I feel so bad for them. There's stories online of "trans widows" and they're all so depressing. The man "comes out" as female usually during a time when the woman is getting more attention (pregnancy/childbirth) and almost universally focus on a fetishized version of "womanhood" with garters and lacy lingerie, and never actually engage in the less pleasant sides of "womanhood" like taking care of kids or doing chores. But by the time you've had a child with a man you're in so deep that divorce can be a terrifying idea, then combine that with women being socialized to a nurturing/caretaker role, so they spend all this time coddling their husband's feelings and showing him how to apply makeup and shit. It honestly sounds almost even worse than those women that marry inmates or NEETs that play video games all day. The martyr complex involved.

Even the first comment in the thread is talking about how they're a dude that decided to come out as a woman right after his third daughter was born. It's phrased like they are related and it's freaking me out 😷
