That's it really! I just realised it's almost exactly a year since my teen told me he was trans. He seems to have changed his mind now, but who knows how things would have turned out without the advice and support I got here.

Came for help, stayed for the amazing knowledge and the laughs! Hope you all have some fun tomorrow, maybe I'll get to meet some of you in London on Feb 1st!

Merry Christmas and a massive thanks to you all from me too. I haven't posted for a long while but I remember just how useful and supportive this board was when I was getting my head around the whole TRA business. Thanks to all the courageous women out there - you're an inspiration

OhHolyJesus · 24/12/2019 15:34

You beat me to it! Grin

Festive greetings to all and huge thanks for the wise words and lighthearted laughs throughout the year. Can't quite believe it's been a year, some weeks go by and so much happens in the world of a GC woman it feels like half a week is a month!

So thrilled to hear your boy has had a change of heart Jam I too have found an escape route so to be there on the 1st too!

Happy Christmas everyone xxx

Merry Christmas to you all too - you have woken me up, made me laugh, made me angry, made me feel strong, made me feel less alone. I have daughters & I want them to grow up in a world without stereotypes & with no limitations on their freedom, safety & potential x

Merry Christmas to you all, have a lovely day/holiday.

Have a great Christmas, wonderful women of FWR.

And for anyone like me, happier Boxing day... when all the rush is over and you can slouch around eating leftovers.

Happy to hear your boy is, for now, safely in his own body. Happy Christmas to all and thanks for all the insights, laughs and camaraderie. In the Queen’s words, it’s been a bumpy year (wonder if she was referring to the ups and downs of protecting women’s rights in 2019 Grin) and sometimes I wish I didn’t know what I know. But it’s been a great relief and solace to find some fellow sceptics on here. Cheers to all.

Festive greetings from a lurker. I've learned so much from this board - thank you.

Restaurant critic Marina O'L had an excellent comment the other day that can speak for many of us and our preferences:

If anyone wants to interview me about my Christmas, can riff for 800 words about three days in pyjamas eating cold stuffing straight from the bird's jacksie

Merry Christmas to all my brave, wise, funny, FWR sisters.

Pulllllllllllllllllllllllll that cracker!

LangCleg · 24/12/2019 16:25

Merry Christmas one and all!

Thanks for allowing me to fume impotently with you all.

Sprinklemetinsel · 24/12/2019 16:27

Happy Christmas. May the New Year bring the world a more enlightened attitude, and if not then us the patience to keep working away at it!

Think you missed the omni, Lang? Grin

DetroitDaReindeer · 24/12/2019 16:33

Merry Christmas, everyone!

jamrollyolly · 24/12/2019 16:56

Happy Birthday Beyond ! And Lang, you're right to be fuming, but it's not impotently, waves are being made.

2019 was weird, let's be honest. We were re-spelled, re-defined and re-named, whether we liked it or not. We stood up, stepped up and spoke up and some of us suffered for it. We contributed to crowdfunders, developed our own networks and websites, and defended increasing attempts to shut us up. We start 2020 with one of the world's most influential authors politely and compassionately agreeing with us, as others expose themselves as vicious, insulting and potentially violent. We remind ourselves we stand for the rights of women and children and the rights for all to say that sex exists and it matters.

Merry Christmas everyone and here's to a whole, healthy and happy 2020.

Thank you all for your respectful support for the transwidows. It's been really great to know that many of you have our backs. Happy Christmas Xmas Grin

More of a lurker than a poster but this forum has been amazing in helping me articulate issues in real life and describe to people what the problem is.

I can’t do out and out social media because of my job but I am quietly spreading the word, hopefully that will help.

You are all fabulous, clever, articulate adult human females, Merry Christmas to you all.
