"Trans widows’ fear being trapped in loveless marriages if gender law changes" in today's Telegraph

[TinselAngel]

It's been a long slog but trans widows have finally made it into the broadsheets! Pleased to have worked with Ewan Somerville on this article, which is a pretty good summary:

Do you have an archive of it?

Fantastic to get something into the Telegraph, it might reach some more women going through this alone, and they'll be able to find support online with TWV.

Great work Tinsel.

Thank you, op. Good to see this getting National coverage. Heartbreaking

So many articles today .., is mayas case helping enabling people speak out more ?

Oh and yes, well done tinsel

We could never have got this far without the support of all you vipers

Well done Tinsel. Hopefully this will reach many women who don’t yet know that they are not alone.

"We are terrified to speak. We are very often trapped. We have very little support."

Well done Tinsel for getting this perspective into mainstream media. Like many women I'm sick of seeing fluff stories where the experiences of the wives and children are either glossed over or completely rewritten.

Glad your voices are being heard at last.

Thank you Tinsel for the work you do

This is fabulous to see. After so much misrepresentation in the press and by politicians who should know better, finally some national coverage. Well done Tinsel.

Well done Tinsel, fantastic to see TransWidows getting sympathetic media attention at last.

Thanks to you and the other trans widows for your outstanding courage and tenacity xxxxxxx

Well Done.

Well done transwidows for all of your tireless work on this.

It always boggles me that the same people who will tell you that you mustn’t tell other people what their gender identity or sexuality is are so keen to force purportedly same sex marriages on straight women without their consent.

I hope the recent change in tone on the debate enables your voices to be accorded the space and respect they deserve

Huge congrats OP, it has been a long old slog indeed! Really thrilled to finally see this issue getting some mainstream coverage.

So truly well deserved.

amazing work Tinsel

getting women's voices heard - true feminism

Well done tinsel. So hard getting women's voices heard

This is a fantastic achievement - getting a well-written article in the mainstream press. Well done Tinsel for your tireless efforts to get to this stage.

Brilliant news. I can't read the article because it's paywalled but I hope this will be taken up more widely. How about it Woman's Hour?

Thanks for the archive link and we'll done for getting this out there for to long Stonewall has been allowed to be the only 1 to talk about this

Well done Tinsel. Hopefully this will reach many women who don’t yet know that they are not alone.

And yes, absolutely this.
