I don't know if it is made up, obviously, but if you read the Transwidow Escape committee threads here on Mumsnet a lot of the posters talk about their former husbands expecting to get a lot of girlfriends as soon as they have transitioned, and that their life will start to consist of lunches with the girlfriends, shopping with girlfriends and swapping clothes with girlfriends etc.
Funnily, they never find their lives should start to include doing more of the emotional load or more of the household chores.
