The use of the term 'trans widow'

[aibubaby]

I've found this term in poor taste ever since I saw it, and this article I've seen on Twitter is a great look at why.

Marriages end all the time because one spouse isn't who the other thought they were. It's sad or heartbreaking or difficult, and people have (obviously) got the right to grieve for a relationship which is no longer the same. But it isn't a death and it's thoughtless to describe it as though it is.

Very much agree with delayed gratification and the having responsibilities towards the legalities, and particularly responsibilities towards the person you entered into a legal contract with.

It would definitely be unjust if one party could simply discard that contract by deciding to become someone else, whilst being able to ride over the rights of the other party. Women and transwomen are supposed to be equal surely? Not women being forced to become recorded as homosexual without choice.

That isn't equality, that is supremacy.

Not women being forced to become recorded as homosexual without choice.

Or heterosexual.

This phrase pretty much sums up the whole trans rights movement.
