I've decided to go by Ashley, a Bi, NB Trans Woman. It suits my gender identity better and has the added advantage of of being both a boy and girl name for 'those occasions'. Don't get me wrong, I'm a trans woman and wish I could have transitioned in my teens, but here we are (see earlier post).

Mr partner is essentially retiring from full time work today. To mark the occasion I've baked her a chocolate cake, #Glutenfree of course. I'll let you know what it tastes like later.

The recipe is here 👇

I went shopping this morning for the last bits I need for Christmas at a local shopping centre. If I ever needed a reminder how traumatising shopping in person is, this was it.

Nothing in the logical place, out of stock items, just don't sell it.

No wonder the high street is dying.

I tried to bake these 👇 today. The pastry came out OK, but the crumble was a disaster and I appear to have the pastry case a little too thick in places.

I seem to be able to bake a cake, but anything with pastry is a bit lacking. I need more practice.

It is totally #Glutenfree.

Definitely one to keep and make again.

I'll be doing more of her recipes and my breadmaker bread recipe comes from this blog.

The UK Puberty Blockers trial isn't the best, and I suspect it will be loaded in favour of the ban in the UK, but it's currently the only way to get the ban overturned and to treat trans kids.

The trial should be stopped, but also the PB ban should also be removed.

On the 10th day of Christmas my true love gave to me: 10 lords-a-leaping, 9 ladies dancing, 8 maids-a-milking, 7 swans-a-swimming, 6 geese-a-laying, 5 GOLD RINGS, 4 calling birds, 3 French hens, 2 turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree. Lord landed on a French hen; feathers everywhere.

"biological male who identifies as a woman".

I'm only going to say this once.

FUCK THE BBC!

If I could cancel my TV licence I would.

Considering the level of abuse, and getting jail time (suspended), why doesn't the same criteria apply to anti trans posts that are as abusive, if not worse?

How to buy yourself a needy malignant narcissist? Just offer him a phony, made up "Peace Prize" & he's all your's!!!
No need for a formal ceremony as he'll snatch from the box & put it on all by himself. Both laughably pathetic AND pathetically laughable. 🤡 🫣
