. Starting my journey at 54. She/Her. HRT 22/03/2023. If you quote the Daily Mail, you've lost the debate.
I've received criticism because I discovered I was trans in my 50s, saying that I'm making it up.
Those people are wrong. I've always known I'm not male. Other people have always known I'm not male and victimised me for it.
I spent 50 years trying to conform.
Trans women are not:
* groomers
* paedos/pedos
* mentally ill
* predators
* autogynophiles
* perverts
* depraved
* misogynists
* the patriarchy
* aggressive
* attacking women's rights
* men
Please feel free to add more.
I'm not a Tory, and I will never vote tory. Regular followers probably know I hate the Tories.
I have a question.
If Labour don't offer a single policy that I agree with, why should I vote Labour.
We've just had a lovely pub lunch with my OH's completely non-judgemental friend and her husband.
The waitress called me madam. My cheeks are hurting. 😁😁
I'm so confused! There's an overwhelming consensus of world renowned scientists publishing evidence that climate change is caused by human activity, but Darren Grimes and Douglas Carswell both say that's rubbish.
Who am I to believe?
@OhMiaGod
Ha!
Three months after I started HRT my GP told me he thought my voice had changed.
My reply: No that's just the damage your continued failure to treat my acid reflux has caused.
A momentous day today.
Sunday roast at a pub with my OH. Not the first ever, but the first as Davina. No weirdness, just good food in relaxed surroundings.
Also, came out to the last 2 people who matter to me. I was worried, but shouldn't have been. My sister raised good kids.

The decision to stop destroying the planet could have been made decades ago but wasn't because people like you wanted more money.

That claim is debatable at best, as trans women are banned from elite sports in the female category.
Also you appear to have missed the IOC report on athletic performance.
The GC movement is trying to take away the rights of trans people to participate in society.
Did anyone else find Joanna Lumley lost her charm when she implicated herself in

@GillianKeel2
Yeah. None of those things are rights.
Also I'd happily accept not having to prefix my gender with trans to appease women who object to being prefixed with c¡s.
Oops, I appear to have inadvertently retweeted a tweet suggesting that the LGB Alliance is an anti-trans hate group with ties to American white supremacists.
How on earth did that happen.
Some people are thinking that the LGB Alliance are an anti trans hate group with ties to American white supremacist organisations.
I hope no one tweets that LGB Alliance are an anti trans hate group with ties to American white supremacist organisations.
@ZombyWoof4
They have admitted that this will be challenged in court. It seems to rely on them declaring the entry to the UK illegal, but we already know it isn't.
I smell a dead cat.
@johnredwood
John. You closed the gas storage to allow a privatised corporation to make bigger profits.
Privatised corporations are selling all the gas we produce on the international market... to countries who are storing it for winter.
This is all your fault and fracking will not help.
@OhMiaGod
Can I just say that I'm not entirely unhappy with my voice.
Phone scammers persistently correctly gender me.
The psychiatrist who referred me for surgery actually stopped the interview to tell me my voice was female.
@helenwa65751230
You haven't lost the right to female spaces.
You don't *have* to admit trans women into women's sports teams. That's a choice made by the team as a whole.
To the inevitable haters: I have been surrounded throughout my life by people who's sole pleasure in life was to make me unhappy. You will not succeed either. All you have achieved is to prove how inadequate you are. You are, and always will be irrelevant.

That Mumsnet account is truly deranged and dangerous. It's stalking a vulnerable trans girl in hospital with severe asthma, and relentlessly attacking practically every post.
I'd seriously consider blocking it.
@DavinaQueeen
Which one believes that a man can become a woman? How good is it at cooking AGP? Will it take your sexual fetish into account and refuse to cook sausages and only freshly cracked eggs? Does it turn itself on?
@StephanieJaneG6
It's weird isn't it. They've achieved total victory, and yet we all still exist, living our best authentic lives.
It's lmost like they have no impact on reality.
JK Rowling stayed within the law, probably using the advice of her very expensive lawyers to make sure she didn't cross the line.
Her supporters don't have that advantage.
Like all cult leaders she is happy for her followers to be the martyrs she isn't willing to become.
@Chris_English_1
But your assertion is based on the belief that trans women are inherently a threat.
Which is no different to banning lesbians or black women because you believe them to be a threat.

Not really the whole story, though, is it? Most maximize the profit on those goods and services to the detriment of those they exploit.
Beautiful people, I'm crying again.
Today my OH visited her parents to tell them about me (because breaking up needs a reason). Expected anger and rejection.
She came home with a message of love and, if not support, one of understanding.
I'm completely blown away.
So... people who think I scare women and girls please note.
A little girl in Sainsbury's in Warlingham just said IN A VERY LOUD VOICE...
"Mummy I love that lady's hair."
I'm the only other person in the aisle.
I turned to look. Mum and daughter are beaming at me.
Good morning Lovelies. It seems I missed the Friday selfie. This was my attempt at the Ukrainian flag.
I've not looked at the news today as it's too depressing. Has our country sanctioned any more oligarchs yet?

@nicktolhurst
They'll have to learn. It's the price of sovereignty.
as is:
* higher prices
* food/medicine shortages
* mass unemployment
* reduced protection against terrorism
* increased unskilled migration from developing nations.
* energy shortages
* loss of access to Galileo GPS platform
I've started on the gin
For me, tonight doesn't just mark the beginning of an exciting new phase in my life. It's also time for me to reflect on what I will lose.
So, no NYE selfie. No elaborate makeup. No resolution
Just thank you all for everything. I literally love you all!
@johnredwood
Liz allowed the UK's main gas storage facility to close to make bigger profits for Centrica.
Now you're saying Liz will allow the gas producers to sell more of our gas reserves on the international market at massive profits.
Why won't Liz do anything to help the population?
@REDBALLOON_1
Well, there was that time she verbally attacked the manager of a women's football team simply for being a transgender woman in a role often filled by men.
@helenwa65751230
No. He criticised a senior politician who baselessly attacks trans people, using her position to stoke hatred against us, at the very time she's using identity politics to get reelected.
Amazing week!
Finally "completed" counselling. Fully comfortable with who I am, and moving forward.
Started HRT.
Electrolysis on both nipples/areolas (not enjoyable, but amazing results).

@kateb5505
For the record, if I wanted a pile on I would have linked to the reply so people could find it.
I only retweeted it in a reply which suggested it might be fake.
There are lots of replies laughing at the stupidity of Kate's reply but not really that many in Kate's mentions.
@unamadremas21
You have merely suppressed her personality while she is under your control. She will realise how deeply you've damaged her when she becomes an adult.
Speaking from personal experience here.
Conversion therapy does not work.
@bpcmd1
Actually I take that back. Yes we are talking about TERFs rights.
TERFs are campaigning for the right to exclude trans women from society.
They will never succeed.
