I don’t really know where to put this but this thread seems like a good place.
Out of interest, I wondered whether not netmums were having these conversations. I tried searching for Lily Madigan but it turned up nothing.
I did however start to read a thread about a woman whose husband had come out as trans and he now wanted their young child to stop calling him dad and call him by a female name.
As I read, more women came on to talk about their experience of being married to someone who had come out.
I’ve got to say, I’ve read quite a few of these things, but it was still fairly harrowing.
All the issues we talk about here, in the abstract are utterly ruining peoples lives.
Then a man came on to say he has come out. It comes as no surprise how angry and demented some transactivists sound. He was clearly consumed by being trans.
He was desperately unhappy. As were his family and children.
What comes across, more than anything, is that this is a mental condition. It’s a obliterates everything else in these peoples’ lives. To the point of insanity.
The women are left rudderless and truly desperate, with zero support. Only vilification for not ‘understanding’. The men are obsessive and driven about becoming ‘women‘. Their craving for validation overrides everything. I can’t believe laws are being considered on the back of this illness.
Believe me, there was nothing of my understanding of the word woman about them.
I don’t want to provide a link, because I feel as though these women’s experiences should be confined to that particular website. Out of a respect for their privacy.
But it’s easily searchable.
