This woman doesn;t realize that her husband is cheating on her. Not with another person as far as we know, but with a movement/ideology/mental illness. It takes up all his time, energy and emotional resources. He is in love with the idea of being trans, so he devotes everything he has to it and is cutting the wife off and neglecting her, just as people in affairs tend to do. I wish more people would hear "I'm transitioning" and instantly respond with "Well, we're divorcing." This is no longer the person she fell in love with, it is obvious for the world to see.

Many AGP wives seem to have histories of mental health issues or abuse that makes them vulnerable to this kind of emotional manipulation. I highly doubt that this AGP was a stand-up guy before he suddenly transitioned. Plus, everyone tells them that it's their job to support their spouse or else they're an evil TrANsPhObE. I imagine that's what this person is being told on Reddit. They may not have the means to divorce or to cope as a single parent.

I think this is a brilliant way to put it.
