Feminism: Sex and gender discussions

Mine couldn't. If my husband announced he was trans I would divorce him asap.

AGodawfulsmallaffair · 27/06/2024 15:21

I’d be off in a fucking shot. Actually no, he would be.

PTSDBarbiegirl · 27/06/2024 15:23

Nope, he'd be a deceitful bastard that I'd no longer trust. Goodbye.

Karool · 27/06/2024 15:26

That would be the end of the relationship for me.

DialSquare · 27/06/2024 15:27

My long term relationship wouldn't survive the enormous turn off.

UpThePankhurst · 27/06/2024 15:29

I'd think it's unique to the two people involved. It's obviously not always going to be all joy, rainbows, glitter and huge grins, there are some heavy downsides for the woman who is not the one making the changes and choices, and that's ok and needs to be ok to talk about without it being framed as too threatening to the man. And women who are not ok need to be able to end the marriage and leave.

This is rather like an article going 'I'm thrilled to pull my knickers down in an enclosed space next to anyone of any sex who happens to walk in!' with the subtext of (and there's something wrong with women who aren't, and they shouldn't be considered or heard.) Because in essence, that bit of reality is too threatening for some men to be permitted.

This from a movement that witters ceaselessly about how wonderful 'authenticity' is. (But only some people's authenticity.)

Meadowwild · 27/06/2024 15:30

Some might. Mine wouldn't. I'd want to stay friends because DH and I get on well, but only if the friendship continued to be about our shared interests, not if it was all about transing. That would bore me rigid.

Everyone is different ! But no most people are not going to survive this.

StealthSpinach · 27/06/2024 15:45

Mine wouldn’t, partly as I wouldn’t know what else he would be deluded/lying about.

OneRingToRuleThemAll · 27/06/2024 15:51

ExH transitioned. It wasn't THE reason for splitting, but in hindsight it was one of many, many reasons I could have left before I snapped.

As a jaded middle aged cynic, I look around at friends and colleagues, and have come to the conclusion that many people stay in mediocre or outright bad relationships out of fear of being single and all that entails in terms of finances, logistics and status. Invariably it's women excusing shit male partner behaviour and putting all the effort in.

This is backed up by the website stats in that article; vast majority of users are women seeking advice on "negotiating Mothers Day" (JFC). Tiny percentage of men; presumably the rest are busy having fun larping.

I would indulge my bloke as a transwoman for one day, for the sheer comedy value, then would be packing up my dignity and self respect and leaving.

"The couple also bond over experiences Sophia previously denied herself because of notions about masculinity — musicals, flowers."
But absolutely not about gender stéréotypes at all. O rly.

No. It’s never a pretty man is it ?

LunaNorth · 27/06/2024 16:20

God no. Wtf. DH would look absolutely fucking ridiculous. My fanny would crawl up itself in horror. The very idea. Jesus.

Livinginaclock · 27/06/2024 16:21

Not A Chance.

LunaNorth · 27/06/2024 16:26

Those photos.

It’s not exactly hard to spot who’s who, is it?

CaptainOliviaBenson · 27/06/2024 16:27

Mine absolutely wouldn't as he wouldn't be the person I thought he was, (he's as GC as I am).

Maddy70 · 27/06/2024 16:28

Ita entirely unique to the couple.

My fanny would crawl up itself in horror
Best quote of the day!

Livinginaclock · 27/06/2024 17:46

It's not necessarily the dresses that would get me, though they are fanny closers, it's the belief that they are a woman, and the sheer entitlement
No, just no.

This is such a difficult question until your in the position and trying to keep a family together. My closest friends husband transitioned in her desperation to keep her very young family together my friend tried to live with it and they tried to only do it in privacy unfortunately it wasn't enough for him and she couldn't be with her husband anymore before she was in the position she would have been a no chance even at home type of person but she was desperate to keep her family together.

God the selfishness. As long as he gets to get off, everyone else is good to suffer.
