For trans guys and nonbinary folks, the act of becoming never stops.

Sure it does; it stops when you realize you're chasing after the unattainable and learn to be happy into your own body without needing to make up a fake identity to cope.

Or like, become a doctor or something useful 😂

It never stops huh? That sounds a lot like body dysmorphia, almost like the 2 mental health conditions are related or something.

Worst “article” ever lol.

Elliot Page posted a topless pic. Now here’s 20 paragraphs about my history with eating disorders followed by a few sentences trying to make it relevant to Elliot Page again.

The creepiest thing to me about this whole situation is now the abs. Like they are either implants or Page just only focused on abs, and both scenarios are off putting to me. On top of that, the media is trying to push this wildly unbalanced physical "development" as a "thirst trap."

I can't see them as being anything besides implants tbh. Her top surgery couldnt have been that long ago, factor in recovery time when could she have had the time to work out to attain natural abs like that? Also she has no muscle definition on any other area of her body, just the abs.

[–]shveya 17 insightful - 1 fun17 insightful - 0 fun18 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

That's what makes me think they're fake too. The surgeon coulda slipped in some ab implants after removing her breast tissue.

I'm confused why everyone things this is surgery?

It's just one of those filter app things that let you sculpt your body and face imho

Remember, sweeties, this is 2021 when every image can be digitally edited. Those abs read to me as obviously Photoshopped, just like they do in the movies. Ya think Elliot doesn't know someone with the tech to do that?

True. That just raises even more questions, though. Like: was the person who edited these photos blind? Why did they only edit the abs? The people demand answers!

I think they were trying to add something to the photo that emphasized masculinity, like they did to those actors in the movie 300. It was probably the easiest thing to tweak. But you aren't going to get abs like that without toning everything around them to a certain extent, and it would be especially hard if you've recently had a double mastectomy. My cousin's wife had that from cancer, and it took her a while to recover and regain fully mobility.

This explains the weird disconect between her torso, arms and legs quite well.

[–]GreykittymommaMagical lady 💜[S] 18 insightful - 1 fun18 insightful - 0 fun19 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I know I made the point that last year a topless photo would have been censored. I think it is gross how men are sexualized as well but now it is ok since she is now a he? Weird! Media stunt. This person is unhealthy looking and is 'goals' for so many other loonies. What a damn world...

[–][deleted] 9 insightful - 1 fun9 insightful - 0 fun10 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

They look shopped. Look at her elbow.

[–]reluctant_commenter 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Oh, whoa. Looks like a piece got chopped off. Thanks for pointing that out. Is there any way that could've just been a weird angle...? Looks strange.

[–]shveya 24 insightful - 8 fun24 insightful - 7 fun25 insightful - 8 fun -  (0 children)

Those were meant to be thirst pics?! She looks like a 10 year old boy who drew all over his torso with magic marker.

So transitioning didn't help unfuck you up enough so you developed an eating disorder. So manly... I wonder why so many transmen have female issues. It couldn't be... it wouldn't be... because they ARE female could it??

Now I don't want to downplay eating disorders but this article had me laughing out loud. How delusional do you have to be and when do we have to stop putting up with this bullshit?

SEEK HELP!

From my point of view there's nothing 'thirsty' about the pics in question.

It's almost like they bolted her head and limbs into an entire different torso like a Frankenstein. It's unsettling, to say the least.

Thin guys with abs don't look like that.

[–]MarkJeffersonTight defenses and we draw the line 11 insightful - 1 fun11 insightful - 0 fun12 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

It looks weird af and I doubt they are real. Some here have pointed to editing or implants; And yeah, that sounds about right.

I love how the topic started about Ellen Page, and then the subsequent 7 paragraphs about the authors own eating habits and body issues.
They really are the most narcissistic people imaginable.

...or the most fragile and in need of constant reaffirmation, I honestly don't know which.

"They really are the most narcissistic people imaginable.

...or the most fragile and in need of constant reaffirmation, I honestly don't know which."

My bet is on both.

[–]chandra 8 insightful - 1 fun8 insightful - 0 fun9 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Narcissism and fragility are two sides of the same coin.

[–]reluctant_commenter 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

In need of some quality mental health support, more like. Rather than getting surgery without any sort of thorough evaluation and then posting repeatedly about it on social media. :/

[–]xanditAGAB (Assigned Gay at Birth) 19 insightful - 1 fun19 insightful - 0 fun20 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

She looks really gaunt, her arms and legs are so skinny. She doesn’t look healthy at all.

[–][deleted] 19 insightful - 1 fun19 insightful - 0 fun20 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

So... this woman straight up admits anorexia was tied to her transition and transitioning is the continuous pursuit of the physically unattainable and yet.... has no self awareness that maybe this whole thing is just another outlet for self harm?? Why is this being affirmed by the medical profession again???

[–]Alma_Esmeraude 10 insightful - 1 fun10 insightful - 0 fun11 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Complete lack of ethics and total pursuit of profit. People who transition will be perpetual patients for the medical and/or psychological industry, as long as they can afford it... And even if she desists and detransitions in the next 10 to 20 years, she'll have to deal with the consequences on her body and mind.

This is the most direct link I have found between the two conditions. This person needs help but they just keep getting unnecessary surgeries and starving themselves.

[–]usehername 10 insightful - 1 fun10 insightful - 0 fun11 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Why are the abs shredded but the arms and legs gaunt? Maybe it's photoshop. She's not muscular, it's called having no body fat.

[–][deleted] 10 insightful - 4 fun10 insightful - 3 fun11 insightful - 4 fun -  (0 children)

There is no arm or leg day, only core day!

Seriously though, is the smile 'shopped too?

She is being sucked deeper and deeper into obvious mental illness before our very eyes and no one is willing to talk straight about this publicly. Where are her friends and family? She clearly has some sort of body dysmorphia and eating disorder going on, and also appears to be experiencing hair loss, which is inevitable with exogenous testosterone it seems. Will the the media and the public still pretend anyone is lusting after her we when she's a bald, 5'1", 65 lb "man" with no career prospects who has removed all sexual organs from her body while her vagina atrophies, dries up, and causes constant pain? Will they still pretend to celebrate her? How far is the public going to let this get before anyone says anything or is willing to publicly ask whether everything is OK with any aspect of this situation? I have no doubt there will be leeches in her life who will use her for her money and fame without regard for her. What will she do when there's nothing left to transition toward? When will she stop and why?

This is a tragedy in action and a new low for humanity.

[–]Uranian 8 insightful - 1 fun8 insightful - 0 fun9 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

She looks unwell. Pale and skinny to the point of being skeletal. This is not healthy.

[–]MyLongestJourney 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

"Thirst pics"

Sure.

For pedophiles.For she looks like a 10 year old boy.

Ding ding ding we have a winner! A bunch of pedos and kinky fuckers sterilizing our next generation.
