And now she can't just break it off because he'll accuse her of transphobia and have the powers that be come down upon and destroy her.

This despite the fact that he's soon going to leave her anyway, and go cruising for gay tranny cock.

[EDIT]

Just saw that the article quietly ends with 'Seven months on, I am proud of my ex'. The reason she's allowed to to get away with 'misgendering' him through the entire article ('their' is as close to 'she' as the author deigns to go) is because she ultimately acquiesces and writes about how beautiful it is that 'they' are now 'their authentic self'.

I have a feeling.

And that feeling is that this woman is (justifiably) very bitter about her boyfriend's descent into faggotry. She has every right to be - a ten year relationship that started in university? So the entirety of her 20's are gone. This man just wasted the most important decade of her life - her window of peak fertility. He leaves her close to or perhaps even over 30, single, childless, alone, the relationship they built, destroyed.

Amazingly, she even admits her rage, and the Guardian have published it;

He mentioned hormones with earth-shattering nonchalance, saying he’d wait a year to see how he felt about the superficial stuff – clothes, piercings, hair – then make a decision. I read that oestrogen can make a man infertile in as little as six months. Six months! I had desperately wanted his child, though the impulse was quickly supplanted by a surge of uninspired rage. If I can’t have his baby, then no one should be able to. And so I silently willed him to start taking the hormones as soon as medical signoff would allow, a biting form of closure.

I don't think she has made peace with with him.

I think this article is phony, and part of her revenge plot - her revenge of encouraging and supporting his self-destruction at full speed. She wants to watch every second his descent, and she intends to be praised as an ally while she does it.
