I’m a gay guy and I was in a relationship with someone for 10 years who came out as transgender and it ended our romantic/sexual relationship, though we’re still best friends and still live together even. If you haven’t experienced it I don’t really think you can understand how it feels to have a relationship end in this way - not because you stopped loving eachother or because you argued or anything like that, but just because someone’s gender identity or sexuality changed.
It’s sad, yes, but it’s also kind of happy, because you want your partner to self-actualise and become the person they truly want to be.
I’m assuming this scenario happened to someone in the real world, and I don’t think you should be telling them that they’re basically wrong for feeling this way about it.
