i hope he's changed! and i'm glad people being shitty to trans women using femboys as a cudgel no longer have such a high profile tool to use! but i need people to understand this

    I'm genuinely disgusted by that. I'm almost more angry about that. F1n spent all that time making money off of being "just a guy" who looked more feminine than most tgirls do on HRT. Being "just a guy" who was prettier than your girlfriend, while on HRT???

    Imagine being a beauty influencer who makes their whole shtick about loving your natural self while hiding the work they've had done.

    'Cause the trap ideology thing is somewhat explainable by being egged on by chat and dealing with complex internal identity shit while having no real trans community irl. Doesn't change the responsbility that comes with having a platform but we also don't live in a society that acknowledges that that kind of responsibility even exists.

    I'm 4 years HRT and 2 years post FFS and he's prettier than me with a more feminine face. Considering how insecure I am it hurt that a cis guy could do that just for fun and leave me in the dust. That kind of direct lying is not appreciated.

      i remember seeing a post (by a trans woman) joking about how she didn't hate f1nn5ter for good reasons, she was just like the evil witch who is jealous of the young princess' beauty in a fairy tale and going "yeah, i feel that"

      knowing he was on hrt for at least a while makes me so much madder about that. i don't know how long he was on hrt for, i think it was only like the last 6 months or so before he came out? but even so that's so unbelievably frustrating in ways i cannot put into words

        To be fair I don't remember looking very different at all on only six months HRT, idk how much of an effect it'd've had.

          yeah this is absolutely not the biggest thing to worry about with f1nn5ter, i don't know how much it mattered to him looking like that, which he certainly did before he started hrt. it's something that really bugs me (i feel like maybe it shouldn't but it does) but if it wasn't for the other stuff i would just immediately let it go. i mean the whole thing is inextricable from the trap stuff but you get what i mean

            he made some downlow statements about being on HRT maybe more then a year ago. deflected it to being on Finasteride but many did not believe.

      Hate to break it to you, but that's almost every beauty or fitness influencer out there, male or female. Hiding the use of performance enhancing drugs or surgeries like BBL, ab sculpting or liposuction.
