Had my first pint of Timothy Taylor's Landlord last night in Edinburgh. What a solid cask ale. 

 

 

Just finished watching No Surrender. 

Decent enough show. 

Favourite things from the show included Joe Hendry ripping into Moose. 

Got to love PCO. For his age he's in incredible condition to do everything he does. 

Loved the Knockouts Title match. Although I was hoping for Masha Slamovich to win.

The Busted Open Radio live segment was odd however Bully had suckered Dreamer in again and the icing on the cake was dreamer taking a full coffee pot to the face. Not sure I actually want to see a match between the two. Will need to see how it pans out.

I am another one who loves Jeff Jarrett.

What a worker. 

I remember 12 years ago when TNA was touring and they were also doing Gut Check. They managed to work an angle with Jarrett and the now deceased Scottish wrestler Lionheart where Jeff cracked Lionheart with a guitar at the local wrestling school then left. 

This built towards the match at the Glasgow leg of the TNA UK tour. What a reaction Jeff got. He got super minster heel heat. I recall the match itself Jeff not having to do much but boy he worked the crowd something to make them boo him and cheer for the local guy. 

 

.

This week's Impact was pretty good.

 

How much of a scumbag is Bully Ray? Definitely need to get a match with Mickie. He was defo a creep around Masha Slamovich. I'm so intrigued by what she said back in Russian to Bully. 

Santino is annoying as an authority figure. Not really buying into it. 

Why is Tommy Dreamer still on TV. Please retire!

 

Thanks for your post!

Definitely a boundary breaking question I'm not willing to answer. Part of therapy is being able to set boundaries for yourself. This is one of them. Not everyone deserves an answer to a question. 

Anyone able to give me an abridged version of what's been going on in AEW to catch up to speed? Is it a worthwhile product to be watching?

Part of me has been put off AEW with the forced vibe of its the alternative to WWE and TK pushing it like look what we are doing. 

Willing to give things a chance. 

Never thought that lanky youngster Domink Mysterio would be my drawing superstar for 2023 on Raw. The whole thing with his dad has me gripped. The prison stuff is just the best. 

Cody is definitely milking this and going for it. He gives off big time star aura. 

You know this has been an emotional day reading this. 

Call it my wee hormonal self on estrogen. 

Again one of the great things since dad died and coming out and being on HRT is finally being my true emotional self. I cry a lot now but it's cathartic. 

This journey has not been easy. Being in therapy for such a long time at some stages has left me a wreck there's been all the accountability for past behaviours and having to go through intense pushing yourself to be better. 

On top of this I've got gender identity clinic appointments, blood tests, voice therapy appointments, laser hair removal for my body and face as well as a quarterly psychiatric consultant to do with other things outside of my transition.

I attempted to start my diagnosis of Austim and ADHD in 2021 but I realised Emily darling you got way too much on your plate. I ended up a burnt out mess. 

Im hoping to pick up the pieces and get that diagnosis sorted this year I've done a bunch of different online tests. I definitely do feel I'm ADHD for sure but I do have some autistic traits. It be nice to get those answers.

Ive got weight loss goal plans so whenever the day comes and I go for gender reassignment surgery I'm under the BMI for it. Just get to be under it then keep it there. 

These last few years have been the making of me. I'm going to realise my true potential and by my 40th birthday in 2025 I want to be that complete person.

 

 

Impact Wrestling eh?

Time to post in a forum about actual wrestling again?

Well Impact Wrestling has had a soft spot in my heart as being the alternative show. It's fallen in grace from the dizzying heights of TNA and the big names but it's in its lane and it's so much more enjoyable than anything else. 

Its simplistic booking. It's logical everything makes sense. Things have a good payoff. 

Josh Alexander is brilliant. Tommy Dreamer needs to disappear.

The women's division is my favourite out of all the brands. Impact Wrestling gives women a better platform to showcase themselves. Dangerous and intimidating Kelly Kelly and Masha Slamovich both impress me. The run on the last rodeo actually built up the knockouts title and became main event of a pay per view. 

 

So since I am in the Scottish craft beer community I'll throw in my two cents since the last 7 years.

I am still a Brewdog Equity Punk Shareholder. All the James Watt shenanigans last year or so has made me fall out of love with the company. The bar staff are lovely in the local Glasgow bars but they have a fanny of an owner same as Wether. 

 

It's also scary to see a lot of the smaller independent breweries going under and I fear it may happen up here in Scotland. 

Im working on a project saying craft beer is for everyone. These will be LGBTQIA+ beer meet ups in Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Perth, Paisley and St Andrews. 

My venues for Dundee, Glasgow, Perth and Paisley are confirmed with the last few being tied up in the coming weeks. Then I can finalise the dates.

No ticket just sign up on meetup website. 

 

Wanting to get myself to Manchester again soon to enjoy the beer scene there it's great. What's good since I was last there three years ago?

I'm not going into the details of my therapy in here. 

I am a completely different person to years ago. 

I have a proper job now. I'm officially a renter three years today. 

I lost my dad in 2017 to a heart attack. I had to accept I was indoctrinated into accepting his xenophobia and racism and go along with it or fear him. 

His death was the only reason I had the courage to come out. 

I had a lot of shame and guilt about having to be like him because if I didn't his alcoholic bigotry would mean he would get abusive with me. 

I've grown a lot and I even drink coffee in the Roma owned coffee shops in Glasgow southside. I even speak to the woman that sells The Big Issue back home where my mum lives outside the local COOP. 

 

Therapy and taking a daily regiment of estradiol and testosterone blocker coupled with therapy saved me from suicide.

 

I'm not the same person anymore. Tommyboi is dead. Emily lives and is a good person.

 

I am Emily. The photos are mine from my phone camera.

I figured out I was female in 2015. I spent so long in the closet questioning myself. 

In March of 2021 I finally came out. 

It's been such a journey to get here. 

I've had to go private as gender identity clinic services are so bad the waiting list times. I'm currently still waiting three years later on the NHS.

I legally became Emily and changed my name in August 2021. 

Im full time living as female as of August 2022. 

Im coming up for my first year on HRT as of the first week in March.

Ive been in therapy for nearly two years and I'm finally getting to solving a lot of past issues.

I feel so much happier about myself and having the estrogen replacement has certainly brought me to a much better place.

Emotional state wise the HRT process has been wild but I'm happier with my female emotional state. 

Body changes are slowly happening but I won't get the results I am expecting until 2025. 

Yeah so completely changed days from the old me. 

 

 

Former infamous poster and UKFF legend Dangerously420 has certainly a lot different these days. 

Some would know them as Tommyboi or MC Tommy from the Scottish wrestling scene but he is now she and she is Emily a  transgender woman. 

 

Certainly a glow up from the old guy he used to be.
