It's been a long slog but trans widows have finally made it into the broadsheets! Pleased to have worked with Ewan Somerville on this article, which is a pretty good summary:

This is fabulous to see. After so much misrepresentation in the press and by politicians who should know better, finally some national coverage. Well done Tinsel.

Thank you Tinsel for the work you do Flowers

Glad your voices are being heard at last.

"We are terrified to speak. We are very often trapped. We have very little support."

Well done Tinsel for getting this perspective into mainstream media. Like many women I'm sick of seeing fluff stories where the experiences of the wives and children are either glossed over or completely rewritten.

Well done Tinsel. Hopefully this will reach many women who don’t yet know that they are not alone.

Thank you, op. Good to see this getting National coverage. Heartbreaking

Fantastic to get something into the Telegraph, it might reach some more women going through this alone, and they'll be able to find support online with TWV.

Great work Tinsel.
