in thinking that the size of tasters or adverts for books are getting bigger - except mine of course and one or two others, and is this fair because it appears that one or two of them would take up half a page of broadsheet and certainly pretty well fill my screen as I scroll down them.

Perhaps I'm getting old and crabby, but it doesn't encourage me to want to post much at all.

Monday 14th July 1986 was a big day for me, I officially went into work as a woman for the first time, so it was effectively my transition/ RLT start, I suppose I haven't looked back since. I have also now lived most of my life as female.

I have just watched a DVD of the film 'Girl' by Lukas Dhont, with a phenomenal performance by Victor Polster as Lara a transsexual teenager who wants to be a ballerina. I found it moving, heart rending and uplifting and occasionally humorous. I don't want to spoil the plot but I do recommend you watch it.

It appears that there has been some controversy about it and using a CIS actor to play the main character, I think he plays it very sympathetically and authentically.

I have been busy with university but my module sort of finished a few days ago, I have to wait for the results to see what happens next. With this lock-down business, I feel like I've been in a strange place but I shall be returning to work for a couple of months before retiring altogether. In a way the lock-down has given me an insight to that and I'm quite looking forward to it. I was hoping to do all sorts of things to my house but the stocks and shares ISA I had is now much reduced so that's a bit of a pain.
