So yeah okay I've got some time.

Most people dismiss Orwell because he was a snitch and a traitor who collaborated with the British government to kill communists and queers.

Did you also know he was a rapist? Probably not because it tends to get talked about like this (from The Orwell Society):

First, the relationship was considerably more erotic than Jacintha, (conceived, after all, under Queen Victoria) could confess in print. Second, Eric proposed marriage to Jacintha before leaving for Burma, and was wounded by her rejection. Third, in September 1921, Eric tried at least half-heartedly to rape her, which naturally drove a wedge between them. We need to reevaluate her “solution to the problem of his life” in the light of this new intelligence.

She admitted that she and Eric had later engaged in what used to be called “heavy petting” (“some intimacy but not full intercourse” was how she put it). Jacintha also wrote Eric at least two erotically suggestive poems, one imagining herself as his vampire lover, the other envisioning the two of them reincarnated: Eric as Sarasate, the gipsy virtuoso, and herself as his violin.xiii It can probably be assumed that Jacintha was sending Eric some confusingly mixed messages.

First Appointment

I had my first appointment with a specialist gender doctor yesterday. (Technically, with an aspiring clilical psychologist helping the practice with screening, appointment with doctor will be the second one). See my previous post about preparing for the appointment: A very good…

See my previous post about preparing for the appointment: A very good friend took me for a long walk and a chat beforehand, which helped clear my head and tire me out a little to stop me worrying - really appreciated.

i’ve said it a million times: if your LGBTQ inclusivity doesn’t consider the added struggles that come with the intersectionality of the black trans experience, it’s not actual inclusivity. ESPECIALLY right now.

Like *genuinely* the fact I don't have to guess how long it will be before they get back in touch for next appointment is *so important* for making me less anxious. I am so glad.

Meme with two purple and fishnet wearing cartoon goth girls. The text says goth girls, then "with boots" (taller cartoon) and "without boots" (shorter).

I have edited it to cross out the boots text and replace with "trans" (tall) and "cis" (short)
