so excited to be making this show - come see us on Sunday to raise money for London Trans+ Pride! www.outsavvy.com/event/26395/...

overheard (in a thick brummy accent) in the toilet at the #ScissorSisters gig tonight: “I’ve used my husbands nose hair clippers tonight - gotta admit it!”

the news is hell and we live in hell but today i co-hosted a brunch for myself and 10 other trans girls, co-hosted and cooked by an amazing ally and it was so so so wholesome and magical and beautiful.

I wrote about my relationship to The Glass Menagerie, and how own interpretation of it as an autistic trans woman after seeing @theyardtheatre.bsky.social’s amazing production: open.substack.com/pub/tabbylam...

i was gonna become a communist but then i watched a youtube video about north korean theme parks and they're all really shit.

The Glass Menagerie at @theyardtheatre.bsky.social is fucking beautiful - think i’m gonna need to write more over on substack because it was my first revisit of my favourite play since transitioning and my god it hits so much harder when you stop identifying with Tom and become Laura…

This week's Cruising The Internet round-up includes links to work, writing, & art by @leximcmenamin.bsky.social, @theabigailthorn.bsky.social, @tabby.bsky.social, @rubyrare.bsky.social, @tjalexandernyc.bsky.social, @shellyjayshore.bsky.social, and Marf Summers. www.genderbent.co.uk/will-writing...

I’ve had a year full of rejections so far, and i’ve really been questioning my place in this industry but today i got a voice note from a playwright i don’t know, whose brilliant play i had just seen - explaining how the show and their career was a direct result of a group i set up.

Very powerful, and very much a play of two halves, 'Otherland' at the Almeida Theatre ✍️ by Chris Bush, of 'Standing At The Sky's Edge' fame, features an all-female cast led by one of my stage faves, Jade Anouka with Fizz Sinclair. At heart romantic and inclusive, it also leans into myth and futurism

An INCREDIBLE piece of theatre. @chrisbushwrites.bsky.social is currently blowing the roof off the @almeida.co.uk with the play of the year. #otherland Pages 69-72 of this take the art of playwriting to a new height. Almeida once again excelling as the bravest and best programmer out there.

february is always an emotional month for me - it’s the anniversary of my marriage breaking down plus my birthday - on substack this week i’ve posted 2 essays exploring love, legacy & life as a trans woman and i’d love you to check them out substack.com/@tabbylamb

i’m looking for trans fem sound, set and/or costume designers working in british theatre. does anyone know of any??

The British Sociological Association @britsoci.bsky.social have removed replaced "gender" with "sex" in their member equality survey, and erased the "non-binary" response option entirely. Love to see the professional body of sociology echoing Donald Trump.

Our fundraiser gig for the Transfem Electrolysis Project is TOMORROW! Come on down to Mono if you're in or near Glasgow!

Ok this might be a little niche, but the newly announced next ALW musical is an adaptation of the movie The Illusionist - which has a separate adaptation opening in Japan this year that has been in development for many years.

I’m so good at finishing big projects and forgetting to post anything about them. This is one in a series of paintings I’ve done of people from trans history- this is 19th century trans actress Lavinia Edwards (who also sometimes went by Eliza). 🧵 about her life:

LEA SALONGA HAS A TRANS SON???? AND HES PLAYING JACK IN INTO THE WOODS??? AND SHES THE WITCH??? someone fly me to the philippines!!!

i’m in an r&d out of town this week, but i managed to get back to london last night to celebrate @painesplough.bsky.social and all they do. what an inspiring gala - here’s to the next 50 years!

shout out to @selfesteem.music-social.com.ap.brid.gy for having the first actually affordable pop girl on sale date in years

i trained my self out of posting my every internal thought as twitter was slowly dying… trying to remember how to shit post again as everything else is just to dark to even contemplate?

I need to sort out my sleep schedule - i currently sleep for 10-13 hours a night and even then i’m still exhausted and useless during the day times.

The new Regent’s park Open Air season is quite exciting but leaves me with 2 questions: - why do broadway shows that have starred transfems insist on casting cis women in london transfers? - why do the dominic cooke adaptation of naughts & crosses when the sabrina mahfouz version exists??

transsexual comedy show in DC in one week btw. they're calling it "the bravest thing anyone has ever done" and "a defining moment in us history." not me, other people. real ones. they're sayin that, about the show. @mattielubchansky.com @kasulke.co

Each month in my substack going forward i’d like to share links for other transfem’s living & surgery fundraisers please share links with me & ill include them going forward :)

i think one of the reasons het/straight trans women discourse keep popping up is that we're overfitting a very real very powerful social force to our specific experience of it, namely : The Body Of A Tranny Belongs To Everyone But Herself 🧵🧵🧵

This is EXACTLY what it’s like spending most of your life being called and treated like an offensive faggot and then having people who barely know you say “what would a straight girl know about being queer” after you transition. It looks like the same double-bind bigots put us in because it IS.

i had 3 disposable cameras that i used last year, and i finally got them all developed - only about 8/60 phones came out, but those that did i love so much. 2024 was a huge year for me - falling back in love with life & remembering who i was before the 💔

this week i decided just… not to be depressed, and it’s kinda working? like obviously i am still depressed, but by actively choosing not to focus on that, to focus on joy and friendships has really helped?

seeing as everyone’s loving trans folk & shouting in opposition to all the terrifying rhetoric coming out of the US currently - here’s your chance to prove it: are you a tv/film producer? i’m a trans writer w 2 unproduced shorts & a killer pilot script. DM me if you can help getting them made!

for the first issue of my substack i talked about my experiences at my first in person bottom surgery appointment. i’m gonna be documenting this process in prose & id love y’all to join me for the ride: tabbylamb.substack.com

Stop calling Freddie a “niggle” I stg #TheTraitors

Florida has fucked up priorities for a state with such low sea levels.

I say this to all my male followers with love in the same way I do with my family and friends - have those uncomfortable conversations with the men in your life. Don’t allow the casual misogyny in conversations. Challenge abusive behaviour. Do the work. It’s on you. It always has been.

Brian Jordan Alvarez made it big this fall with his FX series ​‘English Teacher.​’ He brought his friends along with him — except one, Jon Ebeling, who says that Alvarez assaulted him​ on the set of ‘Caleb Gallo.’ www.vulture.com/article/bria...

yey

there are so many amazing dramatic actors, why do streamers love to cast (amazing) comedy actors who can’t do drama? watching ray romano struggle through no good deed is just rough.

A lot of things suck in this lifetime, but I remember when the thought of this was incomprehensible. This is beautiful.

And they wonder why no one is upset when a health insurance ceo is murdered

today i waited 3 hours to be seen at my dentist - and this was after my last 3 appointments were cancelled en route.

My hope doesn't come from thinking things won't be as bad as we fear. My hope comes from the endless, unbreakable tenacity of trans people.
