Can I just clarify, when I say I’m self identifying as a 70 year old I only mean the fun bits of what I inagine being 70 is like. Not any of the tedious and annoying bits.
I’d like my state pension, bus pass, cheaper cinema ticket etc and to win all the races I enter, smashing all the age graded records and taking medals from cis 70 year olds.
Maybe I will write a blog for other elite sports people, telling them about my struggles and how much harder it has been for me to succeed than for them. I could win an award for my bravery .
When I shop in asda I will wear my 70 year old stripper outfit and scream “Bigot “ at the checkout operator when she looks at me like this
.
I will demand that pregnant women and disabled people give up their seat from me on the bus to validate my feelz.
And I’ll be obnoxious to all cis 70 year olds for triggering me by their very existence.
I will lecture my cis next door neighbour ( who is a carer for her 93 year old mother) on how the hardest part of being 70 is having to shop in Per Una.
