In my ten year career i have been offered an opening slot for exactly one cis artist. would love the cis artists on this bill to show some meaningful support by booking us on their tours! I have a long lost of recommendations :p

feels a bit bizarre when the UK music industry isnt doing shit for trans artists, esp trans women. there's an incredibly vibrant scene underground but nobody is breaking through; still zero trans women outside of electronic music signed to merlin or larger labels

it took me finding real life trans community as an adult to stop basically living my entire life in an internet dissociation dopamine spiral but i guess that was the fault of the forums n had nothing at all to do with feeing profoundly alienated from my body n people around me

almost wonder if it was partially motivated by fear of the press n exposure that would have come with the election which tbh is kind of fair

totally perplexed by this decision. apart from it just feeling tactically and politically bizarre I was just so excited to have a historic shot at getting a trans woman into holyrood. classic perfect enemy of the good nonsense

do it! i always also worry about the overwhelm but when you get there nothing beats the magic of seeing ur trans siblings in their thousands

Including tunes from @rubierubie.bsky.social @jasmine4t.bsky.social @penelopetrappes.bsky.social @ezrafurman.bsky.social @katfive.bsky.social @leinsangster.bsky.social @kaputband.bsky.social & more!

It’s so exhausting. The amazing @hleehurley.substack.com tracks media reporting on trans issues the UK. His data really highlight how the mainstream press are constantly banging on about trans folk. For example, in February there were NINETY-NINE articles about trans people—an average of 3.5 a day.

I don't want to hear any more mumbling queers performatively distancing themselves from the thing they are demanding my attention for, while taking yet more of my time to do the performative distancing!

yes hate this. its very 2000s I think. straight people recently realised trying is cool and they're right

love these!

bigtime. we also really need better chants
