What’s it feel like to be transgender

Feels like your shoes are on the wrong feet. You’ve always been dressed that way, from birth. Every time you’ve complained about your feet hurting, everyone tells you that you’re fine, “don’t be silly”. You put some shoes on the right way, and it feels great, a huge relief, but you know that everyone thinks …

Why cant you be yourself?

Why can't you be yourself? Be unique? Why does everybody think that we need to conform? To all be the same? To be drones? To all look the same? Dress the same? To even think the same way? Surely one of the main things about being human is that we are all individuals, then if, …

My crazy follower

I’ve had a crazy follower this past few weeks. Someone I met on a night out and instantly regretted saying “Hiya” too but have struggled to get rid of! Let me tell you about it. I was out in Manchester with a few friends on what would have been the Pride 2020 weekend, when this …

All you do is play!

Some people have commented to me in the past couple of days that all I do is play, all I do is go in to Manchester and get drunk. Well unless you know the backstory to my life then firstly "sod off" and secondly "it's none of your business, so sod off!". Thirdly you only …
