That's heartbreaking. I've voted, just waiting to verify my email address.

'You must have known' has got to be the cruelest thing you can say to a woman who has been deceived by an expert at deception.

What is it called? I can't find it.

Make us Matter. Voted. I feel for these women. The Trans Widows thread on here broke my heart.

Which video is it? That link brings up all of them.

Tank you. Found and voted.

Well, the email to verify never did appear. I used a Yahoo account. I will try another one tomorrow.

I'm not sure I can express my view in an coherent manner. If a man deserts his wife and children because he fell in love with another man, that's adultery. Some men do hide/deny their homosexuality and marry and have children. And it's devastating for the wife and children when the man eventually “comes out” and leaves.

But this situation isn't the same. There isn't another woman or a male lover. It's a man who is in love with himself. And he gets praised and lauded for being so brave by “coming out” as trans.

Would I be unreasonable to speculate why one of the negative consequences for the family is financial? I mean, aren't there extra expenses involved in transing?

How do the children manage? Is it easier for a high school/secondary school youngster to say that their father has left because he's gay, rather than saying their father has left because he's now a woman?

The Transwidow thread here has really brought it home how narcissistic some TIMs are. And how much damage they cause their families.

Voted (awaiting email).

The voice of that woman needs to be heard.

Voted

And confirmed. Thanks for posting the link OP

Thank you. Tried to vote. Waiting to verify.

That made me cry

Very moving.

Kooshbin I understand, although haven't confirmed, that the judge said he didn't need to pay child support so he could use the money saved for transition surgery. As I say, I haven't confirmed this, but if true it is extraordinary. I am amazed she hasn't successfully appealed.

I saw that on Twitter btw.

Voted.

Made me cry. My sons father 'came out' as being homosexual to me and admitted he'd cheated with numerous men and had in fact been with men way before we met. I was absolutely crushed and felt my dreams for the future (and that of my sons) were built on a foundation of sand. He then went back into the closet and fathered two more children by two other women but the relationships don't last, one of the ones after me caught him in bed with another man too. I feel desperately sad for people caught up in these kinds of relationships.

I once knew an older married man (and father) who came out as gay - he more or less had to because he was diagnosed with HIV, which, it transpired, he had also given his wife. She died. Everyone said how 'brave' he was coming out and how he could not have known about the HIV (true - it was early days), but everyone seemed to overlook the wife.

I've tried to vote again with a different email, still no verification coming through - help!
