It's so good

I really can't be trusted to be left alone with a freshly roasted chicken

Hehehe this was you!

This used to happen to me when I’d finish a nighttime run

Me when Alex came over on a whistle stop trip to wash my hair for me when I was first back home from dislocating my ankle.

I say this as a Strictly enjoyer, but funny how this happens but both Sharron Davies and Martina Navratilova are both BBC contributors and you should see their Twitter profiles, both just rotted with the worst transphobia. Funny how it works, isn’t it?

Aw love! You don't have to be perfect snd it's good that you both apologised ❤️❤️❤️

Alpha radiation is poison inside you Gamma breaks the skin. When I bite, While I hold you down, While I'm inside, I wonder what I am to you. How you'll categorize this poison Later; What radiation drives you back Inside the circle of my arms To beg for more.

Like, think about My Big Fat Greek Wedding as a contrast- our lead transitions from Crone to Virgin as the movie goes on, but she does so of her own volition at every step. There's time taken, and risk. She puts the effort in every day.

So like, yes, teen outcast, you CAN pursue art and be popular! But you can't be you-as-you-were in any way at all. You'll remember her! But you'll be someone new. That fantasy of the sudden butterfly transformation without any of the day in day out work it takes to change creates a disconnect

I think the story might frame it as a maturation into a social sphere, but the visual language is almost always of a completely different woman. All the marks of individuality are shorn away, and frequently glasses are removed; this character now sees things differently, say the images on screen

The BBC charter section 6.4: "...the BBC should accurately and authentically represent and portray the lives of the people of the United Kingdom today, and raise awareness of the different cultures and alternative viewpoints that make up its society"

Thinking about how every 90's teen movie that had a geeky girl get a makeover was about force transitioning her from crone to virgin without having to take any unappealing detours through whore or mother

I can't get over the blur. It's not enough to censor it, it has to be hidden that it was ever there at all? Like be transphobic with your whole chest at least, put a big black bar over it, put a ticker on the bottom that says "we have removed a pro-trans slogan from this contestant's t-shirt"

I don’t particularly like it when everyone references 1984 for mildly odd things but this one is a bit ministry of truth-y

This really is disgusting censorship from the BBC- it's specifically a slogan about defending trans women and even that is unacceptable to them? The only conclusion is that they see "trans women shouldn't be the targets of cruelty and violence" as an unacceptably radical position This sucks

The BBC censoring any mention of support for trans people is a sickening new low.

And a soft spot for you! ❤️
