I'm honestly happy that these two are happy together but... ma'am, you are still straight.

There is something that really irks me about "a lesbian" who has never been attracted to a woman, but has been attracted to a man enough to marry him and follow him to crazy-town.

You never see straight men say how they were "really gay all along" when their female partner comes out as a transman. I feel like there's some underlying socialization here...maybe...

I've been noticing this in general. Tons of middle aged dads coming out as trans women. Basically no middle aged moms doing the same. Why is it? Is it really just a fetish for the men (AGP)? Does childbirth make a woman kinda get a hint that biological sex does matter? Are there middle aged moms who want to go live as men but are socialized to put their family first so they don't get the idea of divorcing and running off and spending their entire income on hormones and surgeries?

Maybe a combination of it all. That Trans Widows thread on Mumsnet seems to have a common theme of husbands transitioning when all the attention is on the wife during pregnancy and the kids after pregnancy, like a last ditch attention grab.

Personally I think a huge amount of it is AGP and not much else, but that's just me.

One of our (Male) county commissioners transitioned a couple years ago. No idea why but it sure seems bizarre. And no he doesn't pass at all(er, she... whatever).

Yes.

Seriously, I just read a story on AITA (so you never know if it's fact or fiction) where a dad came out as gay after many years of marriage and 5 children and wished for a divorce (post was written by the 16 y/o son) and even that gay dad would have been like LOL WTF? If his wife suddenly said "Surpriiise! I've been trans this whole time! Time for me to transition IRL so we can be gay husbands together!" He'd just be like "Honey... I'm gay, but not for you." Even legit gay men hiding in straight marriages wouldn't be down for this. IDK... Am I wrong?

I think (most) men of any orientation would be able to say they're not interested. Women tend to either turn full emotional support object for their partner or come up with an "acceptable" reason to leave, like saying they're "not lesbians."

There was a show, Lost in Transition I think, where you watch these women struggle with these obviously miserable relationships. Sad but common it seems.

The women in these scenarios are generally codependent types lacking identity (ironically)/sense of self.

Wow, a straight girl dating a male? shocked.

Congrats to her, she still gets to keep her straightest straight title.

"gained two wardrobes" = my partner spends all our money on sissy maid and schoolgirl costumes, probably.

I strongly suspect this poster is actually a TRA.

The intent of the post is to advance the argument that sexuality is a preference not an orientation. (Geez, we dealt with this issue already in the 1980s.)

I find the the phrase "The Straightest Straight who Ever Straighted" to sound like something made up by someone who is not straight. What heterosexual perceives their sexuality as "straighting"? To them, they are the default, not the minority-- they are in their eyes "normal"; they wouldn't define themselves by using a term that compares them to minority sexualities, if you follow my drift.

Part of me wondered if maybe they were trans - simply for the 'gained two wardrobes' remark but the name was deleted so I couldn't check.

Ah, yes. The infamous "lesbian" who has never been attracted to a female, but liked it when her n-th boyfriend grew his hair out. I've seen them around.

When I came out as a lesbian to my brother he immediately launched into a spiel about how he is supportive and non-judgmental of gay and trans people, how his male friend once kissed a guy (??? OK), and how he has a lesbian couple friend made up of a woman and a trans woman. I had to stop him in his tracks and let him know that under no circumstances is he ever to mention the fact that I'm a lesbian to this "lesbian couple" and that I have nothing in common with a heterosexual role-playing as lesbians. After seeing so many posts like this, this is what I imagine they're like. They may otherwise be wonderful people, but they are harming lesbian, gay, and bisexual people and our public perception with this LARPing.

I was married to a guy when I came to terms with being a lesbian, and he was and still is a great guy. Nothing he did or didn't do ever factored into my self-realization and acceptance of my sexual orientation. If his actions or how I feel about the actions of any man were a factor, then it wouldn't be about my sexual orientation then, would it? Other people's actions have no ability to affect my sexual orientation. It's not a choice or a lifestyle move, goddamnit.
