Grace Lavery (powerlevel: Joseph Lavery) and Daniel Lavery (powerlevel: Mallory Ortberg) are a straight couple comprised by, respectively, an autogynephile transwoman and a self-hating, possibly autistic, gender non-conforming woman turned transman. Ortberg and Lavery both post prolifically on social media, where Ortberg has the much larger following, but Lavery is the really compelling troon in the situation, having all the trappings of a narcissist.
In 2017, Lavery met Ortberg online, got her into his thrall, and trooned out within about a year of meeting in real life. Mallory trooned out as well, chopping off her tits in 2018. They got married in 2019 (according to Lavery's vows, in the hope they could "avoid dwindling into mere heterosexuality").
Lavery, already estranged from his own family, convinced Mallory to publicly cut ties with her family as well. They abruptly moved to NYC to get away from Mallory's family in the Bay Area. Before the pandemic, Lavery commuted weekly to Berkeley for his classes, in spite of TSA's twansphobia reducing him to tears.
A few days before their wedding ceremony, they both announced on social media Ortberg was cutting contact definitely with her family while withholding the actual reason. That surprised a lot of people who followed Ortberg prior to her relationship to Lavery, since she used to be close to her family, and they were acceptive of her transition (in spite of being evangelical).
The couple milked the mystery for all it was worth (Lavery even bragged the drama increased the number of subscribers to his paywalled blog) until it was revealed that Mallory's father, John Ortberg, a prominent pastor, allowed a self- admitted pedophile to "treat" himself by doing volunteer work with children, including chaperoning them overnight. When Mallory and Lavery suggested that the pedophile go to therapy, John Ortberg said they were not qualified to suggest treatment because they're troons.
Mallory decided to cut ties with her entire family (father, mother, and sister) after making the discovery that said pedophile was her own brother. As you'd expect from an autogynephile transwoman, Lavery decided to support Mallory through his very difficult decision in her life by posting Twitter selfies complaining about HIS MENSTRUAL CRAMPS:
While Ortberg and Lavery are eager to represent themselves as a queer, sex-positive couple in social media with post-coital selfies, their sex life fulfills one of the most infamous straight couple stereotypes: a deeply unsatisfied woman who humiliates herself for her man's pleasure...
...while he can't be arsed to even pay attention to her needs during intercourse., dreamily meditating about transmisogyny while his wife sucks his dick:
(by the way, this happened on their very first night as a married couple)
...pressures her into sexual acts she wouldn't normally partake in before:
...and conveniently demotes her to just a "sex partner" instead of spouse:
Lavery likes to compare his relationship to Mallory with Yoko Ono and John Lennon's relationship. Since their marriage half a century ago, Ono has been often accused of destroying the ex-Beatle's career by deliberately isolating him from his bandmates and killing his creative output. Again on a blogpost, Lavery brags about ruining the arguably more successful Ortberg (and alienating her even further, this time from her fans) with a combination of (supposedly consensual) verbal, physical and sexual abuse:

The couple lives in Carroll Gardens, an affluent neighborhood in NYC, in a very spacious house, but it's especulated that the couple still has access to a previous address closer to his workplace in Berkeley, California.
Deadname: Mallory Ortberg | DOB: November 28, 1986 | Wikipedia page | Instagram | Twitter
Awkward-looking and probably autistic, Ortberg used to write cutesy clever shit for women's websites The Hairpin and The Toast. She currently writes Slate's Dear Prudence advice column. While Ortberg was never known for giving particularly sensible advice, she's become worse at it thanks to Lavery's influence, seeing even the most mundane requests under a fetishistic lens:
Mallory might have had some buyer's remorse with her transition since in March, 2020, she changed her pronouns from he/him to they/them and stopped taking testosterone, which is too little, too late since she already had her breasts surgically removed.
Regarding her motives for trooning out, our very own @Safir offers her helpful analysis:
Since @NerdShamer pointed out the massive amount of autism on her Wikipedia page (archive) about the ethics of including pre-transition pics, now I'm including pre-transition pics. It turns out she was actually cute and could have found a much better partner than an ugly British coomer:
Deadname: Joseph Lavery | DOB: March 17, 1983 | Twitter | Instagram
Lavery is a tenured English professor at Berkeley (which allows him to behave unprofessionally under the guise of fighting for women's rights), making about 100 grand (thanks to @Crunchy Leaf for the info). He is a former alcoholic, and as many troons, is emotionally crippled both by daddy and mommy issues. So instead of "becoming the girlfriend" like other troons, Lavery transitioned to become his own mother (see previous link).
Speaking of his Oedipal complex, he believes his previous mothers-in-law (Ortberg is his 4th spouse) were attracted to him, and describes himself in one of his blog posts as "a dicktease for moms":
Sure enough, he's an autogynephile (the kind of man who troons out because he's sexually attracted to himself when he crossdresses):
Since narcissists get bored easily and according to Lavery himself the only thing that doesn't make him bored is sexual degeneracy, he created a project for these times of self-isolation: the BUNKERSLUTS, an Instagram page for ugly, unattractive exhibitionists to expose themselves and provide Lavery with narcissistic supply:
Here are some of Joe's pre-transition pictures. Notice how, in the words of our very own @Potatis Salad (soon you'll see why I'm quoting this), "he had a certain creepy, pathetic, miserable, desperate je ne sais quoi back then":
As expected from lolcows, Lavery doesn't respond well to criticism. Joe's façade of self-confidence crumbles as soon as people criticize his Buffalo Bill-looking ass, giving place to one of self-doubt (yes, he visits Kiwi Farms):
Shortly after, though, he proves his detractors right:
He also sends porn to women who cause him narcissistic injury, involving them non-consensually in his fetishes, and is fond of accusing anything short of relentless ass-kissing as "transmisogyny".

Cow crossovers
- Lavery claims responsibility for Glinner being banned by Twitter because Glinner called him a groomer.
- Joe is has threatened to sue journalist Jesse Singal. While Singal isn't a cow himself, he is a huge cow magnet, having attracted the negative attention of most of the Rat King.
- After they accept the Substack deal trannies weren't supposed to accept, the Laveries attracted the ire of fellow lolcow Sady Doyle, who turned down a similar deal to try to force Substack to ban authors troons don't like, such as Glinner.
