london 07:00
when u discovered u were queer u were living in a tiny town where nothing queer ever happens for miles and miles around but then u heard of a magical place at the mouth of the river thames where everyone's on twitter in cafes and the party never ends they say there's gay clubs on every corner, they say the streets are paved with gold, they say that everyone's stylish and sexy and the people there don't grow old so get urself down to london where any queer can be a star; if you can survive in london everybody will know who u r cos everything happens in london all the queers are living in london it's not cool 2 live in the midlands because everything happens in london but once you've been there for half a year and ur feeling kinda down on luck, you may find that you start to consider that maybe london sorta kinda sucks because the rent is as high is the skyline and the landlord's a fucking jerk and everyone's on twitter in cafes because they just can't seem to find work and people say that pride is a protest, but it's really just a corporate wank; you march and you shout politely between the arms dealers and the investment banks so get urself down to london, london's as good as you get; you'll be safe living in london under the watchful eye of the met cos everything happens in london... there's a hole in the world like a great black pit and it's filled with people who are filled with shit and the vermin of the world inhabit it; that's london there's solidarity in misery and misery loves company and we'll all live together in poverty in london

all of the world is a stage to you and all that you are is a song all of your doctors are watching you and hoping you sing the tune wrong so sing your pitiful heart out, darling, try to keep it in key sing the words that you practised, darling, maybe you'll fool them maybe you'll make them agree [doc: Maybe you do identify with certain stereotypes of the female gender role, but that doesn't make you a woman.] [doc: When did this idea first occur to you?] [doc: It's a medical matter, it isn't a personal choice. I like to be informed.] [doc: If you can demonstrate to me that you can live in society and pass as a female, be accepted as a female, then I may be able to refer you to a surgeon.] [doc: And if you don't like that, well then you must find another doctor.] [julia: well i think it's very unfair that one person should have the right after only, sort of, half and hour's chat, three-quarters of an hour's chat, to make a decision on a person's life] in your drowning you'll find your tune the dance they'd never teach to you and in the wake of a thousand stars you'll be the nightmare they dream you are

rainbow list 03:22
you see her on the tv, in the papers on the shelves she says she speaks for you but she speaks only for herself she's the darling of the media, works with them weaving spells she's a product for the market and an expert at the sell and she's gonna make the rainbow list this year she's given sixty interviews, they love to hear her speak and she's learned a lot since she became an activist last week cos she's the primary authority on things you've known for years and she knows for certain she deserves the worship of your peers and she's gonna make the rainbow list this year the Liberal Gay Betray the Trans career cos she's telling everybody exactly what they want to hear
