That Gay Thread

[Rev. Rye]

A man, who allegedly murdered four members of his family in Vijay Nagar Colony in Rohtak, on August 27, has now made fresh revelations, according to sources. Rohtak DSP Gorakhpal Rana on Sunday said that the killer, Abhishek, confessed to killing four people. He had shot his parents, sister and grandmother, because they opposed his homosexual relationship and his plans to undergo a gender change surgery, The Times of India reported.

I legit don't know if having a sex change is going to make things better or worse for a gay relationship. The fact that, in many cases, trans folk have it even worse than gay people aside, isn't it possible that the one who stayed the same gender is going to think "okay, my lover is now a woman and my attraction to them is steadily declining" and the one who changed regretting being a woman when they would have been happier cisgender?

Admittedly, I have seen movies where this is a thing (Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Ed Wood, and maybe Boys Don't Cry if Brandon Teena wasn't actually trans, a possibility that I'm currently something like 30-70 split on [with the trans option being the 70, since that's functionally how he lived]), and since a few of them were supposedly based on real events, I suppose some people tried it, but this seems like an impractical option to me, unless, of course, they actually do feel like they were assigned the wrong gender at birth.
