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.

Another new story has been added today, which is three in the last month:

Lovely site, @TinselAngel.

Shudder.

These stories, in addition to what I went through myself, are why I find the posters going "what's the harm?" so triggering. I'm sure there are cross dressers who do not escalate, but I haven't yet heard of one.

All we can do is get the evidence out there.

A new woman’s testimony has been added to the website today.

I’d particularly invite women that are maybe newer to the board to read it.

Congratulations! Great to have a resource which offers support and solidarity for women. Brava.

Pleased to be able to publish this story from a lesbian trans widow to avoid it being lost.

Such an important resource for women going through this. And wow those views are really racking up. The truth is spreading.

Thank you.

Yes I really pleased that so many women have been able to tell their stories.

That’s beautifully written, Tinsel. But god, that poor woman.

It is particularly well written.

Tinsel, an honour to have met you at Filia.

Love, woman with baby x

It was lovely to meet you two, @BlessedKali!

Brave woman, another very well explained and heart breaking account. Thank you Tinsel, I re read a number of the accounts today and the common points of experience come up again and again.

It looks really good and comprehensive. Well done

What a powerful new addition @TinselAngel

Every time I remember why I'm in this fight, the stories and perspective you've shared over the years of yours and others experience are so strong.

We talk of fighting for vulnerable children, vulnerable women, and it's so important to include these abused and, so often, hidden and ignored women's stories in the reason why we fight. What a fantastic resource you're creating, and I'm so sorry that so many women have been affected that create the need for that resource.

I find the testimonies on the site so enlightening

I've just counted and we have 19 women's stories now.

On reflection I'm pretty proud of the achievement of getting 20 women's stories in the website.
