      I believe i remember that he’s actually pro trans, or peoples’ right to transition, but it comes from his negative views on beauty and body image. He’s like a “everyone unattractive should get surgery and if you’re really unattractive get sex surgery.” I think that’s harmful, and just dumb.

        That’s the stupidest shit (what clav said about transition being beauty care).

        Nobody can see that you’ve had bottom surgery when your clothes are on, if you want to wear something revealing you can tuck or pack.

        Clavicular, Andrew Tate, Nick Fuentes etc are self-loathing gay dudes.

          clav is pretty obvious, since thiel created his persona to push a manosphere grifter into the limelight. plus thiel likely also take some of clavicular blood from time to time to.

          Cis women who are not “traditionally feminine” are often the ones who are on the other side of the “looks trans” comments, meaning once again a veiled attempt at “protecting” women (TERFs) victimizes them.

            That may be true but it doesn’t impact whether or not such a “look” exists. The intent of the person pointing something out is not relevant to the existence of the thing being described.

              And my point is that it doesn’t exist. Many people that “transvestigators” think “look trans” are actually cis women. Or in the case of this post, a cis man. Saying someone “looks trans” is transphobic and not based on anything of value.

                You are welcome to your own interpretation of the world but I think most people would agree that there is a common set of characteristics associated with any kind of surgical or hormonal body modification. You are right when you say that some trans people exhibit those characteristics more than others but they definitely exist. You don’t have to ignore that reality to avoid being bigoted towards trans people.

                  So do you not see any irony that we’re talking about a cis man who has had surgical modifications and people are saying he “looks trans”? Do you not see how that undercuts your point at all?

                    The statement you quoted is the most general statement I made. It was worded that way precisely because this phenomenon is not exclusive to trans people. That’s just how the topic came up.

                    So no, it makes no difference that this guy isn’t trans because that’s only one subset of visible characteristics brought on by body modification that we’re talking about. There are many other kinds, some of which definitely apply to him.
