And I played a tune or two.<br> So now my old car is working and is sound enough for local activities at least I have the freedom to do that. It may not get me what I want but it may help keep me sane. . I have gigs but only a handful. I do need to do more. So getting out locally will be a priority to try and meet people. <br><br>So I ask this question. In reality do people &#8216;See&#8217; transgender\/Ts people day to day or is their perception based on drag queens, pensioner trannies on a jolly at the seaside or purple haired non-binary people with multiple piercings and nose rings and so forth&#8230;<br><br>Re the Supreme Court Ruling: I suspect that as it will take a very long time to sort out proper proportionate legislate guidelines and advice and as several MPs have already taken a view on it, it may get pushed back as other matters will be deemed to be far more pressing and this may well be an advantage in maintaining the status quo to an extent in perhaps the same way that you generally don&#8217;t get a fine on a motorway at less than 82 mph even if caught on camera.  A couple of friends have fallen of my FB list since I posted pro-trans stuff. I expect I will lose a few more.<br><br>I hate the fact on some levels there is still &#8216;Passing privilege&#8217; but scaring the horses and upsetting the good citizens unduly I admit doesn&#8217;t work in helping to promote inclusion. If protest really did work all that bombing Palestinians in their homes and hospitals would have stopped by now.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"is-grid columns-2 has-authors wp-block-rss\"><li class='wp-block-rss__item'><div class='wp-block-rss__item-title'><a href='https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/dianastone\/remember-that-time-when-you'>Remember that time when you were cosmic<\/a><\/div><span class=\"wp-block-rss__item-author\">by Diana Stone<\/span><\/li><li class='wp-block-rss__item'><div class='wp-block-rss__item-title'><a href='https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/dianastone\/make-free-with-me'>Make Free With Me<\/a><\/div><span class=\"wp-block-rss__item-author\">by Diana Stone<\/span><\/li><li class='wp-block-rss__item'><div class='wp-block-rss__item-title'><a href='https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/dianastone\/maybe-faith-hope-and-charity'>Maybe Faith Hope and Charity<\/a><\/div><span class=\"wp-block-rss__item-author\">by Diana Stone<\/span><\/li><li class='wp-block-rss__item'><div class='wp-block-rss__item-title'><a href='https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/dianastone\/on-a-day-such-as-this-only'>On A Day Such As This Only Memories<\/a><\/div><span class=\"wp-block-rss__item-author\">by Diana Stone<\/span><\/li><li class='wp-block-rss__item'><div class='wp-block-rss__item-title'><a href='https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/dianastone\/marching-in-lines'>Marching In Lines<\/a><\/div><span class=\"wp-block-rss__item-author\">by Diana Stone<\/span><\/li><li class='wp-block-rss__item'><div class='wp-block-rss__item-title'><a href='https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/dianastone\/disappointments-and'>Disappointments and Distractions<\/a><\/div><span class=\"wp-block-rss__item-author\">by Diana Stone<\/span><\/li><li class='wp-block-rss__item'><div class='wp-block-rss__item-title'><a href='https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/dianastone\/interference-patterns'>Interference Patterns<\/a><\/div><span class=\"wp-block-rss__item-author\">by Diana Stone<\/span><\/li><li class='wp-block-rss__item'><div class='wp-block-rss__item-title'><a href='https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/dianastone\/false-dawns-illusion'>False Dawns Illusion<\/a><\/div><span class=\"wp-block-rss__item-author\">by Diana Stone<\/span><\/li><li class='wp-block-rss__item'><div class='wp-block-rss__item-title'><a href='https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/dianastone\/everything-scares-me-so'>Everything Scares Me So<\/a><\/div><span class=\"wp-block-rss__item-author\">by Diana Stone<\/span><\/li><li class='wp-block-rss__item'><div class='wp-block-rss__item-title'><a href='https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/dianastone\/not-home-yet'>Not Home Yet<\/a><\/div><span class=\"wp-block-rss__item-author\">by Diana Stone<\/span><\/li><li class='wp-block-rss__item'><div class='wp-block-rss__item-title'><a href='https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/dianastone\/big-sticking-plaster'>Big Sticking Plaster<\/a><\/div><span class=\"wp-block-rss__item-author\">by Diana Stone<\/span><\/li><li class='wp-block-rss__item'><div class='wp-block-rss__item-title'><a href='https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/dianastone\/and-i-always-loved-you'>And I Always Loved You<\/a><\/div><span class=\"wp-block-rss__item-author\">by Diana Stone<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Sunday at the Milton Earnest open mic I spoke to people I didn&#8217;t know and really enjoyed it.I am somewhat socially awkward it must be said but I managed.
