    “Of course almost all models, especially agent models and Victoria secret models are mostly [trans women],” one wrote.

    “All the hot women are secretly trans.”

    My kingdom for their therapist’s notes.

      If I said that they’d call me a delusional [slur] and say I should be locked up.

      But this idea originates in one of the most batshit academic texts of the late 20th century: “The Transsexual Empire” by Janice Raymond (former advisor to the US Congress on trans issues). In it among her claims are basically that amab people are better at everything than afab people including being attractive and desirable women. She also believes this to be a problem and proposes more or less the total elimination of trans people from the public sphere. It’s not a fun crazy book, it’s a “I’ve fallen down the rabbit hole of hate and will attempt to bring others with me” book.

      Like yeah some trans women are really hot, and modeling often prioritizes bodies that have traits we’re more likely to have like prominent faces, abnormal tallness, and an anorexic shape. But firstly, that’s fashion modeling that prefers that body type, and second historically you’ve had to have gone stealth to a degree that’s nearly impossible these days to get one of those jobs while trans.

      These people are really uncomfortable with the reality that some trans people look cis (and some cis people routinely get mistaken for trans) and have entered a level of delusion that I honestly struggle to comprehend.

        Isn’t the logical conclusion to replace all women with amabs, save a small breeding population?

        Sounds like she’s just has delusions of inadequacy

      The part that had me shaking my head was the quote about how “obviously all Victoria’s Secret and fashion models are trans.” Like…the most womanly group of women who are chosen for their womanly features?

      And the other part where they said Charlie Kirk was trans “that’s why he’s so pretty” lol

    They have two kids, and the article doesn’t mention how the transvestigators are dealing with Erika’s pregnancies. Do they think she faked it twice, or did she not make public appearances while pregnant?

      Like that stopped them before. Michelle Obama also has two kids. These people are not well in the head.

        With the “Micheal Obama” shit, they have two specific missing children’s cases that they claim Malia and Sasha secretly are. It’s ghoulish.

    Oh, she definitely pegged him. 100%. I don’t know about the trans part, but the butt stuff is a guarantee. You can totally tell.

    Last I’d heard they were a small faction of right wing conspiracists, who hadn’t even gained much traction in the heyday of qanon, but 53,000 members in one Facebook group is concerning. It getting to the point a fox news host is calling an actor from the office a trans man is concerning as well. The right wing war on consensus reality is unfortunately succeeding quite well.

    “‘Of course almost all models, especially agent models and Victoria secret models are mostly [trans women],’ one wrote."

    The Transexual Empire and its consequences have been an unmitigated disaster for the human species.

    “transvestigation” is a transphobic conspiracy theory advanced over the past eight years, adherents to which believe countless celebrities, politicians, and other public figures are secretly transgender”

    wtf did I read? What is this shit? Why?
