Celebrity

Just delivered to Chris browns house and I got a $1 tip smh

And I don't mean the SNL bit. I'm talkin real deal

My friend who worked for Comic Relief once invited me to a fundraiser where a bunch of celebrities were going to be. I was 18 and so excited, not least because I desperately wanted to work for Comic Relief one day.

After the show, I walked up to my friend who was chatting with Lenny Henry and said hi.

He ignored me. Literally looked down his nose at me whilst giving me a disgusted look.

I stood next to my friend for a minute or so, feeling a little sad, then to my surprise Dawn French came over. I was so excited to see her. But before I was able to say hi…she stood on my foot whilst glaring at me. She knew what she was doing. It was so fucking weird and I didn’t know what to do so just froze. At one point I remember saying “sorry you’re on my foot” - still, she gave me such an evil glare, locking eyes for what seemed like an eternity, and refused to move.

So I stood there for ages in so much pain as I was wearing open toe sandals. To this day, I don’t know why she did it. Lenny was also giving me dirty stares. It’s like my mere presence disgusted them both. It was devastating tbh - because I’d loved them both so much growing up. I was just a kid, shy, quiet, my friend even introduced me as I was dreaming about working for comic relief back then.

Anyways, what’s your weird story?

I don’t know if anyone else has noticed but this discourse literally always revolves around white feminine women (it took months for people to stop arguing about Renee Raap being bi after she came out as a lesbian for example) but I don’t ever see it around WOC queer artists? Kehlani came out as a lesbian,while having public relations with men and women and there isn’t this constant discourse around her(I’m not saying she’s not a lesbian she absolutely is I’m just using her as a point of reference I love her she’s my fav). People will be like “insert artist name” is bi because they make music about men or had a relationship once despite them being out as lesbian or never confirming being bisexual but this seems to only refer to white women. I guess what I’m trying to convey is it seems there’s an argument about “this white woman is bi rep despite not being bi” that doesn’t apply to WOC (specifically black women) or that the bi rep that isn’t white rarely even gets acknowledged?? I would guess it has a lot to do with the masculinization of Black women and women of color and of lesbians and how this can be interlinked in queer women.

Edit : just realized I posted this from my alt account by accident. I'm tired underslept and feeling all giddy, yet making mistakes So I apologize if I need more karma or something.

I just started dating someone who is a close relative of one of my favorite "famous " people growing up . By famous I mean, in the niche circles I was in this guy is pretty big .

He is everything you'd think someone related to such a cool chill dude would be like .

I'm about 1.5 weeks post srs. He's just super awesome and not chasery at all. Not creepy, he says he's demi and likes to take things slow and form an emotional connection amd he's seeking a life partner. Definitely not remotely transphobic . Just good positive vibes all around.

He's very respectful and understanding of the fact I just had surgery. No weird intrusive questions or anything , and really wants to get to know me on a deeper level, he even said that he's willing to come hang out with me by my bedside and have a takeout date , but assured me that he understands if I need space to recover and is willing to wait because he likes me, as in what's inside emotionaly , not my body or whatever parts I have . It's so unbelievably special and apparently he's close friends with a couple members of some reggae bands that I like and grew up listening to .

He's just so kind and embodies love in a very unusual way that is hard to find these days , especially in a cis heterosexual man who's a bit older than me (but not creepily so... ugh I feel old admitting that he's in my dating range now :/ )

Anyone else have experience with this?

Ironically my extended family who I barely talk to now is kind of famous but nothing cool or Interesting that I'd tell people. I've been on the receiving end of this 2nd degree mildly famous vibe on dates and It's probably more awkward for me then them when I eventually do tell them.

Edit : Also btw interestingly enough now that I'm post op when I tell people I'm trans and post op the answer is usually "thank you for telling me and being forward about it, but in the end I'm a straight dude and I like women. It doesn't matter what parts they've got ,i like women , I just Want her to be happy with her body and that's all that matters . "

Times are changing for the better and these fetishizing times we've all been used to are going away . I knew this already as being pre op I never had anyone reject me for being trans , if anything I'm just picky and rejected them . I got SRS because I needed to , and I had dysphoria that needed remedying .
