With all the very depressing crap that is going on right now, I wasn't going to take a selfie, never mind post one.
Just not in the frame of mind for it.
But fuck the begrudging bigots - I *will* still be me.
The uk ruling may not affect me directly (yet), but I still feel it - as I do the crap in the US.
The US I can easily avoid - the UK less so, but I will be thinking long and hard before I travel there.
CW for eye contact
@IsabelB lovely to see you! 
I hope you have a fab day.
And yeah, things here suck somewhat, but I'm not dealing with this alone
Glad to hear it - nor me....
Thanks for sticking it to the system by continuing to live your best life!
That top is fabulous!
@IsabelB Really hoping we in Canada can hold the line. The election is coming soon. Advance polls are packed. I'm hoping for the right outcome. As always, delighted to see you.
Yes, indeed, hopefully things turn out well in Canada - it feels like it should, but nevertheless 
@IsabelB you are beautiful and so is your identity and your existence xx
Thank you so much, Niamh! 
@IsabelB Don't be afraid in UK. There's a tiny handful who like to hate minorities of any sort. You're a lovely woman and always will be
Easy to say, John...
I'm not in the least afraid of most of the people, but if the system is against me, I do take note.
It's really about risk and why would I take the risk of entering a country with abusive policies?
What if I were stopped for some minor, or no, infringement?
I will travel to the UK still, but I will have to be more attentive and careful.
The UK is now an uncomfortable place to be...
Whereas the US is a complete no...
@IsabelB I feel sad for you. The system isn’t autocratic though and most people are welcoming
@IsabelB I feel very similarly. I haven't been posting pictures and whatnot for same kind reason, just can't feel up to it, etc. I'm sorry you're feeling the same way. 
. But you're looking fabulous as always!
Thank you! 
Yes, it's hard not to let it all infiltrate our lives.
I hadn't expected to post anything today, my heart wasn't in it, but then a moment of 'sod it, I need to be me!'
@IsabelB Keep being you. The news is grim, there is a trans rights rally being held near me tomorrow, hoping I can get along.
Looking fabulous in green, you really suit that
Can never have too many hugs!
@IsabelB I am sending mental hugs to all trans women. As someone who used to me married to a trans woman, this verdict upset me deeply
@IsabelB gorgeous and bright as ever. keep being you, lovely.
Thank you so much!
@IsabelB be you, and be glorious! (As always) 
Thank you, Jen!
@IsabelB looking gorgeous as always, hun x
Thank you!
@IsabelB Are you going to the demo in London tomorrow, Isabel? X
If I were over there, most likely, but I'm in Ireland, and have no passport at the moment!
(I've applied for Irish one and had to send in UK one as evidence)
@IsabelB I shall shout for you x
Because of the common travel area, in theory, no, but in practice, yes, post brexit.
Flying, always.
Ferrying, sometimes.
You look as fabulous as always...I'm so sorry about the court ruling 
It's insane, cruel, and badly thought through 
Hugs and love to you and all our trans friends 
Thank you so much
