RMW on Antiques Roadshow

@CervixSampler - presumably for the same reason a trans-identifying male posted a photograph of their wound site on Twitter, tagging in a specialist they had never before seen as a patient? A distorted sense of reality, perhaps, or an inflated sense of their own importance… or just because they can and want to?

Why would anyone in their right mind share such intimate details like that in a blog? The mind boggles as my dad would say. Mumsnet should do a branded eye bleach for use after reading such things.

Arabella was on the thread, but to be fair it was a couple of years ago now!

Were you not on that one? I've made mention of it a couple of times in recent weeks, I was pretty flabbergasted.

I'll stick to reading The Beano thanks.

I’ve just had a read and it’s interesting of sorts. If you enjoy reading about someone having their body butchered by morally deviant falling below their hypocritical oath drs.

I read the whole thing once long ago. It's erm... Interesting!

Wise move. He doesn't spare the reader the detail, let's put it like that.

I am sure it would be a truly fascinating read. I'll give it a read whilst I am eating my lunch.

Or maybe not.

I'm sure he won't mind you knowing. He wrote a very detailed blog about his transition, including all the surgery, called Becoming Moira. I'm sure it's still out there if you want to read it.

Thank you. Spending time with family right now but will enjoy reading this later 💐

I will summon up the spirit of Mae West in order to ask the vital question.
Is that a deactivated Luger in your pocket or....

I can well imagine RMW as a 17th century Witchfinder General.

The old burn the witches attitude is always simmering away beneath the surface.

Cauldrons?! Fuck me.

Perhaps decorum should prevent me from asking, but does anyone know if RMW has had his Luger deactivated?

RMWs first comment is here

Then we have joys like the screenshot below from

well worth a read of the whole thread.

And apologies for the many deletions of my posts in that thread. It remains my most deleted posts in one thread ever!! Can't think who might have been constantly pressing the report button on my posts!

Last post was February last year according to :

It probably wasn’t a Luger at all. It just identified as a Luger. And a deactivated one at that.

See, all I got from the story of the relative was that it wasn't any old Nazi Luger, it was in fact a Very Special Gun.

It was the very Essence of A Gun.

Then the ack ack sound of WTF started from the older members of the family.

Ahhhh, I did have AR on, mainly listening. I looked up during that piece and it was quite jarring that the voice did not match/suit the speaker. Interesting about his relative, though.

Yes I don't think I've seen him here since he was advised that posting on a thread of someone he's representing the other side for in an upcoming court case was 'unwise'.

For someone who works in law, he has a tenuous grasp of it. He wrote a book which was so inaccurate that it's best used for wiping your arse.

RMW is also prone to a bit of mansplaining. We once had a lengthy ‘discussion’ about make up being an attribute of sex but how that didn’t mean that me mainly not wearing it made me a bloke because…something

I seem to remember his last appearance here was a little while after the bundles, when it was pointed out to him that posting on the thread of a claimant in a pending case¹ to, in effect, say 'We're watching you' was - at best - unprofessional.

¹ In which I think he is representing the other side.

One thing I have noticed about trans'women' like RMW, is how brave they are in smashing the gender stereotypes associated with their gender. We all know that men are allowed to love trucks AND Jane Austen, women are allowed to love needlework AND boxing, but it is good when the trans community set a fine example.

RMW, for example, from what he posts online, seems to be very interested in steam trains, and he seems to drive round in a classic car visiting train related places. Now we add in military history, and we can clearly see him smashing at least three gender-stereotypes. In contrast I have no evidence he live life as a stereotype of his gender - no evidence he knits or sews or spends half his life dedicated to caring for an elderly relative.

I don't know who it is, but I saw another post on social media where a man was talking about his TW friend and what a lot he did for the local community, including being the Chair of the local Campaign for Real Ale branch. Again, we all know plenty of women love a pint of real ale, but the stereotype is that it is more of a man's thing, yet this TW is smashing the stereotype.

And I guess priests were probably exempt from the official secrets act rules via confession!

I wondered that later, not having thought to ask.

As an aside to ArabellaScott's question regarding valuation:
Very little, he's not old enough and very obvious a poor quality fake.
