I am also a transwidow and I am increasingly speaking out under articles in "The Times" and many other publications, as a direct result of your campaigning, Graham. Next: we need a legal path to the repeal of the "Gender" "Recognition" Act 2004 here in England, "TERF Island". This law is the root of the mischief. Your campaigning informs all who read and listen to your substack. Thank YOU!

I left a cockfrocker 18yr ago - well before this shit had kicked off, in truth.

NOBODY stays for the kids. It's the lie people tell themselves so they can stay stuck, right where they are, believing all the old lies, the old tapes, the old messages. I know this is an unpopular opinion, I don't gaf. I've walked that walk and NOBODY stays for the kids. It's a honeyed lie they tell themselves. Unless your idea of 'family time' is psychological rape by daddy in drag as he plays dress-ups and you, a grown arse adult, enable it. And to that I say 'fuck off'.

Better one happy parent than two miserable ones. #Unrepentant #NEVERSurrender I left, have lived in abject poverty ever since, but guess what? My kid isn't fuckt in the head from daddy's dress-up fetish time. I am inviolate. We did nothing wrong. To every woman in that place I say FLEE. #NEVERlookback

Do you have any idea who Rex Landy is? What a snotty, privileged suggestion to make to an indigenous woman! A paid position? Who in hell has a paid position speaking out against this garbage?

I think we need Rex Landys in our world to speak plainly and forcefully. Women who aren't ready to leave are not going to pay any attention to her words; women who are on the verge may get the courage to do so.

Here is a question women have been struggling with since feminism began: Are women adult humans or children? Does a woman who stays with a man who abuses or even kills children bear any responsibility? Does a woman who excuses bad behavior from her male or female partner bear responsibility? I know one crucial problem is that we need adequate income support for women and children who need to get away from abusive men, but the real shocker comes when you find out the woman is the breadwinner and he is using HER money to indulge his fetish.

I'm wondering how many women left men in the U.S. when they got covid relief payments. A huge number of people are still leaving shitty jobs which delights me.

It is also important not to mansplain to others from on high like Lady Chatterly oh, I see you can't help it.

It really IS that simple, Jenny. Everything else is, ahem, white noise. No need to mansplain back to me about how I need a job. Contribute to my Paypal or fuck off LoLz.

Please, Landy. I've supported your attitude in the past, but I am offended by your language now. We are all real people here. Be polite, be supportive. You are not helping by attacking.

That's so nasty, untrue and typical of the trans persons. I note you call yourself Jenny, you sound like a man unable to cope with female hormones to me.

Jenny is is the person whose video was shared above. What are you talking about?

Expand full comment

You're absolutely right. Sorry about that. My great admiration is for Jenny is expressed above. I intended to criticise someone criticising Jenny and I suppose outrage got the better of me. It was such a nasty piece of writing I'm not reading it again. As I said earlier my heart goes out to you, Jenny.

I'm new to this chatting online, I'm well past my seventh decade and finding my way 'round posts and so forth.

What I do notice is how nasty everyone is to each other. I posted something with an incorrect name. I got an email from G.L. saying, "this doesn't make sense.." and it didn't I suspect predictive text offered Jenny for Landy. Clearly a mistake. The message from Jenny ended, 'wth', which has an agressive tone. I expect men XY taking female XX hormones to behave like ill mannered teenagers but there's no call for XX sporting female to be agressive.

I feel Mr Landy has a badly put point. If your spouse/partner is so awf

Dammit, pressed the wrong thingy. Yes, I feel Mr Landy has a point about women (XX) who stay in abusive relationship s although he could have been gentler in his approach.

Hello, me again. It was Rex L. I was talking about. What a horrible man. I hope you have seen my other comment supporting you.

Expand full comment

Hi Margaret, I can understand the mistake because of the name but Rex Landy is a woman.

Seeing Rex give evidence to this Parliamentary Committee in New Zealand was inspirational:

https://youtu.be/bA7JJkcF3TY

Rex, if you are reading this, your bravery can help women who might be thinking that they do not have the courage or ability to escape the sort of situation you found yourself in.

Some women do excuse their paralysis or hide from admitting their abject terror by pretending to themselves that they "stay for the children". Maybe for some your harsh truths will shake them into action.

There are others though who are justifiably in fear for their and their children's lives if they make a move and have nowhere safe to go. There is always someone worse off than ourselves, who cannot help herself, has had her mind or body destroyed or is in too much danger.

Maybe tomorrow she will have the strength, or cunning or good luck to find a way or to get help. Maybe it will be next week or next month. In the meantime she will be fighting despair and mental torment and the "fact" drilled into her that she deserves to despise herself for her weakness and worthlessness.

Rex, more than anyone that woman needs to know that she could do what you have done, that she can find your strength inside herself.

I didn't know that you were having difficulty making ends meet yourself. I am not well off but if there is a way I can help in a small way then I would like to if you would accept it.

Let's hope 2022 is a better year for all of us.

WTF??? Reading the comments below, I'm reeling! Is it really ok to attack the woman in this video for not getting out of a sadistic relationship sooner? I don't care who anyone else is, it's pathetic to attack someone who has come out the other end and who deserves some dignity. It's hard enough to ask those questions of oneself, "Why didn't I leave sooner?", "How can I justify asking for help when I feel complicit for remaining?" "How can I piece my life back together when my confidence and sense of self are shattered and alien?". Nobody knows the intricacies of another's personal affairs. What I do know, from my own experiences, is the shame and culpability don't go away and do NOT need amplified by anyone else, especially those who have gone through something similar. Feverishly brutal.

Appalling enablers of abusive men are everywhere and apparently “welfare”, completely ignoring numerous laws and endangering both women and children is the answer. They stick together and lie, lie and lie don’t they? Then go on to do it all again to new easier to control targets. Exactly as she outlines it in the microcosm of what it’s like she survived. Lots of women just give up and die or live small, mean lives. Speaking out and resisting the patriarchy is necessary but lives are being lost along the way. They’re that determined to keep their bs secret. It’s pathetic. There are more losses than the world suffers from wars and for what these sick and egocentric fucks egos and nut bar fantasies. She’s right there are more men like this than not and they’re either busy doing it or enabling other men disrespecting women, children and boundaries in the most vile ways. It’s institutionalised basically which is why in NZ at least they keep as much as they can secret. Speaking up is the only inoculation to gain self respect, they’ve attempted to steal with their handmaids and in many guises, back and if you’re blamed, controlled, or persecuted for their crappy behaviour as a consequence it’s a badge of honour in fact is how it is. This is the absolute glaring contempt women are held in. Once you see it you can’t unsee it and that’s painful and means the future is already uninhabitable for women and children which is just they way these pricks and their society want it. Just another man made load of bollocks we have to pretend to take seriously. Refuse to budge, fight back, take heart and do not be silent because as noted by feminist icons silence will not save us. They and there enablers never stop and the damage is done. Resist. Fight back and loudy. Never slink away for others comfort. Brave women exposing her private he’ll for others benefit and so they know they’re not alone or imagining it.Terrifying to stand up to ridiculous little boys who are domestic terrorists such is the system men have created to get their pathetic and sick needs met and hide their inadequacies as either men or human beings. Enslaving and controlling women and children is the best these cowards can do.

Why is this sort of post tolerated? Can't anyone make a good point without using the word, 'vile'? And what about the, 'fucks egos and nut bar fantasies.' ? What about asking posters to rewrite comments leaving out the abuse?

Also ban sentences starting with the word, 'basically'. Please.

My friend is married to a transwoman. Textbook bearded autistic tech bloke. Ugly as sin. Bad speech impediment. Would have been an incel had he not met her. She says she's okay with it but often lowers her voice to say his new name. She said he's not abusing her but she knows about the trans widows site so she's clearly been looking for help. He is taking oestrogen which can make him infertile which is sick considering SHE is infertile! I questioned her over that and she just shrugged that off with "oh well, I need IVF anyway..."
