I was told in 2019 in a private conversation with a very prominent PhD gender critical feminist that platforming Hayton was a way to have a political strategy that was acceptable to the left. I was told by a woman who is part of the organising Committee for one of the original
GC feminist groups that yes, hypothetically they would platform my ex if the situation required it and his leftie political credentials were acceptable.

🧵Trans widows don't have much time, its in the nature of our position to be working single parents, so I resent the recent rush of men who seem to feel they've a claim on my time all of a sudden because they've finally caught up with something we've been talking about for years. As I've been tagged in this I will give it half an hour of my very valuable time in cased anyone is under the illusion that TWV was consulted in this article or cooperated with it- we were not.

Preferred pronouns should not be used by feminists as a reward for perceived moderation. Doing so says to #transwidows “we disagree with genderism over all, but we’ll call *your* ex a woman if he acts nicely to us”. And women who are able to tweet under their real name (often because they are making a living from this so it’s in their interests to do so), should not look down on those of us who have to be anonymous here, for our own safety/ livelihood

Trans widows know all about disgust, we feel it when our husbands start growing their nails, and shaving their bodies, and wearing secret frilly knickers to work. We try to overcome the disgust at first to keep our families together, but it’s always there. We’re told we shouldn’t feel disgust, that we’re seeing the real them, who we should love.
Trans widows feel disgust when they’re coerced into sex with husbands dressed in tacky women’s clothes and using strap ons but they’re told not to kink shame and to do it if we love them.

The most notable thing about the article by Jan Morris’s daughter is that anybody’s surprised by the neglect and emotional abuse. Newsflash:it’s still there even if the perpetrator is clever or is one of your social class. We’ve been telling our stories. Why haven’t you listened? The assumption that a wife or a child who is silent about this, was somehow happy with it, is a convenient way for people to cop out of dealing with what we go through.

For some time we have been predicting that when our exes begin to detransition it will result in just another round of attention and sympathy causing further silencing of #transwidows
