Reminds of this one from a while back:
It wasn’t “someone” but the very great video essayist Alexander Avila, who himself is ftm. He made an excellent case and it’s quite the fun watch: https://youtu.be/uox4OMC50-4
Doesn’t matter who said it. Black people say shit about other black people all the time that would be taken down in an instant, because it’s not alright.
You don’t get a magic pass to insult all trans people because you heard a trans person do it.

Clavicular isn’t actually trans. He’s a mentally ill conservative grifter, and calling him a “Male to Male Transsexual” is a philosophical point more than anything.

I have you tagged as “JK Rowling Bootlicker” so I have a feeling you’re not exactly acting in the best faith here.
The entire point is that mocking someone for “looking trans” is wrong regardless. Perhaps you should spend less energy trying to find what in your mind you see as justification to hate others and spend more worried about how to not do that.

I agree, but I don’t see anyone doing this. Not the person you responded to, nor the meme in this post.
Yeah I’m seeing it fsr more as us mocking him from managing to have gender dysmorphia without even starting from dysphoria
That makes sense, because dysphoria is a thing that you can see on a person.
Sure, it’s a post celebrating him for his bravery and cheering him on.

He asks the question whether or not looksmaxing is gender affirming care and compares the two in a scientific and well-researched manner. Is research and philosophy “not alright”?
This meme is not research. Technically you could consider virtually all plastic surgery to be gender affirming care. Does that make things like this alright? No. Of course it doesn’t.
Actually I have a magic pass to insult whoever the hell I want
Having a lot of anger inside because of a very small penis or some other personal problem doesn’t actually give you a pass to insult others. Trust me, I know it hurts, but it’s not okay to take that hurt out on others.
I already blocked you. The comments are just so that others can make fun of you
In my experience strong allyship comes from people who do not speak loudly on other people’s behalf, but mostly listen
Y’know I see it. All love to my trans homies, but fuck man, I see it.

It’s just a different focal length
This. Aside from the lips and eyebrows, it’s the only real difference.

There should be a male movie version of “The Substance”, specifically targetting the toxic idea of looksmaxxing.
“IT PUTS THE FUCKING LOTION IN THE BASKET!!!”
IT PUTS THE LOTION ON IT’S SKIN BECAUSE HOLY FUCK IT NEEDS IT!
This seems a bit backwards. The minute we decide we don’t like someone we feel justified in using gendered or racial slurs against them. Malania Trump, KLAN, any woman whose actions seem against what we deem to be acceptable, even if we know they’re very likely sex trafficking victims, doesn’t just get called a bad person, they get called bitches and whores and the like. Clarence Thomas gets called the house negro.
Now we’re going to start in on making fun of the looks of trans people because of this asshole?
Why do so many people seem so eager to use terms and make fun of things we don’t find socially acceptable to make fun of the minute a person crosses the line? Not liking a person doesn’t make insulting them for those specific things any better.
I’m really curious about the thought process behind all the up votes. I hope it’s not “He do look trans, how goofy har har.”
The “no bad tactics, only bad targets” mentality on display is always gross to see.
There are many reasons to dislike clavicular, but focus on the harms he causes rather than taking lazy shots about his looks, especially if there are trans people down range.
Are you trying to argue Clarence Thomas isn’t a House Nigga? Good look with that shit my man, good luck. Call me and tell me how it went.
Actually don’t call me ever again.
Using the actual shit people say when they feel it would be socially justified to attack black folk in general would get me banned. That’s part of the point. It’s shit everyone agrees is awful and racist to use as insults and then turns around and uses on anyone they disagree with anyway.
I ain’t got nothing against people of any colour, creed or language in general, but Clarence fucking Thomas is THE motherfucking exception. I wouldn’t piss on his smouldering corpse if it tried to give me a 50, ya hear me?
Fuck that guy with a bucket load of caltrops man. Fuck you too, just in case.
Which is the after?
The one that looks like it went through a press.
Transphobic ass meme. The guy’s a cunt, don’t need to denigrate trans people to point that out.
See, I dont think so. (Ok I agree on the cunt part, also add insufferable)
Because I know a lot of bodybuilders, guys who are on the gear and they are almost all SUPER accepting of the trans community (or at least peoples rights to do what they want with their bodies) because they get it. You look in the mirror and it isnt right so they take the chemicals to make the outside look like the inside.
To point out that this guy is probably going through a very similar mental process (with added cuntery) is probably more accurate than the trans community and the male looksmaxxing community would like. The part that I’d disagree with is that he is “the first”. Not even fucking close.
It’s flat out saying someone “looks trans”, which in and of itself is inaccurate and insulting, but it does it because he looks goofy now, which is doubly insulting.
The post has nothing to do with him having or not having dysphoria.
539 up votes, 38 down votes for the post, 11 and 9 for your comment. This is how tolerant Lemmy actually is. It’s tribalism, not actual tolerance. The minute most people feel it’s socially acceptable to spew hate on something, they’re happy to do it.
I’m happy to spew some on you, all right. All night long.
Well, you seem to be a racist, so that’s hardly surprising. Blocking you now.
