From Loved to Lonely: When Transition Pushes People Away | Reddit Wednesday

Today’s Reddit Wednesday explores stories of identity, attraction, and the hard truths that emerge when validation fades. What happens when you change — or transition — and the people who once supported you begin to pull away?

We look at:
• A trans man who “passes” but regrets the trade-offs
• A trans woman told she passes by friends but not by strangers
• A post-op trans woman who feels discarded by partners after surgery

These are real posts with real emotions — and they reveal just how fragile love and identity can feel when it’s rooted in perception.

💬 Leave a comment — do you think these people transitioned for the right reasons? Did their partners fetishize them? Was this all about validation?
