'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/

This is a complete and utter fucking disgrace. I'd say shame on the lot of them, but they have no shame.

Datun · 20/11/2021 21:31

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.

Bloody awful. It's a men's sexual rights movement.

Absolutely horrible Angry

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

Surely insisting that your wife is now a lesbian because you're now a woman amounts to a forced conversion minus the "therapy"?

Needmoresleep · 20/11/2021 21:39

Grim.
Yet another organisation I won’t forgive or forget.

Not even basic humanity or understanding.

Jesus Christ

NewlyGranny · 20/11/2021 21:40

And to label someone's confused and distraught children "abusive" is beyond the pale.

MichelleScarn · 20/11/2021 21:42

Wonder if it's now going to disappear because 'crazy right wing terf/prosecco (whatever the rest of the new slur) haters'

This is vile. Flowers to Tinsel and all transwidows.

Thelnebriati · 20/11/2021 22:15

Its worrying that they are so ignorant of UK law, and feel its ok to misrepresent it this way.

MichelleScarn · 20/11/2021 22:16

They are fuckers. Tinsel you are amazing to have gone through what you have and still be able to be such a force for others.

MichelleScarn · 20/11/2021 22:19

Oo so the TRA are on it now and thanking victim support for being against the hobbyists...

Absolutely right it is.

DifficultBloodyWoman · 20/11/2021 22:25

What the actual fuck???

ArabellaScott · 20/11/2021 22:32

What the FUCK?

ArabellaScott · 20/11/2021 22:34

Unfuckingbelievable. No. No. No.

Compelling someone to use certain words, a pronoun or name is potentially abusive! Gaslighting bastards.

ArabellaScott · 20/11/2021 22:36

Also thread starts with 'members of the LGBT+ community' and then goes on about transition and nothing else. Do the other letters just not exist anymore?

HoardingFloralBuntingInACervix · 20/11/2021 22:36

Well done Tinsel. This absolutely needs stink kicked up. Disgraceful.

ArabellaScott · 20/11/2021 22:42

@Thelnebriati

Its worrying that they are so ignorant of UK law, and feel its ok to misrepresent it this way.
The fact that they are labelling a person calling their spouse by the name they married them under as 'abuse' is just ... I don't know what to say. It's worse, isn't it? It's saying that if someone refuses to say something to you they are abusing you. I just cannot imagine that they could come up with a more offensive statement. Compelled speech. Forced compliance. The tweets in themselves seem abusive to me.

I'd like to see some of the domestic abuse sector respond to this. What do Women's Aid say, do they say a woman who refuses to use a different name/pronoun for her spouse is perpetrating abuse?

ArabellaScott · 20/11/2021 22:44

Oh, look.

'Victim Support was placed 25th in Stonewall’s Top 100 Employers list for 2020 and 5th in this year’s National Centre for Diversity top 100 employers’ list.'

What the actual FUCK?

It's more comfortable than thinking.

Flowers to Tinsel and others.

TedImgoingmad · 20/11/2021 22:45

The organisation for victims victimising the victims. I think this one has upset me more than anything else these fucking bastards have done.

If anyone needs investigating by the Charities Commission, it is organisations like this one who are playing politics and effectively excluding a class of victims based on their beliefs (and firm grip on reality).

Flowers Tinsel and all the transwidows and their children.
