Trans people are the wedge issue to tearing down article 8. Fascist: "We can't eradicate trans people while Article 8 exists" Public: "I hate tr*nnies. Who needs privacy and family life anyway? Tear it all down." Fascist (on a yacht): "I love it when a plan comes together."

Close-up, no-filter, no-make up selfies because I'm in my late 50s and.. still cute. Also, close up selfies can make your face look all weird and distorted with a "fish-eye" effect.

The biggest lie I was told by doctors and nurses during medical transition... They said "our vaginas (meaning the ones they create) don't self lubricate". The vagina they made for me clearly didn't get the memo. I got a little horny earlier and now I'm soaking through my underwear.

I didn't like this selfie when I took it while waiting for the bus home yesterday after Cambridge Pride, but I quite like it today so here it is.

Anti-trans narratives are anti-autonomy narratives. They are anti-woman to the core. They*need* to define women within the narrowest, inescapable parameters so that they can impose reduced rights and enforce behaviours. This is why they keep banging on about "sex-based rights".

My latest posts are about resilience and survival. Yeah, I'm impacted by trauma, and it influences who I am and how I am. Ardeni is who I had the potential to be. My female role model when I was 11. And, fuck me, she is still there in my head. Still surviving. Still hopeful.

CW sexual assault I've seen some discourse about sexual desire in trans women. It's something I think about a lot because I don't have any. But I used to. My desire changed with transition, but it was a thrilling journey to go on.

Ardeni is pain and rage and empathy and love. She is Ishtar and Inanna. She is the traumatised child with the power to turn the world to dust but she just smiles and holds out her hand. She has lived in my head since I was 11 years old, burying every darkness. She is the heart of me. I am Ardeni.

In my head, I don't look like this. Dysphoria has retreated inside where it still festers and whispers but it has no power over the reality that this is who I am. A selfie is a celebration.

It's been one of those days when I listen to Hi Ren and let myself cry. In a good way. And I go by many names also Some people know me as "hope" Some people know me as the voice that you hear When you loosen the noose on the rope
