My ex is now threatening to sue me for libel because I have continued to discuss the 2013 incident publicly and in the press. He was charged, he dragged the case out, he pled guilty, he has a conviction for it. But I want you to understand that he feels emboldened now.

For all the TRA mob who don’t understand: Brodie’s is a support group for women who’ve lost babies through domestic violence or forced termination. Run by women for women. I refer you all to the last paragraph of my pinned statement. Nothing transphobic about safeguarding!

Women are 70 times more likely to be killed in the weeks after leaving their abusive partner than at any other time during the relationship. Think about that next time you believe “why didn’t you just leave?” is a valid question.

Safeguarding is a thing. We were all for it as a society a decade ago. Now apparently safeguarding is bigotry. Safeguarding is important. It’s important for children and important for women especially the traumatised and vulnerable.
