Some photos from the mountains yesterday 🖼️

  1. Apparently women of the genus trans have shoulders, who knew it? 🤷🏻‍♀️

  2. If Blur had been a transfem led band "Coffee and TV" would have been "Wine and HRT" 🥂💊

  3. You need to try Papas Arrugadas con Mojos Recipe ("Canary Islands Wrinkled Potatoes with Dips"). Trust me on this... 🥔

This is my first real vacation in years, thanks to the simply amazing @IsabelB

Well, folks, you only have another couple of weeks to decide...

🎶 🎶
"Will you still need me?
Will you still feed me?"
🎶 🎶

In the meantime, I'm feeding myself coffee and a particularly delicious cake made from toasted almonds, lemon and chocolate - it's delicious! 😋

I hope you're all having a good day too 😊

Continued thread

And to add some #transvisibility from antiquity today: did you know the story of Megillos from Dialogues of the Hetaerae by Lucian of Samosata? Strap in!

In dialogue no 5 the hetaira Leaina speaks to her (female) friend Klonarion about a female client who hired her. Klonarion wants to know all the gossip:

"How did she seduce you, in the first place? And how was it that you let Megilla have her way with you? And what came after? Tell me everything, please!"

Spotted this empty wheelchair at Saturday's Trans Rights Rally at Independence Mall. Whether intentional or not, it's a pretty powerful statement.

If you believe in the First Amendment right to Freedom of Expression, you will stand up and fight for the right of our trans and nonbinary siblings to express themselves freely without fear of persecution or worse - death.

If you call yourself an ally to the trans community, it is important for you to stand up and fight for the right of our most vulnerable siblings to exist.

The time is now!

Sending love to all my Trans family and friends on this Transgender Day of Visibility ...and every other day of the year. Whether you're out yet or not, you are loved. 🫂

I keep taking photos and selfies, so I might as well share them!
The never ending saga of Isabel 🤦‍♀️

The restaurant last night was right on the beach and we went for the paella, which was delicious! 😋

Then this morning, we're out having a coffee before investigating the local beach...

Enjoy your day, folks ☺️

More holiday snaps!
Yesterday in the pink dress, then the view from the sushi restaurant we went to last night, and then now, in the bardot dress.

Another lovely sunny day and around 22°C, so a lazy morning lounging in the sun and now out for coffee and wine!

Enjoy your own days, folks, as best you can...

It’s been two years of Emily’s journey with TRUK and our personal lives followed by the TRUK film crew and it’s now a short film 🤩. It’s has been an absolute honour to give our time to this fantastic project and to be followed by a crew of LGBTQ people and massive allies we knew we were in safe hands. They have done an exceptional job of telling this story, it’s honest, beautiful and joyful. We are going to be away from next week and will be helping to promote the film for a couple of weeks. A huge thank you to my oldest two kids for holding things down at home while we do this, I couldn’t do this without their help. I’ve now got to put ALOT in place to manage my mental health to be able to have the energy and strength to do this. There are a lot of unknowns I’m going to have to navigate and it’s a lot of advocacy for us both. I also have Emily’s safety and education to manage so I need to ensure I have the resources for that. If any of you can help towards expenses for this it would be a massive help as with all trans advocacy it’s self funded paypal.me/Emmsywillo
I truly believe in this project it is a beautiful, powerful and joyful film if I didn’t believe it can change things I wouldn’t put us through all of this. I believe this film is a much needed breath of fresh air and I can’t wait for you all to see it.
There are still tickets for this viewing if you are in the London area genesiscinema.co.uk/event/9647

Yes, yet another selfie!
But the light is so good sitting here in the window seat, I couldn't resist! 🤷‍♀️

Another lovely sunny, cool day - that sun always lifts the spirits a little, and, let's face it, we need all the help we can get...

Wishing you all a good-as-can-be day! 😊

It's coffee time yet again!

A beautiful sunny day, if chilly at about 8°C, but it's lovely in here with the sun coming in through the window! 🙂

Somewhat less glam when I was cutting the grass yesterday evening for the first time this year - but I forgot to take a selfie 🤦‍♀️ I'll try to remember next time...!

Btw, the necklace was my Mam's, bought in Denmark for her by my Dad in the 1960s or 70s.

Enjoy your days as best you can, folks 😊

My little effort to counter trans erasure - if you identify as a trans person, would like to be photographed, and are in or can get to Vancouver, I'd like to offer you a shoot at no cost. Up to you whether clothed / nude and whether it's released (release = permission to publish). Chat me to discuss.

Two coffee selfies today - one from yesterday (pink dress) and today in the green dress.

That pattern on the neckline of the green dress is actually a shadow cast by the light directly above me...

The sun is out and I'm enjoying my coffee and some splendid company 😊

I hope you're all enjoying yourselves, whatever you're up to...

It's Saturday coffee time, the sun is shining and so it's a day for a bright flowery dress!

Already been for a walk in the sun, so feel we've earned the scone we're currently munching!

No plans for the rest of the day, yet, but that will change!

Whatever you're up to, wherever you are, have as good a day as you can...

Just watching the twelfth Doctor. They made a big deal out of him being old. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They've had old Doctors, young Doctors, flamboyantly dressed Doctors, a woman, a Black man... The one constant is that they're all from the British Isles.

It's time to shake things up. I think they need an older Canadian Trans woman as the next Doctor. 🏳️‍⚧️

It would make perfect sense. Who else is better at having years of experience playing a part in an unfamiliar skin, only to regenerate into a new, wonderful being?
