Elphaba: “I hope you’re proud how you would grovel in submission to feed your own ambition”.

This is very much something that comes across from trans-exclusionary LGB individuals (Glinda). Showing their disdain publicly to the TQIA+ section of the community, to look good for right wing leaders.

Glinda: “you’ve hurt your cause forever, I hope you think you’re clever”.

I’ve seen multiple posts online from LGB individuals blaming the “extreme left” within the LGBT+ community for pushing the actions of the extreme right. (Victim blaming at its finest).

Glinda on the other hand. She represents the #LGB crowd. She sees the struggle, but she sees the power in following the Wizard and Morrible. (The wizard being a controversial and charismatic leader who has gathered a large amount of ill-informed followers- we know who this is).

Elphaba turns down an offer that would make her life dreams a reality. She stands up for the animals. She herself is not an animal but sees their struggle and their silence. Elphaba is like a gay/bi person who is not #trans but stands up for trans people.

Been thinking about #wicked. Particularly #defyinggravity and its relevance to current LGBT+ and the #LGB debate. I’m going to start with Elphaba. A thread.

Gym before a 90-‘minute drive home at 6 in the evening 🏋️

Productive day at Uni, learning about Acceptance Commitment Therapy and learning to allow yourself to feel negative emotions, not constantly trying to fix things and put a positive spin on everything. Very insightful and relevant. #counselling #pluralism #student 📚

Who else is constantly angry just now? The world feels like it’s in flames, and things like genocide and ethnic cleansing are parts of stories and videos we just scroll past. Transphobia and homophobia are in every comment on just about any video, and anger towards immigrants seems to getting worse.

Been doodling some tattoo designs the past few days, since getting my last one! Very excited for more; my pain threshold and bank balance are,however, not. #tattoo #merman #solarsystem #lgbtidentity

16 vs 32. Still taking bedroom selfies

I found a USB pen tonight with photos on it from 2009. I was about 15/16 here and not 12.

First gym session after the new tattoo 💪 🪴

Happiest I’ve been with my body recently and it’s not came from thinness, denying myself anything or counting calories. Making sure to eat at meal times, snack if I’m hungry, and keeping active and focussing on muscle building and cardio 💪 #fitness #bodypositivity

If you think about it, British people got what they wanted with #Brexit. We love queues, now whenever we enter and leave the EU we get to join long queues. It’s fantastic. 🇪🇺 #makebritaingreatagain

Lazy (x3) Sundays. It’s 1pm. #sunday #lazy #labrador

Afternoon Edinburgh 😍

Good morning #Glasgow

Hey, Ever heard of Narrative Therapy? Literally teaches people to separate feelings and emotions (and give them a name/character) from one’s self. Grandma sounds cool and smart

Sleepy 💤

Tell me you’re from #Scotland without telling me you’re from Scotland. I’ll go first. The locals. #highlandcows

Half a gym session done! 💪

Have loved HAY furniture for a while now, but on a recent trip to #copenhagen we have decided on this chair to add to our living room #interiordesign #decor #scandi
