This is one of those times where it's believably stupid, like the 'I quit my job (over Zoom) because of mask mandates' kinda thing. If it's being fabricated for laughs, then they fabricated something exactly stupid enough to believe actually happened. There's no part of this story I don't buy.

This isn't exactly an answer to your question, but Project Chanology led to a bunch of real-world protests in 2008. Please ignore the 2009 bits:

On January 8, 2009, an 18-year-old male member of Anonymous ran into the New York Scientology building shirtless and covered with Vaseline, pubic hair, and toenail clippings.

gender reassignment surgeries aren't a reason for a divorce, op is a dipshit and a transphobe

e: like getting divorced because your partner turns out to be a different person/different gender than you thought they were when you married them, sure, that happens and it's valid (but it sucks! for everyone!) but getting your bits reconfigured is just a part of that, not The Actual Divorce Reason

I mean, you can pretty easily see a couple getting divorced if one of them decides to transition and the other isn't enthused by the idea.

e. Saw your edit. Now I am also making an edit, to say "yes agreed."

I have been acquainted with at least one person that had a relationship end because transition was going to lead to sexual incompatibility. Like, the separation was 100% on good terms, but the reassignment and resulting stuff was very specifically the reason for it. I'm not saying that's what happened here, but I want to clear up that if anyone expresses that scenario in earnest, there may be an edge case to consider and calling them an all-out transphobe might not be warranted.

People are shallow enough to get divorced because their partner didn't walk the dog enough. They are lots of people that would get divorced because their partners fun bits changed.

Yeah, and it's not like you can saunter off suddenly for bottom surgery willy-nilly (or just -nilly) It's a long process and even where informed consent is the norm there are still hurdles that you have to jump through.

Edge is actually good these days because it's literally just Microsoft-branded Chrome. It uses exactly the same engine under the hood after Microsoft realized it was a waste of money for them to keep writing their own engine for under 5% of the market. While I main Firefox, I use Edge whenever my ad blocking and privacy add-ons break a site and I don't want to spend the time figuring out what I need to change to get it working.

i think the main part of it is that bottom surgery doesn't magically cause divorce to happen. some people are good with that and stay together before during and after it, when you sign the "yes invert my junk" form it doesn't have a "you are automatically de-spoused" clause included in it.

the transphobic part is only referring to the surgery. say you split due to transition fine, don't say well my marriage became over because of THE GENITAL. hey have you thought about my ex's private parts yet? because you have to.

It's also an extremely cis person thing to think "The Surgery" is like the #1 quintessential aspect of transition, and that GRS and transitioning are one and the same.
So there's a good chance Hadi there is saying a divorce was caused by "gender reassignment surgery" when he really means it was caused by the person coming out as trans in general.

Definitely, but it's probably because at that point Denial breaks and, for some, Anger is all that's left.

This shits me so much.

These women are saying "Boohoo I don't want my husband to become a woman because then I will be married to a woman thus making me a lesbian. I would much rather my husband live a life of misery and pain, stuck in a gender that they do not feel they are. I care that little about my husband of 10+ years wellbeing that I will sentence them to living a lie that causes them immense emotional distress, just so I can avoid some social embarrassment "

gently caress that.

I could see someone thinking they're okay staying together during social parts of transition, and then turns out they just aren't attracted to the physical changes, whether it be top or bottom surgery, or the effects of hormones. Someone can mentally think "Sure, I'm okay with this" and then whoops nope turns out just entirely physically not into that.

The tweet doesn't get the benefit of the doubt, but I really absolutely could see it happening. Sexual attraction is an important part of relationships to many people, and they can't change their own sexuality just because their partner transitions.
