    This is why transphobic comments infuriate me. A This is why transphobic comments infuriate me. As a person who doesn’t always fit into binary gender, the idea that people “can tell” when they see a trans person is terrifying. Because if you don’t believe it when someone discloses their gender identity, you’re suggesting that you know them better than they know themselves - and you’re suggesting that you’re entitled to their genitalia in order to prove it. If you’re so afraid of trans people that you want proof of my genitals, who’s actually creating the unsafe space here?
    Have you ever heard of the three finger rule? It’ Have you ever heard of the three finger rule? It’s a costume trick to make sure you don’t flash. And you know your outfit has good coverage when you don’t even flash in a Mini Spatch / Half Cock! I just got my first ever Captivating Kini and I’m so excited by how well the diamond cut moves with your body. It’s really impressive to design a one size fit that actually fits! ______ I’m currently tweaking THE POLE SHEBANG for my upcoming Sydney/Melbourne tour and wondering if this diamond slingshot could unlock one of my favourite scenes…
    💎 Diamond split is another one of these tricks tha 💎 Diamond split is another one of these tricks that I never bothered to work on because I thought my bottom knee would never not be in the way. I have knees that are the exact opposite of hyper extension - they don’t actually ever fully extend. This is great for running & jumping, but aesthetically it’s confounding that I ended up as a dancer. So instead, I flexed the hell out of my foot to get my knee out of the way and channeled all those the @polekadotruby Diamond Split vibes And then I had the audacity to start describing the @sherry_schberry Spatchcock transition lol ____ We’ve only got 6 weeks of Flexy Strong Friday shenanigans left before I go on tour for THE POLE SHEBANG at @sydneyfringe so you gotta get in for some unhinged tricks before I go!
    Fringe Festivals can be pretty scary. They’re a hu Fringe Festivals can be pretty scary. They’re a huge risk - financially, of course, but also physically, mentally, emotionally… especially when you’re getting onstage alone for an hour, with the hope that your story will make people feel laughter, joy, and celebration. So you bring a pole as well, just in case… Tickets for THE POLE SHEBANG at @sydneyfringe are on sale now! ____ What’s a Fringe Festival? Thank you for asking! It’s a non-curated alternative theatre festival that happens in cites all over the world - including Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide (and more) - meaning there is no juried selection process and indie artists (like me) can just go hire a venue and put on a show! It’s an exciting opportunity to see lots of experimental, non-traditional, and sometimes completely unhinged live performance, so be sure to see as much as you can while it’s in town! Love Sailor Moon, Tuxedo Steve, & @faouzia
