To James Cain

Mate, we were never friends. We had literally one class together.


You went to my house one time to hear a score. Barbara and Phillip came one time each to do music rehearsals. When Lana was at the flat, you might have come to her birthday.

I didn't consider Barbara or Phillip as friends: I saw them as collaborators.


A friend is somebody that you do social things with, and also someone that helps you move. A collaborator is somebody that you do professional or creative things with, and they probably aren't friends.


Like, if you were my friends, you'd have emailed me instead of spying on me. -


So, yeah, that's my answer: Red Scare must leave me alone.

If you're finding it hard to come out, imagine how fucking hard it was for me to come out while you mocked me and called the police on me for singing?

Forgive me if I don't want to help you; you told me to detransition. You've got a support network, you've got the resources to pursue a medical transition, so stop moaning that I've spent 5 years out, and spent several years preparing in order to nail it. Like, to be blunt, Ahi was waiting to see if I'd survive. That's how I see you as well.
