Why is she trawling through trans positive posts? What is her aim? I'm not sure what she is trying to achieve and nothing she says to me resonates with me at all. As anyone who reads my blog knows I am comfortable with my situation and enjoy being part of this community. She will never sway me with her TERF views and transphobic comments so why does she keep trying? Give up love, its a hopeless cause!
Although I have made all comments on my blog so they are approved first, it doesn't mean that I'm not prepared to share her comments, although this will probably we the last time as I am bored of her harassment. I just don't want all her negativity and hate in ad hoc comments against my blog. What some people in this community do not understand is that being a supportive partner can be quite difficult. We are not accepted in many trans forums because we are CIS/natal, God forbid! As partners they do not think we should or can have an opinion and that we are supportive but in a transphobic way..... yes, sadly we are called transphobic and are accused of it and tarred with the same brush as 'all' CIS people again who are generalised.
We are not always accepted by general society as they don't understand why we would stay and support someone we love and as my Transwidow proves we are open to abuse from people whose relationships have failed due to their partner being trans. We also risk friendships and some family relationships to support our partners and sometimes we are victims of the same abusers as our partners or trans people within the community. But despite all this, we remain strong and supportive.
So lets get back to my lovely stalker....... what was so important than in the space of less than an hour she left me 7 messages.....
These were against my Transwidow Q & A post, she doesn't even cover the issue of transmen, all her vitriol is aimed towards transwomen (as this is obviously what her partner was that broke her) but this time she doesn't even warrant a response and not going to waste my time and feel free to visit her blog which she desperately keeps pushing..... I'm not going to read it as I already know from her comments the hatred and TERF comments it will contain.
- your blog title says it all. http://mirandayardley.com/en/
a-history-of-autogynephilia/
- i find it astonishing that you are ready to swallow this hook line and sinker without even rudimentary research.the fact that you could encourage your husband to mutilate his healthy body and go to these lengths to affirm his 'identity' without ever coming across the word autogynephile says it all really... all heterosexual transsexual males are autogynephilic to some degree or other.. most of us ex wives and partners recognise the signs like they are burned into our brains.you are being abused. your good nature is being appropriated for a mans sexual satisfaction and we feel sorry for you because you still havent realised what this man is doing to you. femininity does not equal female. he does not give one single shit about women or lesbians, though i bet he claims to be one in bed eh? or have you also given up your sex life so he doesnt have to be bothered with your needs anymore or do you not really find you are attracted to amputated penises and not sure what to do with the weird hole between his legs, the daily dilations, the nasty wee hairballs that grow inside his 'vag'? .. do you even know the first thing about this surgery? how much research have you actually done on his condition? you have put his sexual needs above yourself and your family. dont be surprised at the fallout.
- the sad person here is the blogger. truly.
- it actually was not a bad relationship? - it was a wonderful relationship that grew from a 30 year friendship. so youre wrong to presume anything about me. we were very happy until it turned out we werent because genda. ive had babies ive been a midwife and i know that WOMEN are people who menstruate, get pregnant, give birth, lactate, go through menopause, suffer infertility and patriarchal medicalisation to the point of trauma and suffer lifelong the male gaze and gender stereotypical societal expectations to the point of starving themselves to death and self harming in the name of beauty to please men. women do not get born with testicles and penises or impregnate, violate, rape or murder other women.
- this woman had a 15 year very happy marriage thank you very much. the nature of the beast means you dont know you are being violated or understand the mechanism by which you are being abused until you are away from the gaslighter. these men are very prone to using women all up and then walking away with all the benefits built up over a long marriage.i very much doubt her loyalty will be repaid. and she just might find she has to pay a very high price in her other relationships. https://transwidow.wordpress.

- shared among my private 'survivors of trans relationships' groups... how old are you btw and how many children have you birthed, breastfed and raised?
Thank you for comments transwidow Penelope and thank you for sharing my posts amongst your TERF groups but now is the time for you to
I haven't had this issue on my blog, but I have encountered it on my twitter feed. It's annoying more than anything else. They want to tell you how you feel or who you are, like they are an authority on anything but being angry. I have stopped trying to reason with them, and I can see you have as well.

Was written by myself, I am Miranda Yardley, a transsexual. I write what I do not to be hateful, but to help trans people and anyone else understand what it is to be transsexual, and to critique what I see as aspects of trans ideology that are harmful to trans people themselves, as well and women and children.
The etiology of non-homosexual transsexuals is quite well understood, I believe everyone should be treated fairly and with compassion, but this does not extend to indulging fantasy especially when this has a material consequence and effect on the rights of others.
I would highly recommend to both yourself and Lucy this short essay by Anne Lawrence, herself transsexual, contextualising and explaining how and why many (non-homosexual) transsexuals are the way they are:
http://www.annelawrence.com/becoming_what_we_love.pdf
A lot of transsexuals I have introduced to this have found this has resonated and been helpful in understanding themselves.
Sincerely, I wish both of you good luck.
Miranda
Miranda, your blog was referred to in the comment by the TERF. Avril was just relaying the comment. So your information is being used as a weapon against all transgender by this particular TERF. Just putting that out there.
