Late transitioners, domestic abuse and trans widows

[TinselAngel]

A really important article by Dr Em.

I'm so pleased that the bravery of women who spoke out on MN has enabled the dots to start to be joined on this.

I cannot overstate how important this article is.

"What could be more coercive than repeatedly claiming your partner’s sense of reality, understanding of science and anatomy (that humans cannot change sex), was wrong?”

I still can't talk about it in real life. I went from having a flat and a job to being a single parent on benefits in social housing and living hand to mouth. There are people who still think I'm a bitch for ending things. It hasn't fucking occurred to any of them that women don't just leave for no good reason, and then go on to have a complete nervous breakdown for no good reason.

Gosh, that's a sobering read. It's an undeniable fact that AGP frequently leads to these destructive behaviours. Behaviour that is universally recognised as abusive, in any other context.

Hopefully, more and more people are beginning to understand the prevalence of AGP individuals within the transgender movement. It's a subject that must be addressed.

That’s really powerful stuff.

Oh that's - really heavy reading.

Nothing construction to add. Just a for the trans widows here.
