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. Smile

Brilliant site Tinsel. I hope people see the reality and truth of these men, rather than lazily buying into the stunning and brave nonsense.

That's a very powerful story. They are all powerful stories

Congratulations - really great, much needed site. I wish you all the success in the world. Your stories need to be heard

Holy shit! - "They even discussed murdering me."

"Eleven years later and several instances of finding his fake nails and other evidence of cross-dressing, there were now three children and my husband met someone online who shared his cross-dressing fantasies and convinced him to pursue a sex change. I found all of their sexually explicit messages. He described being married to me as torture. All these years I thought I was the one being tortured. They even discussed murdering me. "

This is heartrending - but at least the kids do not have to cope with their mother having been murdered by a cross-dressing father in cahoots with an online cross-dressing pal !

"After I left him, I felt like myself for the first time in many years. I had been lost to policing his cross-dressing and not triggering him to cross-dress. I was finally able wear clothes I liked without worrying that he may be triggered. The children had to grieve the loss of a father, no longer allowed to call him “Dad”, the saddest factor of all. It was all very traumatic for me, but it has been far harder for the children. "

If not already done, I hope someone signposts Baroness Nicholson to www.transwidowsvoices.org

Congratulations! All the best for the site. 💐💐💐

Anyone else finding it difficult to read the personal accounts because the site keeps crashing and asking you to refresh? Is it because there are so many visitors?

SocialConnection · 04/06/2020 15:59

Keep getting this message.

It's working for me.

Sometimes it doesn't work if you have parental controls on your wifi, for understandable reasons.
