horror of 2024

Has anyone else seen those videos of gender affirming surgeons “rating” trans people’s femininity/masculinity? Like they’ll stitch a video of a trans person documenting their transition and the surgeon will be like “Their face has perfectly feminized/masculinized” or “Even after the effects of hrt, their face is still masc/fem so I may reccomend getting facial feminization/masculinization surgery to really seal it”. And every time I see one of these I can’t think anything other than wait what???? Not only are you giving extremely unnecessary advice, but openly posting whether they are “passing” enough for you? Also just the assumption that all trans people want to be strictly masc and fem? That those are the only two options and that trans men/transmascs must be the epitome of masculine and transfems/ trans women must be the epitome of femininity? And it’s not like them stitching or reacting to their clients either, from what I’ve seen it’s mostly just random trans people who did not ask for this.

It feels like they are just looking at trans people like specimens to fix and perfect and force them into their neat little boxes on what they consider is a “complete medical transition” and “complete masculinity/femininity”. In the videos they act like they are the deciders of what is considered a masculine or feminine “look”. They always go out of their way to say how much of a trans ally they are and how they are helping trans people out too.

Also, never seen one about androgynous medical transitions. I have however seen them try to frame nonbinary people as trans men and trans women and force femininity/masculinity on them through “advice”.

Just because you work in trans healthcare and call yourself an “ally” doesn’t mean you are. Especially if you do shit like this. You don’t get a pass just because of your job.

A+ example of how the media manipulates people for clicks and anger engagement.

“horror movies of the 1980s exist at the glorious watershed when special visual effects finally catch up with the gory imaginings of horror fans and movie makers. technical advances in special effects (animatronics, liquid and foam latex) meant the human frame could be distorted to grotesque new dimensions on screen. 1980s horror movies delivered the full colour close-up, look-no-strings-attached, special effect in a way that previous practitioners of the art could only dream about. everything lurking in the shadows in older horror movies was now dragged into the garish light of day. the monsters were finally out of the closet.”
