Oddly enough DH was way ahead of me re TRAs, it was him reading mumsnet (during his working day) and telling me I was CIS/natal woman, that made me look at the Trans threads here rather than ignoring them.
My previous stance was live and let live; I know one reassigned MtF whose wife stayed after transition, but its not a relationship where I can ask about the dissonance the wife must have undergone to be in a hetrosexual relationship one minute then in a 'lesbian' relationship the next. I baulked when hearing about a sex offended who cut his penis in order to simulate a period, then would only accept sanitary towels to stem the bleeding and when hearing that a male sex offender said he wanted to transition because he would get easier access to children as a woman. Though classing myself as a feminist I hadn't considered the wider implications.
Since then I've read around myself reading articles on trans issues such as autogynophelia, gender identity, trans widows, the writing is often well thought out and logical.
This is the opposite of much of the TRA stuff I've read and listened to which is often incomprehensible and involves illogical thinking.The more I read, the more worried I become at how the trans lobby is growing and industry is capitalising on and making money out of a defective ideology and the impact on women.
As a woman it worries me at how readily people are keen to jump on the bandwagon, also how little interest my female friends want to take.
So, thanks to all those lovely, brilliant women, men, transwomen and transmen on this site who have banged on and helped to enlighten me.
