A situation like this was one of my first exposures to "gay FTM" stuff, and the early phase of my peaking. Two of my roommates got married. She transitioned after I moved out, but I was exposed to the concept of "my husband is being difficult and won't accept the fact that he has always been gay, what with my being a man and all." The hidden identity that she carried inside herself was supposed to trump all reality, meaning that even when she gave no hint of it, SHE WAS ALWAYS A MAN, and the man she was in a relationship was gay since he had willingly entered a relationship with a "man." He divorced her ass.

The final straw was her posting links to thinkpieces on trans dating being a necessary component of allyship, and watching her tear into a black FB friend, saying she "of all people" ought to know better than to say that it was wrong to tell people they were bigots for not dating a transman.

A very eye opening experience.

I cut contact years ago. She was always unstable, but way too difficult to deal with. I was a very trans supportive person when she came out, so my naive thought was "OK! So that's what was holding her--I mean HIM--back!" No. The sadness, anger, and turmoil just became even more destructive. I think she finally did feel empowered, in part because the hormones, and in part because she finally felt she was part of something people would have to pay attention to: the "Queer Community."
