My twin brother

is also called Stephen. And yeah, he used to dominate me. Lots of people involved in my stuff were/are into kink. That's why my script hit close to home with both the young crowd and the older crowd that I'm friendly with in Wellington. I think people are surprisingly hung up on such things in a country where prostitution is decriminalised. Like, I've literally had people shout 'red light' from cars at me when I walk around after dark. I avoid the Golden Mile for the most part after dark. - For my kinky friends: you do realise that it's actually illegal to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation, right? So, next time that you're getting a hard time, say that. That's the freedom that I'm fighting for regarding gender expression. And no, I refuse to do any Tina-related things; I'm submitting to select committee. That's being a politician rather than a celebrity. 🏳️‍⚧️
