I recognised the parody of womanhood that is donned; a parody that feels safer than realism. I recognised the shaming of femaleness; an outward projection of one's own inner shame. I even recognised the risky behaviour, because terrifying as it is, some part of you longs for the world to call you out, unmask you, see who you truly are.

My female colleagues would mumble darkly that every time they were in a meeting with this boss, they'd be asked to make the teas and coffees and take notes, rather than being treated on an equal footing with the men. The boss was a cis woman. 10/

@Tattie One thing that struck me about the photo that circulated was that it's a photo of someone who's afraid to own a wig 😢
