"As well as having made the huge decision to begin transgender treatment, Martin also decided that he would not hide any longer.

He would come out as a transgender woman - as Katie - in a way which was very publicly indeed.

Since then, he has been shouting his experiences from the rooftops via social media and local radio and – by and large – has received something of a hero’s welcome."

"Martin/Katie was not only heterosexual, he wanted a child.

He cut his hair, fell in love and the couple had a child together, who is the apple of his eye.

Then in May last year, Martin went to see a clairvoyant he had met at a business networking meeting.

“I went along for a reading because I’d never been to one and I was intrigued,” she says.

What she told him was that he needed to start a new way of being and said there was a part of him that had always been there but that he was not fully in integrity with."

"after that, my gender dysphoria increased dramatically – I was so desperate to identify myself I even Googled ‘what gender is Martin Neeves?’ ”

Desperate, confused and in turmoil, he joined a support group on social media and someone suggested he should see a specialist gender counsellor.

After four successful sessions, in which he says he "hit the ground running", he felt that he was "gender fluid" ("nature doesn’t do black and white, it presents a whole spectrum.")"

"Katie now says: “After counselling and working through therapy on how to identify your gender, I now know I am 70 percent female and 30 percent male.

"It was my fear stopping me from admitting I am actually a transgender woman.”

A second visit to the clairvoyant resulted in a four-hour clarification session using deep meditation and other methods as a way of encouraging and revealing inner truth, with all the answers coming from Martin."

"She looks wonderful and feels great. Her prescribed hormones have made her skin soft, and as a naturally slightly-built person, she has an enviable figure.

She counts herself lucky as many other transgender women are naturally of a heavy build.

Brave determination has paid off, she is happier and more relaxed than ever.

Katie’s name will not be considered for the long waiting list for the actual operation to make her into a woman sexually, until she has lived full-time for a woman as a year."

Perhaps he should rip off his pubes and bleach his anus. Isn't that what's expected of us these days?

The day I first read the words "anal bleaching" was the day I started wondering if the internet had been a mistake.

Look at the woman in the middle. A picture says a thousand words.

🤦‍♀️

I have an engineering degree and 2 pairs of steel toecap boots - could someone work out my percentages please?

Isn't that what's expected of us these days?

if xy genderists would only agree to trade in their toxic masculinity, I for one would be delighted to let them have all the femininity

I was so desperate to identify myself I even Googled ‘what gender is Martin Neeves?’

So not only do they listen to clairvoyants but they don’t understand how google works.

I mostly don’t care, I mostly want people to live in a way that makes them happy but I worry about the lack of psychological help for someone who is clearly struggling.

So wait, google is meant to work like a Magic 8 ball? Just shake it and it will decide for you?

What the fuck?

That's brilliant Hollow

This article is all shades of woo woo. I feel sorry for Martin's wife and child that he made that commitment and went all Derek Akorah on them.

Most men buy a sports car and shag around, but Martin
has visted Shirley Ghostman and now has Timotei hair and a petite frame that Catelyn Jenner could only salivate over
#midlifecrisis

HollowTalk who's the guy with the pearls? Poor lady in the middle looks horrified and terrified.

I really miss the days when the male midlife crisis just involved buying a sports car and getting a hair transplant.

I love loud screamy guitar music. What percentage man am I based on that? Soft skin, but refusal to perform femininity by nurturing whiny men. Long hair, but currently wearing jeans.

You are 100% 1987 Jon Bon Jovi.

My earliest memory is when I was about three, I preferred to wear my sister’s knickers, not realising this was anything to bother about – until mum found out and chastised me

“That’s the first time I remember feeling guilty, bad about myself, ashamed.

"I still kept borrowing my sister’s clothes (and my girlfriend’s), in secret though, all through until my early 20s.”

No fetish to see here, people. Move along.

I wonder if the sister knew about and agreed to the "borrowing".

I do very big shits and like to read in the toilet. Mainly Private Eye. I think that about 10% of me is male (sorry TMI)

Enormous

What colour are your steel toecap boots?

The article was so badly written but i hope Martin is happier now. He actually looks good and fairly convincing - until he speaks and his slight frame does help as so many TW are large, even hulking - that it makes it so much more difficult to see them as how they want to be seen. I still don’t accept him as a woman because woman means something he can never be but he came over well in the video and i wish him well.

One thing that’s strange is that most TW are attracted to women therefore making them lesbians in their eyes - but lesbian women are only a small percentage of women so it’s a bit out of kilter.

*The thing is, it’s all about labels, Katie explains: “When we are born we are given a gender identity purely on the appearance of our genitals.

"After all, what other way is there? You can’t know how a person’s mind is oriented that early on.

“We are labelled for life on what is between the legs, not between the ears.*

Aren’t we just Martin but what makes you think women just accept the labels foisted on us too and the “gender identity” and all thst brings.

“I wonder if the sister knew about and agreed to the "borrowing".”

I used to borrow my sister’s and brother’s stuff - folk are being unnecessarily picky for the hell of it. Same with referring to 3 yr old having a Fettish.

This is a really shitty thread. I can’t see that Martin has done anything to attract this kind of ridicule tbh.

Oh, come on, Magpies.

The person is a mahoosive attention-seeker and deserves a bagful of sniggers and ridicule, along with questions about the whole integrity of the discovery of 'true' identity (by the clairvoyant, ffs).

The whole story is written soooooo badly, and so uncritically.

Nevertheless, it seems pretty clear that Martin/Katie (the names used in the story) is AGP.

(Insert eyeroll here)

Where do I get soft skin and an enviable figure because I'm not really a woman without these.

Here's your eyeroll AAK

Zero sympathy or fucks given here for Martin's feelings...

This is a really shitty thread. I can’t see that Martin has done anything to attract this kind of ridicule tbh

Really?

If I consulted a clairvoyant and subsequently decided I was '70% female and 30% male' (not a snowball's chance in hell but it takes all sorts), then I highly doubt I'd be talking to the local paper - at length - to announce it to the world. While also casually mentioning ex-wives and child who were kept in the dark about all this.

But at least it's all good publicity for the 30% male bit that retains Martin Neeves Photography, eh?
