Right, I thought the same when I saw that photo of Blaire taken by one of his fans at the vidcon meetup and this was back when I was still drinking the Trans Kool-Aids and I was totally flabbergasted at what I was seeing since I was too used how he looked in his videos and didn't realize he was using a phone app at the time. He has a serious case of Michael Jackson nose after that nose job.

And yeah I just had to share that picture of Blaire's actual body because I don't think many people realize just what his body actually looks like and that was taken in 2020 too so it's recent. And the funny thing is even when he wears hip pads, it's so obvious that his "curves" are not real. I mean look at this photoshoot he did back in 2018, does that look like a normal figure?

But the photo that really solidified Blaire's trickery for me personally was this photo someone took of him at 2018's Vidcon, I was super shocked when I saw it at the time and it showed me not to believe everything you see on camera.. The makeup photos/video he did on EthanIsSupreme's Instagram was the final nail since it pretty much exposed how Blaire still looks like a male (because of course he does, he is one)

Thanks for the tips on the filters. I will probably pass on the advice, though. I've never taken a cellphone or smart device "selfie" of any kind, nor have I ever posted a photo of myself online - and I think it's probably best for my mental health if I don't start now. If cellphones with cameras, social media and all this easy-to-obtain and simple-to-use photo filtering technology had been available when I was younger, I think it might have messed me up in a lot of ways.

That's fair. I was more or less just trying to say that the face filtering is so easy to do with these apps. There's a feature for everything, Jaw structure, eye bags, nose reshaping, neck length, cheekbones, even head size and it's all on a slider option so it's insanely easy to do. And yeah it can definitely not be good for people's self esteem if they use it too much. I can admit that when I discovered the power of these apps, I got a little hooked seeing all the nifty features though I just remember that these apps are not reality.

Wow, that picture of Blaire with the hip pads is so offensive. Women, including the one who gave birth to Blaire, develop wide hips coz of our reproductive role - and the shape of our hips causes many women distress and diminished self-esteem. When I was a young woman, I went through a stage when I saw my hips as so hideously wide that I feared I wouldn't be able to walk through doorways and I made a habit of going through them sideways. In reality, my hips were completely normal in size, of course. But having a distorted body image like that was seen as entirely normal for females, and something we should all just suck up. There was no outpouring of sympathy for girls and women with "negative body image" or "body dysmorphia" coz "negative body image" was assumed to be commonplace amongst females and therefore trivial - and the term and diagnosis "body dysmorphia" hadn't been invented yet.

I feel for Blaire's mother - and the other women who've given birth to and raised sons who've turned out to be misogynistic female impersonators, invaders of female spaces, appropriators of all things related to our sex, and destroyers of girls and women's rights.

Your description of these "face tune" apps makes me really curious, if only from a research perspective. It all sounds like being on an LSD or ketamine trip, only one designed to feed narcissism and foster insecurity rather than to open "the doors of perception" and expand horizons. I'm glad you're wary of these apps. None of this stuff seems good for people's self-esteem.

As always, I've enjoyed our interactions on this thread as on others. I've learned a lot from you, and you've caused me to (re)think about some issues I haven't thought about for a long while.

Right because at the end of the day, it's just a porno-fueled fetish for these men larping as women. It's about looking for lack of better word, "fuckable" because to them, that is what a woman's lot in life is about. I just wish more women would see this for what it truly is and stop being so complacent in their erasure.

I think that Blaire's mom is supportive of him but I honestly feel like deep down she knows that he's not her "daughter".

And you're very welcome, I'm glad you got some new info from our discussion when it comes to FaceTune and other similar face altering apps.

Even if Blaire's mom is outwardly supportive, I imagine she's conflicted. Even parents who dearly love our children usually aren't so blinded by our love that we can't see our offspring and their behavior in a realistic light. Lots of mothers are fully aware of their adult children's character flaws and it's dawned on many that some of the children we once doted on and still love very much have in adulthood turned out to be selfish dicks in many respects.

Again you're probably right. It's hard to really say since he hardly talks about his mom. The only thing I remember about what he said about his parents was that his dad never accepted him even before he transed out and that it took his mom awhile to come around to his t"identity".
