A woman leaves her husband to live and die “as a gay man.” She’s been lionized for her stunning bravery in places such as the New York Times, but long-time readers will recognize the tropes we see again and again in FTMs:
* Self-mutilation is for some reason a major life priority.
* Getting men’s health problems is validating
* But the fourth ball stayed in!
* Necrotic bottom surgery
* A trans widower
* lack of regret despite obvious harms
* questionable social behavior such as gloating to past doctors about her impending death.
