Which, thank goodness Macie and Megan are taking a break. They looked totally miserable together. The whole final scene where Macie and Megan were reading "I love you" notes and Macie was talking to the camera about being in love with the person underneath, they both came off like they were trying to convince themselves. Macie's cousin was like, "Megan seems so much happier now," but if that's true, then Tyler must have been a ball of depression.

Macie claims that she's attracted to women now, which...hey, I can't claim to be an expert on her life, but my straight-dar was SCREAMING the whole episode, especially when they were at Pride. When she said she was sacrificing her happiness for Megan's, well, that's a red flag for any marriage, but if you like girls, why would you be sacrificing your happiness by being with Megan? It's OK to be straight, too, and it's OK to want a marriage that's sexually satisfying to you, and breaking up would not mean that you're transphobic. You can love someone for who they are inside and not want to be married to them.

No, Megan, I don't think that trans people are selfish as a group, but I do think you were taking advantage of Macie. You clearly knew about this before you got married. Yeah, you're in rural Iowa, but it's also the 2010s. Maybe you wanted to make sure you'd have a family member to help you through your transition, and you couldn't count on your parents.
