When someone comes out as trans people often claim they need to grieve, and it's so weird and messed up. You come out and say, "I am finally ready to live as me and be happy," and they say, "This is so sad."
Not only does it make this about them when it should be about the trans person but it's so weird to think that someone telling you who they are means that the person you thought they were, just died. Parents sometimes mourn for their living kids (eg. when they come out as not-straight or trans, or when they learn that the kid is neurodivergent) and I wish they would stop, new information does not equal a funeral.
