'If your partner refuses to use your correct pronouns or deadnames you, this is #abuse and it’s unacceptable.'

This graphic also appears to have been drawn to call Transwidows and their children transphobic for using correct-sex pronouns twitter.com/VictimSupport/status/1442769813428965376.

Victim Support state you should always use demanded pronouns, including non-binary made-up ones, no matter how obviously male or female a person is. twitter.com/VictimSupport/status/1415246776177672193

Victim Support is the charity women who have been domestically abused and raped are referred to by the police. They support and advise women during the police investigation and in court as well as those who haven't reported to the police.

Victim Support have been given 'Star Performer' status by Stonewall and rank highly on the Stonewall Index. www.victimsupport.org.uk/victim-support-named-top-charity-third-year-stonewall-workplace-equality/

Victim Support is very clearly not fit for purpose.

Ratherly · 20/11/2021 20:04

This is utterly appalling. What can we do to undo the unholy mess that stonewall has created?

GrandmaMazur · 20/11/2021 20:07

FFS

MichelleScarn · 20/11/2021 20:08

Absolutely ffs

Heruka · 20/11/2021 20:09

Fucking hell.

EmbarrassingHadrosaurus · 20/11/2021 20:10

I unilaterally demand that Victim Support should adopt my preference that they are hereafter to be known as DARVO Gaslighters.

MichelleScarn · 20/11/2021 20:11

Had a look at that and there's also basically 'you should be able to express yourself however you want to and its abusive not to let you'

Motorina · 20/11/2021 20:14

Yet, a couple of tweets down:

You should never feel pressured to do something that you’re uncomfortable with, even if your partner insists it’s ‘normal’. You can always say no.

What if someone is uncomfortable in calling their husband 'she'? What then?

Deliriumoftheendless · 20/11/2021 20:15

Whilst I agree with this statement

“You should never feel pressured to do something that you’re uncomfortable with, even if your partner insists it’s ‘normal’. You can always say no.
#Pride“

How do they square this with transwidows in coercive sexual relationships? Because this seems to apply to the wives here, yet goes against the pronouns advice?

CreepingDeath · 20/11/2021 20:16

This is so ridiculous, it seems that when women assert boundaries they are punished for it.

I can't believe how many people and organisations had just gone along with this bullshit narrative that trans people are the most victimised ever and ever amen, without looking into the circumstances.

WHY is this the one issue where logic and common sense goes out the window?

An organisation called 'victim support' should surely know that some abusers are master manipulators, and will twist everything to punish their victim. They know this happens. So why are they now siding with the abuser?

TinselAngel · 20/11/2021 20:17

Oh great

MichelleScarn · 20/11/2021 20:18

Well delirium I think it's because the transitory are just those pesky natal females who really need to remember the famous quote to paraphrase 'all 'women' are equal but some are more equal than others'

peepholepringle · 20/11/2021 20:18

Sickening 😡

MichelleScarn · 20/11/2021 20:19

Transwidows not transitorys!

SquishySquirmy · 20/11/2021 20:22

Just awful.
Do they not see the contradiction?

LonginesPrime · 20/11/2021 20:22

You should never feel pressured to do something that you’re uncomfortable with, even if your partner insists it’s ‘normal’. You can always say no.

Clearly that's a typo in their previous tweet - they obviously meant "you can't always say no".

Triphazards · 20/11/2021 20:25

My advice is kick him in the cobblers.

Lovelyricepudding · 20/11/2021 20:27

&"Your partner should never belittle your sexualitt or be dismissive of your gender identity. You should always be proud to express who you are"*

Given we are talking within relationships here and often abusive ones at that, I can see no issue with thus. Oh no no issue at all.... Hmm

TinselAngel · 20/11/2021 20:36

This is part of a concerted strategy by Stonewall, Scottish Trans Alliance etc, to intimidate and shame women into compliance from the moment they find out their husband is cross dressing.

LizzieSiddal · 20/11/2021 20:39

But lying to and gaslighting your partner isn’t abusive?

Leafstamp · 20/11/2021 20:39

This is hideous.

I keep thinking I can’t be shocked anymore and then something else comes along that just makes me despair.

DaisyNGO · 20/11/2021 20:43

This was Tweeted in June and has very few replies. Odd.

EarthSight · 20/11/2021 20:46

Also from the same account -

'You should never feel pressured to do something that you’re uncomfortable with, even if your partner insists it’s ‘normal’. You can always say no'
