It's making it out like such a revelation wouldn't be damaging. Being a single woman and not being young is not easy. Her taking it in stride like that is unrealistic.

Ask yourself how you would feel in that situation after investing years in a relationship. Would you be that thrilled to be on the dating scene again and having to start over with someone new?

Not saying it couldn't be amicable like it has been portrayed, but this strip makes it out like there is nothing sad or difficult about the situation, only focusing on the perspective/agenda of the trans person.

The person you expect to be sad also wanted to end the relationship because they realized they wanted children and were married to someone who didn't. It isn't just about the perspective/agenda of the trans person.

If I was faced with a choice between breaking someone who I loved's heart or never being a mother, it would be relieving to have that no longer be weighing on me.
