Welcome to thread 5. A virtual prize for anyone who can guess the geeky sci fi reference in the thread title.

This is a support area for women who are, or have been, in unhappy relationships with male partners who are transitioning, or exploring their "gender identity"

If you are in that position-

  1. You are not alone
  2. It is not a situation that you should be expected to tolerate, let alone celebrate.
  3. There is always a way out, if you want it. The thread is called Escape Committee for that reason

Remember: women talking to each other is a powerful weapon!

In four years we have gone from starting the first thread, to launching a website, to be invited to give evidence to a government inquiry, which is pretty spectacular when you think about it.

Thanks to all the women who have told their stories and particularly to those who have stuck around to help others. Thanks also to @socialworker222 who remains nice cop, to my stern cop.

Do say hello to start the thread off!

Hi. Not affected personally by this issue but have been on these threads in the past under a diff username offering moral support.

Im just dropping in to make you all aware that this weeks Woman magazine has an article written by a trans widow. I did skim through it while i was in town. (was going to buy it but had to rush home due to bloody IBS) it was quite detailed and made some of the points that have been made on here.

Thanks

I suppose it'll be this story

Yes I dont think they were quite brave enough to mention trans in the tagline. Its a similar interview to the one that was in Woman and Home four years ago,

It's the same article that was in the Mail a few weeks ago.

Yes that one. I didn't link in case the author hadn't told them she'd sold it twice but maybe it's more likely that Mail sold it on.

Woman didnt print this bit

Having seen him in my lingerie, I didn't really want to have sex with him at all. I didn't know what he'd be thinking. Would he have rather been me? But he started to get angry at this, so I forced myself to keep the peace, gritted my teeth in bed and resumed more regular sex
