      My first thought is that it’s misogyny. There are certainly people think that women exist to reproduce. However, I thought the generally accepted definition for “geriatric” in obgyn was 35. I’m not sure why 28 would be the cut off. Maybe that’s when women start to lose their sexual appeal to those men? The flip side of course is that men have infinite potential so 28 is just the start.

      I do agree that transitioning ticks all the boxes without footnotes.

      He is saying a woman’s value is only linked to her looks while a man’s value is linked to his status (money). At 28, a person’s age starts to show (ending for woman) while their career is probably beginning to take off (starting for men).

      It’s obviously a disgusting comment.

      I think maybe the twitter post implies that they were a couple and broke up and the man starts to live again (because freed ?) but the woman doesn’t ??
