Riddle me this - where are all the women in their 40's and 50's who suddenly become trans?

About 4-8 years ago, a ton of women in my circle transitioned. It was like dominoes falling, one after the other did it. They ranged from 30-mid 50s, I'd say. All lesbian. I don't know any straight women who've even considered it, except for a few fanfic writers obsessed with gay men - and their realism prevailed.

So did they consider themselves heterosexual men after they transitioned?

Did any of them have affairs with other transitioned women and consider themselves a gay male couple?

My brain hurts...

Almost all of them had girlfriends when they transitioned. Suddenly they were "Kyle" or "Jacob" or whoever, and growing facial hair, but they'd still come to every lesbian event and try to claim both identities. It was very weird.

That's very sad. It is very difficult to be a woman, as we all know, but one would think that by your 40s you would have least settled in and accepted it. I hope that they have found self-acceptance.

Where are they now? Still thinking they're men?

I only know a few of them now. Inevitably, that circle splintered as they kept coming to LGB events while insisting they were men, not lesbians, and their lesbian partners were told to call themselves bi or straight - it was a hot fucking mess.

But I know one has detransitioned, one seems to be doing so without calling it that, and one is still with her original GF and "living as a man."

Internalized homophobia? Maybe thinking life would just be easier that way?
