Is Thomas Cohen (Peaches Geldof's widow) trans or?

[user40643]

I've followed him for years and a lot of the posts lately are making me question.

Really??
His wife od'd.
Thomas was the father of her children while she secretly started back on very HARD drugs.
And you actually have questions re her ex?

How bout you lay blame where it is deserved instead of starting unfounded and unnecessary rumors?

Huh?

@PatienceIsAVirtueInMM I don't think the OP was blaming or criticising him, just asking a question.

What on earth does that have to do with the OPs question?

Where are you following him? He hasn’t posted on Instagram since 2014.

He has a 2nd instagram under sulphur

Sylph even

There's an article about him wearing dresses from a couple of years ago. It's from the Fail so I won't link to it but it also refers to him being known as Sylph now. No mention of whether he is trans or just wants to wear dresses.

And I have no idea why anyone would object to any question about him just because his wife died!

Bit prurient to be speculating about an individual in this way. We're bigger than that aren't we?

What?

I really liked Peaches and Thomas as an extension. I was a teenager when she died but used to love her posts. I empathise with him entirely. I'm just asking a question.

That's what he goes as, I wasn't sure if the name was part of the change.
Also has some music out which is interesting to say the least, but may just not be my genre.

He's currently modelling some vintage dresses.

Hope the kids, Ast & Phe are well

How is it anybodies business how he identifies, or how he wishes to dress? Unless you ask the person directly, the only answers you will get will be speculative. It should be irrelevant to you and everyone else.

It doesn't have to be my business. I'm interested.
Google "celebrities", it's phenonomal, people are interested in others' lives simply because they're well known. Crazy, right?

Weird post

He dresses a bit like a younger, though far more stylish Laurence Llewelyn Bowen.

Alternatively, he was doing a Harry Styles/Bowie/Marc Bolan fashion-music fusion thing? Talked a lot about divinity. Whilst crossdressing may now be under the Trans umbrella, he may well have been expressing his femme side/going for androgyny because it has proven lucrative/popular in modelling and music trends of late?

Oh you’re not allowed to ask questions or wonder about things to do with celebs on Mumsnet anymore 🙄

Look at the Judi Dench thread from yesterday. Such snippiness from a few sad acts.

Hmmm.. well I'm now following him on Instagram!

Oh yes, I agree, it's more Marc Bolan style.

If Thomas is describing themselves as a widow, that would hint at transgenderism: men who are bereaved are widowers

Nice one OP – I just Googled his name and the first thing that comes up is this thread. He'll thank you for that, I'm sure.

You shouldn't have commented and bumped the thread, you're in the firing line.

Yeah this is what I was thinking at first. It's more recently I've been wondering if it was more towards the trans side.

No issue with men wearing dresses, dressing feminine etc. It's how it should be and would help to eradicate the gender stuff.

A lot of people just don't know the difference and describe bereaved spouses of both genders as "widows". That's wrong, but a common mistake.

He just seems like a bit of a lost soul going by that Instagram account.
