London Mets "L" Logo in pride colours. Baseball feet with rainbow laces
I'll be playing in the π³οΈβπQueer Baseball Fundraiser Gamesπ³οΈββ§οΈ with my baseball club the London Mets - 19th July. 12pm in Finsbury Park London. Join us! Watch me flounce around the pitch πβΎβ¨
I'm watching the Parliamentary debate about the self-ID e-petition and my JAW IS ON THE FLOOR.
The MPs speaking are hitting ALL the key pro-trans talking points:
- transphobic bias in EHRC
- nightmare of SC ruling
- toilet bans are awful
- must hear trans voices
- IGLA rainbow map

I'm glad you liked them! They do kinda look like space rocks! πππͺ¨
This was such a lovely and wholesome day! Thanks for having me @discobooks.bsky.social π©΅π€π©· #π³οΈββ§οΈ
Shae sat in a green shirt smirking at the camera. They have black short curly hair. To their left is a flat reclined tuxedo cat with his head upside down looking funny.

We believe the Supreme Court β which disgracefully refused to hear from trans people before its decision last week β has placed the UK in breach of its obligations under the Human Rights Act.
So weβre readying a challenge β join us:

Screenshot of the comments section on Instagram of my reel talking about the UK ruling. A user with a round white face, a bob haircut with fringe and a big smile on her face with the name "@numpty.zh" writes "Are you living in an alternate reality? Common sense prevailed, clear as night is night and day is day. It's one or the other, get therapy and pull yourself together. You are a MAN and no amount of you thinking otherwise changes that." You can see the reel here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DIhAXmgsRrW/?igsh=MTR5eGFiOG9nbW9lMQ==
I often get these comments. TERFS tell me Im a man bc they think I'm a transwoman. I want to find it affirming in genderfuckery, but it's indicative of the rising hate transwomen face. The UK ruling has implications for ALL trans people, but the hate will be directed at transwomen esp Black & POC
He is my heart.

Shae and Audrey stand in front of the TRANSCESTRY exhibit building at Lethaby Gallery near kings Cross in London. It's a brick building and above our heads is the entrance which says in lime green block letters TRANSCESTRY 10 YEARS OF THE MUSEUM OF TRANSOLOGY. Shae is light skinned, smiling and is in front on the right with sparkly teal sun glasses, purple shirt curly hair wearing a black baseball cap and a pink bandana round their neck. Audrey is light skinned with ear length brown hair and a cute fringe, wearing round blue sunglasses, blue and pink crystal earrings and a lilac jumper. She is holding a coffee and smiling.
Trancestry: 10 years of the Museum of Transology is on at Kings Cross til 11 May. Super accessibility friendly & such a beautifully curated space full of history & culture. A testament to how important our stories are esp now as our human rights continue to be in jeopardy. @hex.ooo #trans

A light skinned hand holds a bright sugar cookie made of rainbow swirl colours with a big bite out so you can see what it looks like.
Made these super gay cookies for a friend's birthday (Baking beautiful treats for people is my love language). No they are not Lush Bath bombs π although there is one that looks similar. It would be a very tragic mistake if it were.

PSA: trans people are incredibly smart, charming and funny. We're also principled, creative and talented. Please hire trans people. Trans people will give you brand sex appeal. Trans people ward away tooth decay. Trans people are preferred by 9 out of 10 cats.
Trans Day of Visibility π³οΈββ§οΈ - It's exhausting being trans right now. Check in on your friends, ask to hang, play games, walk, wholesome stuff. We don't want our identity to be all of who we are. Its just a part of us. We just want to live healthily & happily. That's the real trans agenda. #TDOV
A poster at the Genesis Cinema in London, for the film flow, showing the title in big white handwritten letters over an adorable black cat sitting on the edge of a boat with floods of water, greenery and city scape in the background.
Saw Flow yesterday, and it was really so beautiful. I prepped myself for it by reading spoilers because I am not good with animals in distress. But the themes of friendship, survival, grief, care and dogs just being idiots really shone through. Very Ghibli-esque. Well deserving of all the awards.
Shae sits on a zoom call in a lilac jumper and matching short curly purple, pink, blue bisexual hair. Shae has blue eyes and light skin, but the top of their nose and mouth are obscured by none other than Taco Greg's long pointy tail. Taco Greg is a stripey tabby cat who is walking across the screen disrupting Shane's point.
Me trying to express a serious point to a therapy client.
Catholic father Sweet FA drag, stands in a black suit and puffy blond wig and glasses holding a microphone telling jokes. They are on stage in front of a palastinian flag and a hand sewn banner that says DRAG DOWN THE BORDERS
Dark skinned drag artist in beautiful butterfly eyeshadow in pink and blue (trans colours) lip sinks with their hands rising. They are wearing a puffy tulle sleeveless dress and black fingerless gloves. They have a big silver chain around their neck, a black bandana over their bleach blonde short afro. They stand in front of the palastinian flag
A person stands wth their hands up at their sides in a questioning motion. Their face is painted blue and white with a pink nose to reselble a shark and they Ave "blub" written on each cheek. They are wearing a shark costume where the mouth opens up to show their face. It's very cute and funny.
Gorgeous and special night at Drag Down The Borders. Inspiring to be in a community of grassroots organisers and to witness and partake in so much queer joy and activism!
Today my 8YO started telling me excitedly about βnon-berryβ people. She informed me:
- itβs wrong to call them βheβ or βsheβ because they use them/they pronouns
- Theyβre not boys or girls
- They have a flag and itβs gray and purple and yellow and white
- they all believe in ghosts
I was happy to contribute as an "expert" to this article for @verywellmindset.bsky.social on responsive desire. Check it out (even if the image is naff...): www.verywellmind.com/i-thought-my...
Edweena, a tortoiseshell cat, looks very grumpy as she sits on me. Her arms are even folded, as she glares. But she's sitting on me which means she's happy to see me when I'm away.
She's so cross with me for being away π
This elderly man showed up to support an anti-trans bill in my home state and then, because he had to wait hours to testify, he was stuck listening to queer folks rally against it
By the time it was his turn to speak, he'd changed his mind
Never doubt that speaking out can change hearts and minds
Shae stands wearing a stripey zebra blue button up shirt over a black tank with an orca on it, and a baseball hat and blue sparkly sun glasses between Popeye the Sailor, sporting a pipe and white shirt and hat, and his arch nemesis, the fake bearded Bluto with blue braces and a comically short tie, and a white shirt and blue sailors cap. All three flexing their biceps for the camera.
Met Popeye and Bluto at Popeye's Village in Malta (it's the set from the 1980s film with Robin Williams and it's so fun and really dedicated to the details!). Clearly I eat more spinach than them though...
Two cocktails in stem glasses, one pink with a Marilyn Monroe design on top, the other white with a Salvador dali melting clock!
There's not much overt queer culture here but there are signs. #Malta
A balcony with patio chairs and table overlooking the Mediterranean Sea in Malta. A bunch of boats in the marina and the classic limestone buildings of Valetta in the background
Hi Malta! Where are my queers???? #Malta #queerMalta
A purple lilac background with bright yellow text that says "OUT OF OFFICE" 8 times "UNTIL 17 MARCH" in white once. A cute illustration overlays it of a yellow androgynous enby on a flip phone with a non-binary earring symbol has speech bubbles saying "SOUNDS GAY IM IN!"
Edweena, my naughty tortie cat, with big yellow eyes sits upright inside my blue suitcase looking hopefully at the camera. Hoping I'll take her to Malta with me, even though we all know she would hate travelling.
I'm doing my best to work on getting more rest and joy. So, I won't be responding to emails or messages until I'm back. I will be posting a few updates though!
Find some little moments for yourself to enjoy your own company and do something just for you. #restisresistance
OUT OF OFFICE ON! But it goes to everyone's spam anyway, so not like it matters so much because no one will see it. (@porkbun.com). Anyways, after 2 years, finally a holibob!
A tall cardboard box with a square and circle hole one above the other carved in. Both about 3 inches. Pippy, my tuxedo cat, peers through the square hole making a funny playful face.
Chateau de Pippy is in the works. Here he is testing out the side windows. (and biting them too like the menace he is)
Very cool!
Black text on a light purple background with yellow leopard spots says: "Gender is a construct so go construct your gender. Might as well have fun doing it!"
My gender is made out of Lego, what about you?
