People with such a disphoria most likely won’t be happy after such a dangerous injection of a neurotoxin. Probably even the opposite and leading to more and more “corrections”. yet the actual self will never align with the self one imagines one has to be. A downward spiral OR maybe, if lucky, a botched experiment never to be repeated.
So, all I, personally, can see in those people is the sadness or even true despair. Surely not beauty. Not in the slightest. At best I see beauty in their public display of insecurity or weakness.
And besides that: people form prejudgment all the time about everything, and it’s a great evolutionarily trait that gave us an edge up to this day. Being able to deduct something based on the thinnest of evidence. And further strengthening or weakening this judgment by gathering additional evidence over time. This is NOT an inherently bad thing by itself. It becomes a bad thing if people stick to their initial prejudgment and could never be taught better. May it be out of ignorance, apathy or sheer stupidity. Then prejudice is the actual bad thing that this word always seem to connotate.
It’s one thing to try and be beautiful, say by putting on makeup. It’s another entirely to worship beauty so much that you inject a deadly neurotoxin into your face (often with disastrous results) for it. And this is often done by actors, literally people paid in large part for their existing beauty.
It making them happy (which I doubt) doesn’t mean it’s safe, and doesn’t mean that they have good values.
We shouldn’t judge people for doing things to themselves that makes them happy. If someone wants Botox who are you to judge.

So according to you, gender affirming surgeries do not lead to relief?

They can do whatever the hell they want, but so can I. And what I want to do is point and laugh.
exactly, it’s bodily autonomy at the end of the day
hot take, but bodily autonomy also includes things you (or i) disapprove of!
