RantThought on potential untold story of people with special needs being branded ‘transphobic’
The news about toddlers being reprimanded and suspended from nursery for being ‘transphobic’ makes me wonder how many children and adults with special needs have been reprimanded and negatively impacted due to their ability to tell men and women apart?
I have a family member who has significant learning disabilities and other physical disabilities, and he would not understand the trans and gender bollocks at all. He knows what men are and he knows what women are. I can imagine him being in a situation where he speaks the observable truth of someone’s sex or where he laughs in confusion at a man pretending to be a woman - it’s unacceptable that vulnerable people like him could be targeted for ‘transphobia’.
It’s especially concerning as a lot of the organisations that cater to this group of people are pretty captured, at least in management (I’ve looked at their safeguarding policy documents online and there’s so much gender crap there).
Anyway, just a thought.

Found these on Trans Widows Voices website.
Thank you! I will find both of these.
TransWidows Voices also features the stories of trans widows (mine among them).
Thank you--I read the stories there a while back--may be time to read them again. And thank you for sharing your story! That can't have been easy.
Writing and sharing my story was part of my healing. I also share my store in the upcoming film on transwidows by Vaishnavi Sundar, "Behind the Looking Glass."
