I just wanted to say how impressed I am with some superb writing I've seen on these threads - standards of knowledge, thinking and writing on huge complex topics can often rival what I read in print and online news. Personal experience in so many fields eloquently and engagingly set out by transwidows, parents of ROGD children and children with autism and so many more. At its best I think Mumsnet is an important archive of what's happening now and why.
