2/ Forgot that I looked like I had been dug up, got in some much needed exercise and turned my day around. Treated my skin to a much needed face mask and slipped into my PJ’s.
I’m far from being 100% but I’m better than I felt this morning. Sometimes the littlest of actions can turn around a lousy

1/ It’s never too late to restart and salvage your day and sanity. After a grim and overwhelming start to my morning that consisted of way too many tears, wise words from my people pulled my out of my funk. I went for a swim with my lovely @keirakilgallen_ to hold my hand.

Emma Williams @emanemz.bsky.social · Sep 5

Thank you. Hugs are always good xx

3/ Thankfully I have a few anchors to keep my sanity in place and to my anchors you truly have my heart always.
Like me this process will be emotional and messy but hopefully worth it. I am going to do my best to embrace the journey I’m on, even the hard parts. #becomingme #change

2/Change is hard but also beautiful and I am finally in the process of becoming me, the true me. Which I’m finding can be quite the lonely road, I’m someone that struggles with change even when it’s best for me. The unknown is very scary and there are so many things in my life to adjust and fix.

Emma Williams @emanemz.bsky.social · Sep 5

1/ My life has changed to the point I don’t recognise it at all or even sometimes myself, is it a good or bad thing? Only time will tell.
I needed this reset day in my favourite place with my favourite people to try and ground and calm my nervous system.

As people invoke free speech while discussing Graham Linehan, please remember that the person he is screaming this at, from a very close distance, is a child.

How did I create such a stunning young lady 🥰. #transkidsdeservetothrive

The greatest joy?
Realizing the little girl you once carried now carries herself with strength, kindness and grace.

He was very good in person with his trans fans too. Growing up going to SF cons, I met many trans people before I even knew what trans meant. I gave my parents very little they needed to accept in their child, so they had lots left over for everyone else. 😉 www.thepinknews.com/2021/08/06/t...

The very least I can do xx

Emma Williams @emanemz.bsky.social · Aug 19

It’s disgraceful x

Emma Williams @emanemz.bsky.social · Aug 19

I’m so truly sorry you are having to experience this xx

It’s still exceptionally painful for her and banning trans women protects no one.

This cis woman supports trans rights!!!

Me. With purple hair worn down holding a flag pole in a rainbow holster. Holding a sign in blue and pink with cis women support trans rights written on it. Wearing a pink tee

Emma Williams @emanemz.bsky.social · Jul 24

Cis allies, especially cis women let’s do everything we can to bin transphobia. There are some really awful people out there using us as a reason to take away trans rights. Don’t let them use you!! We need to stand up and fight back. Protest, write to your MP and make a stand. #bintransphobia

Backdrop of images of footballers and wording we’ll go down in history. Emma wearing a multicolour dress Emily wearing a black top and blue shorts. The words bin transphobia across them.

When a picture tells a million emotions.
From tomorrow, which is the day before her birthday, my daughter is banned from football by the FA just because of who she is. Her heart is still in pieces.

Falling to the floor in tears at my very last match, thanks the FA banning me from the sport I love, my sanctuary I can’t truly be just me. from tomorrow the day before my birthday I am officially banned from playing football and I am still as broken now as I was in my last match with Liverpool feds youth I think this image shows just how much my heart is broken, more than any words that I could possibly express.
