If being a woman is about how you dress and wear make-up, I don’t fall into that category. I only wear skirts or dresses to weddings, funerals, job interviews etc. Same with makeup. I don’t have my nails done and don’t feel the need to perfectly do my hair on a daily basis. 1/
I don’t feel the need to fulfill society’s interpretation of what a woman looks or acts like. If you don’t like me, you can fuck off. I’m not changing for anyone. I wear trousers, I don’t wear makeup, I get dirty cleaning out my kitchen and bathroom pipes, I don’t mind getting 2/
Covered in grease and oil doing stuff on cars. I fit kitchens, I fit laminate, I fit wet wall, I do plumbing, I do electrics, I paint and wallpaper and rehang doors. I can’t do these things in a dress and heels. Actually I could do them in dress and heels, but 3/
Here’s the point; I don’t want to. I will never be a stepford wife. I have no interest in filling any man’s fantasy of being mollycoddled by his partner. You want a clean shirt? Go put the washing machine on. You want it ironed?, you better get the iron out yourself. 4/
I am so sick of this idea that’s still around that housework is women’s work. No. No it fucking isn’t. Housework is the job of everyone who lives in the house. And the “I’ll do the job badly or slowly so she gets annoyed and does it because you won’t”? Fuck off! 5/
You think we don’t know that’s what you’re doing? Get a grip. Grow up. And help your wives, gfs, partners. Stop being arseholes. Most of us work full time and do the lions share in the house. You think we’ve got the inclination or the energy to also meet you at the front door 6/
With a drink and a smile, perfectly done up to visually satisfy you? And before someone says “not all men” I fucking know NOT ALL MEN, but until these men stop acting like entitled little mummies boys, for whom women owe them a favour; we can’t move forward. 7/
We can’t have equality while there are men who think we’re getting above our stations, or we should be at home having babies, or we are no more than a dress and a pretty face. We can’t have equality while those, who have no intention of transitioning, declare they are women. 8/
When you remove what it is to be a woman, you make us a joke. You deny our biological right to be recognised. You diminish our worth and make us an outfit to be worn. You openly tell us we’re worth nothing, because anyone can be us. We have no value. We have no safety. 9/
It’s abuse; pure and simple. We women are used to being abused by a patriarchal society. We are used to men taking what they want and saying what they want and treating us however they want. Now they’re getting to strip us of, not only our dignity, ambition and rights, 10/
They are getting to strip us down to and empty dress and false eyelashes. They have made shells of our bodies and are creeping in, like parasites. I have never felt in danger for my own existence and that of my sister until now. I look at my transsexual sisters and wonder 11/
How can you stand this? I was born a woman. I didn’t have to see a counsellor and have parts of my body cut off and removed to make me one. If I had gone to all the trouble and jumped through all the hoops my transsexual sisters have; I’d be so angry. 12/
To me, the transgender movement is a huge “fuck you” to every transsexual who has gone though so much, to be who they want to be. And let’s get real. A lot of these people are not transgender, they are transvestites. 13/
They get horny wearing women’s clothes but still want to have sex with women. There is nothing wrong with being a transvestite. If that’s what gets you off and your partner is into it, who the fuck cares? Transvestite is not a dirty word, it is an extremely honest term. 14/
Wear what you want. Have sex with consensual partners. But don’t lie to yourself and the world. Don’t package yourself up and call yourself a woman or a man, when you’re not. My god, have some self respect. If you want to properly transition. Get the counselling. Do the work. 15/
Live your best life. But don’t lie. Don’t rush it. You are permanently altering your body and possibly making yourself infertile. Don’t rush that decision. Take your time. The world will be waiting for you. Don’t rush your kids and don’t let them rush themselves. 16/
No one has to have the answers right now. In fact, I’d be suspicious of anyone who said they had the answers. Life is hard. As hard as you think yours is, someone has it worse than you. You have control over your body, but be sensible, be careful. Some things once done.. 17/
Cannot be undone. If you’re gay, be gay. If you’re straight, be straight. If you like a bit of both, hey whatever. If you want to be transsexual, do it properly. If you love wearing clothes of the opposite sex, just do it. Who cares. Life’s too short. Just don’t lie. 18/
For a lot of people the goal is love. So love whoever can, consensually, love you back. But before you do that. Before you even consider that. Learn to love yourself. Love yourself as you are. Love yourself as you were. Because if you hate the baby that your parents 19/
Brought into the world. You’ll never really love yourself, and if you can’t love yourself, how can you expect anyone else to love you. Be amazing. Be yourself. But be honest and truthful. Live your best and love your best.
