How can the politically-aware trans woman show what she thinks about the current situation? Answer: make a statement in what you wear. Here is my latest effort.



Yes, all of these are me, and all of them are Tory hate objects. I don't mix with the enemy so unfortunately I will not be able to wear this to their events and annoy them.

Speaking of politics, I saw some posters attached to bus stops in Manchester earlier this week. The one that caught my eye was by the Socialist Workers Party: Why Leon Trotsky matters today.



I am pleased to see that some people still care about ideological differences. The tension between Leninism, Trotskyism and Stalinism certainly dwarfs anything you find in modern British politics. George Orwell was sympathetic: Squealer (Trotsky) is in my view the real hero of Animal Farm.

It's fashionable to knock Britain but there's at least one thing we do better than the Americans. Our trans websites are less politically afraid than theirs. I was briefly a member of Crossdresser Heaven, in the same genre as Gender Society but based in the USA. I posted something on their forum which was sniffy about the Republicans and it was taken down by the moderators within minutes.
