Her “facial hair” looks like when a mom paints a beard on a kid with mascara for a church pageant.

I’m sure this is what gay guys are looking for. /s

Lol it makes her look like a kid dressing up as Johnny Depp’s character in Pirates of the Caribbean.

It also looks like she maybe glued some wool or fleece fibers onto her face. Maybe with lash-glue? She would have no womenly use for lash-glue otherwise.

Okay, spoilers, but your user name is the best.

    Reminds me very much of the time a lesbian friend went to a bar as a drag king, because it was drag king night.

    This reminds me of a classic heckling-line from "Mystery Science Theater 3000", in response to the implausibly-black, drawn-on-looking stuff atop a B-movie actor's head:

    "Hair by El Marko!"

    She’ll probably win because of diversity.

    [–]wafflegaffWoman. SuperBi. 12 insightful - 3 fun12 insightful - 2 fun13 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

    "Diversity" is starting to sound very much like entropy.

    Transwomen already won women rewards and won in some lesbian conquests.

    If this will continue, soon nothing of LGB will left - TQ+ will take all spots everywhere. Majority of organizations are already under their control, with huge funding.

    "You don't just deserve to be a finalist in Mr Gay England, for example, - you deserve a crown. You deserve to be cherished and appreciated."

    Stunning and brave ...and UwU

    Just a couple days ago someone posted an article of non-binary people complaining about not finding love/sex partners among gay men in dating apps. Now this FtM person says that FtM people deserve to get crowns, be cherished and appreciated by other gay men.

    This kind of stuff is so unhealthy. If you feel rejected and you feel bad for it, go see a therapist. This is an advice for everyone, cis or trans. Dealing with rejection by shaming others into giving you forced appreciation is awful for everyone involved.

    My 60 year old friend just sent me a link to this story. I think he's peaking lol.

    [–]wafflegaffWoman. SuperBi. 7 insightful - 2 fun7 insightful - 1 fun8 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

    LOL I almost read that as "crowning" but it kind of is a birth, isn't it. Bring him over here.

    [–]artetolife 7 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 0 fun8 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

    I wish I could, he has interesting stories of 80s and 90s gay and lesbian activism. But he hates any kind of social media.

    [–]wafflegaffWoman. SuperBi. 8 insightful - 1 fun8 insightful - 0 fun9 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    Alas. Well tell him we said hello!

    Heterosexuals trying to make themselves the marginalised group and be praised for their ‘bravery’.

    [–]Shadow_the_Hedgehog 16 insightful - 1 fun16 insightful - 0 fun17 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

    Literally "I'm special, give me a crown you bigots"

    Also peak transtrender: don't even bother attempting to look/sound like the opposite sex and then get mad when people can't rewire their brains to comply. I almost am glad they're doing this type of shit so more and more people will peak.

    They seem to have miscalculated the limits of their ascension. It's coming sooner than they think. They're reaching for the heavens, and going to get a face-full of asteroid. But that's okay, just tell them it's girldick.

    They seem to have miscalculated the limits of their ascension

    The aggressive formation of echo chambers, IRL and online, is certainly to blame. The Bandwagon Fallacy intensifies, mob mentality takes over, and then extreme cases such as "Mr." Gay England here inevitably happens. As with all of these bubbles, they do eventually pop. I just hope people like this learn to actually accept themselves and grow up instead of dragging the LGB down with them.

    I am sure there will be plenty of solemn interviews to read in the coming years about how a few of them grew up and realized they contributed to doing a lot of harm to others.

    This is why it was better when children were mostly just acting out locally, not while also having access to the whole world.

    Male beauty does not include a woman playing dress-up.

    The BBC journalist who wrote this article should be FIRED -- it contains numerous factual errors that are repeated even though they have been shown to be false.

    This woman has a YouTube video showing footage of her. I muted it and set it to double speed to just read the words. A few quick looks at the video images sufficed. I couldn't watch it intently.

    She asks for money. She has a GoFundMe page: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-XdtUfzgoE&feature=youtu.be

    For people who want to save their time and energy, she doesn’t even sound like a man or make an effort to try. She not only has a woman’s cadence when speaking, but has nothing remotely masculine about her tone. It’s ridiculous.

    [–][deleted] 14 insightful - 3 fun14 insightful - 2 fun15 insightful - 3 fun -  (1 child)

    She talks like a megachurch pastor. Also, "making Queerstory," ugh.

    [–]julesburm1891 11 insightful - 4 fun11 insightful - 3 fun12 insightful - 4 fun -  (0 children)

    I actually cringed at that part. “Herstory” is already awful, but that took it to a new level.

    [–]Uranian 9 insightful - 2 fun9 insightful - 1 fun10 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

    This is also the broad who was dragging RuPaul for "not understanding drag". She's an idiot, and entitled idiot.

    [–]CheesyPeas 5 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

    O how cute they can be seen fake punching. So fierce. You go actual girl.

    I think the idea of male beauty is winning.

    [–]haveanicedaytoo💗💜💙 10 insightful - 1 fun10 insightful - 0 fun11 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

    I really wonder if they chose all unattractive/bad angle/awkward pose photos of this girl on purpose?

    [–]Uranian 11 insightful - 8 fun11 insightful - 7 fun12 insightful - 8 fun -  (0 children)

    That would require there to be an attractive angle they didn't use.

    [–]CheesyPeas 9 insightful - 3 fun9 insightful - 2 fun10 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

    I'm sorry what?

    I am not sure whose idea this is of male beauty but this ain't it. I mean I am no wall flower, but god damn.

    I would not touch this with a fucking bargepole.

    [–]dramasexual 7 insightful - 3 fun7 insightful - 2 fun8 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

    She's never even taken testosterone. Not even pretending to try.

    [–][deleted] 7 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 0 fun8 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    Looks like a drag king to me. Butting into a gay male contest. There is nowhere that they will not intrude.
