Hello Canal,
I've been MIA as it's school holidays here in Oz and we've been on a mini-break. I wanted to say hello properly and why I'm here. I'm just going to type, to see where it goes. Am also happy to answer questions too.
When Jack first appeared on the scene, I was sad to read about how hard she had it. The pictures of her looking miserable, SB being wheeled out for photos, the missing father, the list went on.
I was a bit ambivalent about it all, she was someone I followed on twitter, but that was about it. When she decided to become they and start on testosterone, I started following her closer, as I am also gender fluid and knew how hard it was to be one thing, but visually present in another way.
I sent some money over PayPal, and joined Patreon; because as a business model for artists, it works, providing artists deliver from their end. The kickstarter for the book too, I ordered two, requested one to be donated to my old senior school. Still not received either.
At the time; my partner and I were struggling financially, so I stopped paying. I then randomly received the aforementioned sh!t-house onion in April 2020 and the other three postcards. Which must have crossed over between me cancelling my subscription and Jack pulling her finger out of her arse to Do. Something.
I hadn't really kept track of what I'd sent over until I found you lot, (via Sali Hughes), started lurking and reading my way through. Then, I went back and was horrified to find it was just over £600. Needless to say, I feel stupid.
I came off twitter in the middle of the pandemic, as the stupidity of people was driving me mad. When AM published her article, I rejoined in August to cheer her on and be another voice in the crowd of 'It happened to me too. As I believed some of the BS and gave her the benefit of the doubt too often.'
Some things never added up:
Lastly, I'm sharing this with you, not so you can laugh at me - although I'm sure some of you will. I'm sharing this with you to show that the tide is turning.

- I remember looking at the mirror tiles in the kitchen thinking, 'You can't be that skint, none of the 'breadline' housing where I'm from has anything nice in it'. It's all functional. Then we got told that as she's renting, she didn't choose them etc.
- Moving miles away from SB's school.
- The illness(es) and miracle cures of honey and vinegar.
- The alcoholism, but being absolutely vicious on twitter to anyone faintly contradicting each her.
- The endless dragging furniture around, while being too sick to move.
- Why her family apparently did nothing to help her.
- Why the father of SB did apparently nothing to help her.
- Why the fricking hell she veers from 'LOOK AT ME!, LOOK AT ME!' to 'LEAVE ME ALONE, I just want to live a small life. I'm so mentally damaged, but can't shut the hell up.'
