Amanda changed her name, because she believes she's a woman.

Whether I can dance or not isn't the point. This post is for all the lot of people who reckon if I performed live I'd stop being trans. 🤬


That's untrue. I identify this way, and I sing like a girl. The two are linked but they are separate. I'm not a drag act. That's the real point: I'm different, and that's part of my charm. But I do not want to perform live. I'm not Alex or Gareth. I'm a totally different person, and I have a gender dysphoria diagnosis because I believe the title statement of this post. I'm really trans; people have to really let me be part of their lives to discover that. Any other opinions are just gossip, while people who really walk the streets with me usually call me Amy. -


I genuinely would rather work with tape than perform live. I do not want to, I do not have to, and if you like my tapes then let's work out how to make that viable.


I'm not compromising. I'm upset and depressed that I felt like the opera wasn't a welcoming place.


I'm not a stage person. I really dislike the centre of attention-ness that comes with my outfits. I thought it'd be natural, but people have opinions.

I do not want to perform for people who would cross the street to avoid me irl. That's why I use Facebook.


As for the EP: why would people think that was about Chloe? I was thinking of Meesh + Evie when I recorded Machine Fatigue. But that's also fine.


It's not that I don't have real feelings. My character is mean, but that's because I genuinely feel those and I'm really a bratty shit.


I think all of you are shit for these 2+ years of surveillance. I'm not changing my mind. That's why you lot should call me: I have my number published. ⚧️

I'm not gonna go to uni. Fuck that.


And I don't want to make the show that way. Though I'd love to make the show.


But not if it involves the uni, because I have my beef. That's fair.
