'If your partner refuses to use your correct pronouns or deadnames you, this is #abuse and it’s unacceptable.'

This graphic also appears to have been drawn to call Transwidows and their children transphobic for using correct-sex pronouns twitter.com/VictimSupport/status/1442769813428965376.

Victim Support state you should always use demanded pronouns, including non-binary made-up ones, no matter how obviously male or female a person is. twitter.com/VictimSupport/status/1415246776177672193

Victim Support is the charity women who have been domestically abused and raped are referred to by the police. They support and advise women during the police investigation and in court as well as those who haven't reported to the police.

Victim Support have been given 'Star Performer' status by Stonewall and rank highly on the Stonewall Index. www.victimsupport.org.uk/victim-support-named-top-charity-third-year-stonewall-workplace-equality/

And to label someone's confused and distraught children "abusive" is beyond the pale.

Jesus Christ

Needmoresleep · 20/11/2021 21:39

Grim.
Yet another organisation I won’t forgive or forget.

Not even basic humanity or understanding.

NewlyGranny · 20/11/2021 21:39

Surely insisting that your wife is now a lesbian because you're now a woman amounts to a forced conversion minus the "therapy"?

This was Tweeted in June and has very few replies. Odd.

This is part of a concerted strategy by Stonewall, Scottish Trans Alliance etc, to intimidate and shame women into compliance from the moment they find out their husband is cross dressing.

Bloody awful. It's a men's sexual rights movement.

terryleather · 20/11/2021 21:27

This is a complete and utter fucking disgrace. I'd say shame on the lot of them, but they have no shame.

BlackeyedSusan · 20/11/2021 20:53

Flowers tinsel et al.

Disgusting.

EarthSight · 20/11/2021 20:46

Also from the same account -

'You should never feel pressured to do something that you’re uncomfortable with, even if your partner insists it’s ‘normal’. You can always say no'

Leafstamp · 20/11/2021 20:39

This is hideous.

I keep thinking I can’t be shocked anymore and then something else comes along that just makes me despair.

LizzieSiddal · 20/11/2021 20:39

But lying to and gaslighting your partner isn’t abusive?

&"Your partner should never belittle your sexualitt or be dismissive of your gender identity. You should always be proud to express who you are"*

Given we are talking within relationships here and often abusive ones at that, I can see no issue with thus. Oh no no issue at all.... Hmm

Triphazards · 20/11/2021 20:25

My advice is kick him in the cobblers.

LonginesPrime · 20/11/2021 20:22

You should never feel pressured to do something that you’re uncomfortable with, even if your partner insists it’s ‘normal’. You can always say no.

Clearly that's a typo in their previous tweet - they obviously meant "you can't always say no".

SquishySquirmy · 20/11/2021 20:22

Just awful.
Do they not see the contradiction?

MichelleScarn · 20/11/2021 20:19

Transwidows not transitorys!

peepholepringle · 20/11/2021 20:18

Sickening 😡
