It’s Trans Day of Visibility. This year, I made a pact with myself to dig deep, knuckle down with my inky pen, keep writing whatever the conditions - It’s a dirty job etc - And to keep supporting other writers, activists & artists. This is a challenging time for everyone in the community. Globally.
But we’ll always be here.
We’ve always been here.
We won’t be erased.
A big up to Trans In The City for creating this list. Happy to rub shoulders with these sterling folk. See you soon for a hug & a cock / mock tail.
🫂🍸🍸🫂
(The Trans and Non-Binary Changemakers List shines a spotlight on & celebrates the individuals making a meaningful difference within the trans and non-binary community - those driving change, building inclusive spaces and supporting others across business, not-for-profits and grassroots organisations throughout the UK)

Thank you wonderful humans for all your birthday wishes + love. It was a mainly a slow Dalston one with Tasha P + cocktails + Gaviscon lol.
Before, I’d been in Marseilles with the kids + grandkids. Carmen’s bday is the 20th, mine is the 25th. She turned 1, I turned 59. She had the gurgles + gave them to me - Merci! Luckily, she’s Taurus + the bomb (impossible not to forgive). In 17 years we’ll celebrate in style when we switch up her bottle for champagne. Looking forward to the decades rolling out. What’s age but a pesky numero? (And collagen powder, glucosamine and chrondoitin and cold liver oil).
Also, it’s been lesbian visibility week and it’s lesbian visibility day today. Also, it’s been non-binary parents day. Lesbians are butches + nbs + grand dandies too. I’ve been busy scribing The Butch Femme Book - soaking up some of your stories. But hope to see all of you soon.
In the meantime, vote Green, smash the rise of the far sh*t*, and fr33 pal3stin3 xxx
