Now why did I start bursting into tears 🥹
There are versions of ourselves
we are only meant to inhabit
until we have outgrown them.
And then,
there is the becoming. 🪻
Six and a half weeks ago,
I surrendered a face I had known my entire life
to make room for one I had only ever imagined.
She is still arriving.
Beneath the swelling,
beneath the tenderness,
beneath all that time has yet to reveal,
I catch glimpses of her.
Last night,
beneath pink and violet light,
over 200 souls gathered
to witness one of them. 💗💜
Not a final form.
Not a finished portrait.
Simply the first unveiling.
There is something sacred
about allowing yourself to be witnessed
while you are still becoming.
So remember this face,
but do not become too attached to her.
Time is still sculpting.
Healing is still speaking.
And I am still unfolding.
What you saw last night
was not the destination.
It was the first bloom
of something I have been becoming
for a very long time. 🪻
AJA THE KWEEN.
Reintroduced,
but not yet fully revealed. 💜

While it appears that the government has successfully pushed back on some particularly harmful elements in the previous draft, the new Code of Practice will still lead to the exclusion of trans people from services and facilities that they have used without issue for a very long time.
This will do nothing to improve women’s lives and the many struggles we face, but it will put trans people (and anyone perceived as trans) at increased risk of discrimination, harassment and violence. The Code unfortunately still represents the culmination of years of anti-trans campaigning from a small, well-funded minority who have had outsized influence in the media and in politics, and have weaponised the courts for their own ends.
The legal situation for trans people is now deeply incoherent and means that it is untenable for them to be able live their lives with dignity. This is completely out of line with the values of equality that a Labour government is meant to champion. Instead of making this Code statutory, the government should be legislating to clarify and protect trans people’s rights, privacy and inclusion.

Nida Manzoor is such a strong voice for South Asian women! I’m a huge fan of all her work. Love her brilliant feminist action-comedy film POLITE SOCIETY and the insanely clever series WE ARE LADY PARTS-created, written and directed by her. We don’t talk about her enough, sadly.

This victory does not belong to me alone. It is a new page in the story of asian drag excellence.
Today the world has witnessed that Thai artists carry brilliance, creativity, and a spirit as powerful as any in the world. This crown and scepter are not merely symbols of triumph, they are a tribute to the beauty of our art, our culture, and every Thai artist who dares to dream beyond borders.
To anyone who is holding onto a dream, believe in it with all your heart. Dreams are never as distant as they seem. Today proves that our dreams can be as big as the world itself.
🇹🇭

The girl from Hulme has just won a @BAFTA for best Supporting Actress.
Wunmi Mosaku sang in Manchester Girls Choir and studied at Trinity CofE High School then Xaverian College.
Proof that a girl from a Manchester estate can follow her dreams and make it.
Congratulations 👏
Congratulations to Wunmi Mosaku who wins the BAFTA for Supporting Actress in Sinners ✨ #EEBAFTAs @WarnerBrosUK

Gosh the right-wingers are really mad that I was in drag on BBC’s The Finish Line…so annoyed that they haven’t even noticed I won the £5k prize money for @rainbowmigrants, a charity that supports LGBTQ+ migrants coming to the UK. 💖🙏

So many bad-faith attacks on Zack Polanski.
His own partner works in palliative care!
About a third of carers are migrants.
Among other things, Labour has banned them from bringing their partners and kids here.
Labour pretending to care about them is nauseating.
My amazing boyfriend (can you tell I'm proud of him?) lost his father last year.
Inspired by the hospice who gave him loving care - he now works in palliative care himself.
He's doing a run with all the money going to @StJoHospice.

Gonna say it a fucking again!
SICK of people saying they want old UK back. We ALL do. WE want same day GP appointments, ambulances within mins, dentists, good education, affordable food, clean water ways; guess TF what? It’s not migrants who caused this. It’s 14 YEARS of Tory austerity! It’s capitalist GREED.
Being a trans dude in a dress so transphobes will always use your correct pronouns. Kinda genius actually.

Zack Polanski and Judi Love on The Last Leg
ZP, "These are tricky decisions for people in poverty, disabled, unemployed. When are there going to be tricky decisions for multimillionaires and billionaires. And actually tax the rich"
JL, "Show me a man that's come on live TV to get some votes.. I want the truth, nothing but the truth"
Adam Hills, "With Labour, Reform UK and the Tories all attacking the disabled, how would The Greens do things differently?"
ZP, "Nothing about us without us. Disabled people should be at the centre of the policy about disabled people. Better housing, better transport, its better for everyone including disabled people"
GK Barry, "Who would you cast as climate change in a movie?"
ZP, "Nigel Farage, he's full of hot air"
Adam Hills, "Why is The Green party against nuclear energy"
ZP, "Sizewell C has taken 27 years to build, it's like creating the fax machine right now. We need to invest in renewable, wind and solar"
Adam Hills, "Young people feel disconnected from politics"
ZP, "Stop saying we're inspired by young people, let's help them get into positions of power, invest in young people, give them the resources, confidence and skills, to represent themselves"
Adam Hills, "Green party stance on NATO?"
ZP, "Trump is an unreliable ally. He wants to annex Greenland. I want peace and diplomacy working with our European neighbours"
Adam Hills, "Do penguins have knees?"
ZP, "If they choose to, however they identify"
Adam Hills, "Has Zack ever smoked green, if so was it organic?"
ZP, "We need to legalise and regulate, we shouldn't be putting people in prison for cannabis"
Alex Brooker, "You said you could make women's boobs bigger through hypnotherapy.. You apologised.. How are you with hands?"
ZP, "It's funny because in the green room you were talking about other body parts"
Adam Hills, "Your thoughts on COP30?"
ZP, "We need to show global leadership. We've got a Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, who says he wants the greenest government ever, but he's still drilling for oil and gas, opening new airports. We also need to recognise that the global south, and countries like Jamaica that have just suffered a hurricane, we have a contribution to that. We need to be taxing the fossil fuel companies. And keep fossil fuels in the ground"
JL, "They should be teaching children how to spot a fake politician"
ZP, "Rachel Reeves did a course called PPE, as did Jeremy Hunt, and Ed Balls. I think we need to rename it as P*ss Poor Economics"
*I have friends who read PPE at Oxford, thankfully they're far more literate than Reeves*
Adam Hills, "People compare you to Mamdani"
ZP, "What people get wrong with Zohran, is that it's not just the social media, it's the message: lowering bills, taxing billionaires and making a city everyone can afford to live in. I want to make a country we can all afford to live in"
JL, "Wow.. He's got the chat, hasn't he. Damm brother, where are you from, the south?"
ZP & JL groove 🕺💃 👏
