete the pictures

Tabby Lamb @tabby.bsky.social · Apr 12

guys the worst thing has happened: so i’m on a gross weightloss journey so the NHS will let me get bottom surgery and i have a PT who i have to send progress photos to each week right? so far so normal.

Jojo Siwa and Patsy Palmer? i’m not saying i’m obsessed… but i am! #bigbrother

I wrote about my relationship to The Glass Menagerie, and how own interpretation of it as an autistic trans woman after seeing @theyardtheatre.bsky.social’s amazing production:

the glass timeline: a transfem reading of the glass menagerie

in which i distract myself from a burning world with an old play.

The Glass Menagerie at @theyardtheatre.bsky.social is fucking beautiful - think i’m
gonna need to write more over on substack because it was my first revisit of my favourite play since transitioning and my god it hits so much harder when you stop identifying with Tom and become Laura…

Three more months. Minimum.

I am not a man trapped in a woman's body; I am a man trapped in a system that is actively denying me bodily autonomy.

i’m not saying i won’t end up
leaving the industry, but if i do i will no longer do so with shame. i can hold
my head up high and know i made an impact and my legacy will live on in all the queer writers who follow in my size 9 footprints.

Tabby Lamb @tabby.bsky.social · Mar 15

i’ve never made theatre for the establishment or for a traditional audience - but the work i have made has a life far bigger and far more impactful that i can even know.

Tabby Lamb @tabby.bsky.social · Mar 15

obviously this writer was speaking hyperbolically because what actually got their career going was hard work & talent, but it was a reminder of why i do what i do.
