Discussion: Mid-Life Crisis? Why Do Middle Aged Men/women "suddenly" Come Out?

[CausticTears]

If a middle aged heterosexually married woman/man decides to get divorced because she/he realizes she wants to be with someone of their own sex: what do you think could be some possible reasonings? Hormones? Were they gay from the start? Did they get curious? Mid-life crisis?



I personally think they were gay from the "start" and were simply trying to fit into "traditional" societies norms. I think they are coming out now more than ever because society is beginning to make it OK!

one of my male guy friends when he hit his 30's suddenly decided to go through a sex change. He is sill attracted to women, but decided out of no where that he wanted to become a woman. His wife left him, and his kids refuse to speak to him out of embarrassment.



When it came up in a convo why he did it, he said "I never felt right as a man. This is the first time in my life that I have felt correct."



I also believe it is something that is with you from the beginning, but is refused to be looked at because of fear.
