Happy New Year

I've always addressed the coming of the new year on Just Me.

Happy New Year J!

2018 was a mix of good and bad. More bad than good but not an exceptional year.

So good riddance. And here's welcoming 2019!

THIS YEAR IS GOING TO BE AMAZING! I HAVE NO DOUBT!!!

I LOVE WEARING HEELS!!!

I mean, women are lulled into believing they need to wear heels to feel/be/look/perceived to be sexy. And often, those who do succumb complain about it.
To me, do whatever, or in this case, wear whatever the hell you want but don't complain about it!
I love every single pain my five inch heels put me through and you know what, NO complaints!
Oh yea, I do drag occasionally!
:D
Sad thing is, I've kept my drag endeavours as "down-low" as I possibly can because I am from a family who'd probably be not just devastated but also disapprove of my drag. The approval I don't care so much for, it's the putting them through unnecessary emotional distress I don't want be responsible for.
Problem with that is I can't go around being sassy to women who complain about being in pain for wearing heels and that frustrates me to no end!
I am SORRY! (Yes, I'm projecting saying this out LOUD), but if I live in a world and belong to a family where it is acceptable to wear whatever the FUCK I FUCKING please I would never, and I mean NEVER complain about being in pain from wearing heels!

Oh, Happy New Year me.
Because I never know when I'd post on Just Me again and it may very well be 2019 before I do...

More Complaints

To think, in the country I live in, there are over half a million DOCUMENTED children born out of wedlock and the LGBT community is seen as a bigger problem.

AND

To think, in the country I live in, individuals as young as 13 can LEGALLY get married.

I Went Back

Today, I went back to the place where Just Me's biggest character entered its pages.

Funny enough, I dreamed of him just last night.

I went back to the room, although I couldn't enter because it was occupied.

Memories just gushed back. It was as if I never left.

But all I did was smile. Because all I remembered was the good things.

Good luck India

Section 377 is no more in India!

Brought tears to my eyes.
The nation whose long and colourful history has lived with transgender amongst them for hundreds of years, if not millennia.
Whose predominantly Hindu dominated plebeians are grossly unaware of the skewed truths foreign forces have led them to believe. 
Whose inevitable physical depiction of centuries old temple carvings makes no quandary that sexual and gender fluidity was not deviant.
Whose Gods have taken both male and female forms, then switched from male to female and female to male.


She has finally come around to reject the archaic law, set forth by the supremacist English ruling, 150 years ago!

GOOD LUCK INDIA!!!!!!!!!!

I WILL COME SEE YOU AND WHEN I AM THERE, I KNOW BEING MYSELF IS IN NO WAY A VIOLATION OF ANY LAWS OR NORMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why?

When you wonder how bad things are and how they can't possibly get any worse.

Everything is in a terrible state and just when you think things can't get worse, it just does.

WHY?

GOD!

WHY?

I Pray....

I scroll through Facebook these days only to look through discounts on my latest "drug" of choice. MAKEUP! All that I purchase, I've found outlets to put them to good use...
The absolutely outstanding thing about Facebook is how, as one scrolls through, startling discoveries are made in the form of status updates! People unwarily expose transphobia, homophobia, idiocy, bigotry, pretenses etc. Most of which has a simple solution, ignore or unfriend. EASY!
But occasionally a status update triggers a visceral feeling within me that I absolutely NEED to do something about it! Even if the person in question doesn't get it or even see it.

So this status update of a Facebook friend went something along the lines of...

I pray that my single friends find their significant others.

(this was written in Malay).

So, even if this friend never sees my status update, here's what I posted;

I pray for all my single friends to stay happy single and to never face that pesky relative always asking when they are getting married.

Hello Malaysia

When a certain politician started a movement to change Malaysia 20 years ago, I knew something was up but was too young to comprehend.
Dad was always supportive of him and his vision and I lived in a world where change was always necessary in terms of the country's politics.
Never in my 20 years of being in the know, with revelations upon revelations that grew that knowledge, would I ever have thought I'd live to see the day that Malaysians decide to turn it all around.
Malaysia holds the record for the longest running coalition party to govern a country, in the world, in terms of a democratic ruling. A ruling coalition that was toppled after 61 years! OVER half a century!!!
And not even a whole month in power and the current ruling party has made groundbreaking changes!
I am excited and slightly nervous...
Hello MALAYSIA!!! We are a nation reborn!

I Don't Want My Friendships to be....

.....just fleeting.

I have started making a conscious effort to keep in touch with my innermost circle of friends.

I have about 10 of them.

And they range from ultra straight to fluid, to gay AF! 

I still don't have a very close trans friend (digressing).

Friendship takes effort.

But you do it because you love them.

Sigh.... Straight People

If you're gay and reading this, doesn't it make you mad when straight people go...

"I wish I was gay. Life would be so easy to date a woman/man. They would just understand me better."

If you live in a country where being gay is widely accepted or if you just come from a family who's accepting then fine. I get the appeal.

But if you come from a country where being gay is illegal, and from a society that has a strong stigma towards what they think is "perversion" then your statement of wanting to be gay is so annoying!!! Especially if you're saying it to another gay person!

Think of it! Being gay is still WIDELY considered perversion! So, to me, it is annoying regardless.

Sigh straight people. Do you know how many gay people out there that wish they were straight just because life would be NORMAL....???? Forget simplicity, for many of us, all we crave is normalcy! Why do you think so many gay rights activist fight for gay marriage???
