House rewiring complete.
Apparently not much need for electricity in 1960.
Extension cables going free to a good home.

Today is Trans Day of Remembrance.
Sending love and solidarity to all trans+ people and those who have lost a trans+ loved one through violence or state oppression and neglect.
And a special thought for those who will have taken their lives without ever disclosing their trans identity.

Happy Halloween
Four of Alice’s lovely friends came round on Wednesday and we carved pumpkins for her.
Alice had no idea how much she meant to people. How much we all loved her. How much we still do.

Healthwatch is DHSC funded. It talks to people about their healthcare needs to inform best practise. Its July ‘25 report on improving LGBTQ+ healthcare seemed ok, then I found a disturbing line.
Falkner and the EHRC did this. It’s not normal to accept so casually that some people have lesser rights.

GCs doing their thing, being utter ghouls about the suicide of a young trans person. Claiming a lack of news coverage as a victory for their cause.
Alice’s death got coverage because my family sought press attention to highlight the appalling state of trans healthcare.
As for saturation coverage…

This conversation is fascinating on understanding dehumanisation/ monstering which is framed around race, obvious examples the holocaust and slavery, but very applicable to TERF rhetoric and GC ideology.
The screenshots may whet your appetite, but read it all for the more thought provoking stuff.

This was a big surprise in my inbox today.
I think the idea here is for me to encourage you to head to www.transinthecity.co.uk/awards and nominate me too.
If you want to that would be nice.

I am trying really hard to empathise with Boyne, I am sure he has had a bad week.
But I’d ask him to reflect on his own words:
“There's really only so much abuse one person can take”.
Gender critical people are some of the most abusive people I have ever encountered.

When his office replied I actually posted on Instagram that it was ‘nice’ 🤦♀️
It was just after EHRC interim guidelines had been published, the words ‘dignity and respect’ were being bandied about meaninglessly. On reflection, their absence in the letter was such a relief it took my eye off the ball.

This is Alice. A child the GCs call ‘mentally ill, perverted, dangerous, a monster’.
She wasn’t a monster. She was beautiful. Yet, when she first came out I believed some of the GC bullshit, had ‘reasonable concerns’ about grooming, regret. I lost sight of her truth.
I’ll never forgive myself.

Thanks for all the lovely messages.
The anniversary was a bit shit. Enforced celebrations can be that way now. Celebrating because it’s expected but feeling sad, then feeling shittier because we didn’t have fun.
In better news, the cloud has lifted today. I have a new tattoo. Details in alt text.

A huge thank you to @roseschmits.bsky.social
My tentacle pot is finally unwrapped (what a nerve wracking ten minutes that was) and on display.
It is even more beautiful than I hoped.
Today I’m feeling its running away energy, deep and strong. The sea is calling, Peter and I are off to the beach.

In other news, today I’ve been married to Peter for 30 years.
A happy day. I’d had my dress made in NZ, naively hoping for a winter wedding upon our return. We took an August cancellation. I wanted to cut off my sleeves, but resisted that inevitable disaster. Peter in 3 piece suit faired worse.

Such an honour and privilege to speak, as a white, cis, gender-conforming person, at Trans+ Pride 2025.
The safety I feel in this space is so healing. I will keep speaking out against those that work to prevent you feeling or being safe in a cis world.
Hopefully some video footage to follow.

I don’t see him here because he’s on a blocklist I’m subscribed to. On X he also shows his GC allegiances.

On way home from @transsolidarity.bsky.social mass lobby in Westminster. Queued 4 hours with my husband, Alice’s dad, to green card my MP, who we knew was unavailable , but waited 90minutes in case a member of her team would come and talk to us. My message: keep the gender police out of our toilets.
