Leave at as an example for people. If your partner transitions your best option is to leave immediately and don't ever look back. Any of your friends who give you shit for it are not your friends.

I really don't understand anyone who doesn't leave, even without their partner doesn't immediately become a raging asshole. It's one thing to suddenly decide you were a woman and you'd always been one. It's entirely different to spring that on your unsuspecting partner, demanding her to forget your name and your life as a man, refer to you with different pronouns and think of herself as a lesbian to validate you. It's beyond me how anyone's default reaction in this situation isn't 'It's nice that you found yourself, but I haven't signed up for this. It's over."

Depends on how entrenched you are socially with them I think. A lot of people don't want to lose a job/entire friend group and so on. There does often feel like there's an element of social coercion going on.
