Welcome to thread 5. A virtual prize for anyone who can guess the geeky sci fi reference in the thread title.

This is a support area for women who are, or have been, in unhappy relationships with male partners who are transitioning, or exploring their "gender identity"

If you are in that position-

  1. You are not alone
  2. It is not a situation that you should be expected to tolerate, let alone celebrate.
  3. There is always a way out, if you want it. The thread is called Escape Committee for that reason

Remember: women talking to each other is a powerful weapon!

In four years we have gone from starting the first thread, to launching a website, to be invited to give evidence to a government inquiry, which is pretty spectacular when you think about it.

Thanks to all the women who have told their stories and particularly to those who have stuck around to help others. Thanks also to @socialworker222 who remains nice cop, to my stern cop.

Do say hello to start the thread off!

Trans Widows Voices website- again if any of the omen who have previously posted would like to contribute their story then do let me know.

www.transwidowsvoices.org/

Just last month the site had had 3,765 visits, from 75 countries. It feels pretty amazing that women from all over the world - Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Costa Rica, Ghana, Qatar, Philippines are finding our site.

No direct connection but just want to say Well Done to you all. A middle aged man transitioning and expecting his unsuspecting wife to celebrate that seems just another example of male gas lighting, so good luck to you all.
