New Transwidows website: Trans Widows Voices

[TinselAngel]

I'm really pleased to be able to finally launch this new website:

www.transwidowsvoices.org/

Some of you were kind enough to deploy your spades to enable its creation. All of the funding has been provided by feminists such as yourselves.

This is a site owned by trans widows where women will be able to tell their stories. There is a huge need for this to counter the one sided "stunning and brave" narrative that is the only story told by the media.

There are four stories on the site so far and more stories will be added as we receive them. We also hope there will be some exciting guest blogs.

I think I can risk speaking for all the trans widows here when I say, thank you so much to @MNHQ for continuing to have us and to and all FWR supporters for enabling us to get this far.

That is absolutely brilliant tinsel.

Reading the accounts is extraordinary, actually.

Despite many people never having even heard the word autogynephilia, it all feels so familiar, plausible, recognisable.

Everyone knows what cross dressing is. What a fetish is.

It's really beneficial to see the analysis, the experience, the solidarity.

Brilliant work Tinsel

I realise it's been a labour of love in getting to this point.

It has been a bit of a slog I must admit!

It was well worth all your effort Tinsel. Those stories are so powerful and emotional.

Well done. Excellent website and the safe browsing facility is an excellent idea.

I think this is really good. We need to hear the 'other' voice rather than the Trans voice that we hear so much of. Well done Tinsel.

Love the colour scheme

Fantastic - an important resource. Well done you!

great site. Thank you.

Great website, congratulations to everyone involved.

Well done tinsel and to all the transwidows. Please never allow anyone to stop you speaking your truths.

Excellent. Will send to all the woke therapists I know.

Oh very well done!

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I am so pleased that you did this.

That is really impressive TinselAngel especially in the face of this 'stunningly brave' narrative which is adopted by swathes of the media without question or critical analysis. Great job.

Brilliant Tinsel. Wishing you success with it. A much-needed resource.

That’s a fantastic resource, tinsel, many congratulations on it, it will be invaluable to many women.

Well done Tinsel It's a really professional website, I hope it will be an important resource for women in this situation. The "other" story needs to be heard and understood, women need their voices to be heard.

Amazing women

Well done Tinsel you

Amazing work, Tinsel! And to all the other transwidows out there. Our voices will be heard!

Hearty congratulations on this achievement!

Congratulations Tinsel and all involved. It is great to think there is a resource for women in this situation.

The site is amazing. Please do post if you need more financial support for this, I am glad to contribute.

I got enough money to run the site for two years, and a bit left over (because people wouldn't stop donating after the target had been reached, I had to turn donations off!). I shouldn't need any more money for a while unless some other idea of diversification comes to me.

The spare money will be carried over to year 3, otherwise.
