Can confirm. An old friend of mine who is getting divorced about 20 years and 4 screwed up kids too late informed me a few months ago that his oldest child (daughter) is transitioning to a man. Obviously he's not happy but given that his daughter is 23, he's trying to talk her out of it while still being mildly supportive.
I checked his soon to be ex-wife's social media accounts and her identity now begins and ends at "mother of trans child" despite this "child" being 23 years old.
Bear in mind, this woman was once a Christian who attended church every Sunday and regularly went to bible study. That is all gone now as she views the church as an enemy because it doesn't embrace her new identity as a "trans parent".
It's sickening to watch the desperate need for attention (and to fill some existential hole in their being) override being a good parent to their child.
