And no arse! π Geeze. 7 foot tall, 6 inches wide, legs like twigs, tranny makeup, bizarre aggressive hairdos, shoulder pads, and flat as a board.
80s perfect female was a dude.

How is that different than today's trannies? (Well, aside from the fat part...)
The difference is that everyone fashionable used to be a tranny, but now it's a niche thing and they do more surgeries and pills.
I think younger people would be totally weirded out, by how similar everyone was, within one area. People move around, now. It used to be that you married someone from your neighborhood and they were more-or-less related.
That just sounds bizarre, now. π
Not everything has changed for the worse, is all.
People didn't call it "queer" or "trans" back then. They'd just talk about how they wouldn't let themselves be caged in by sexual dichotomy.
Remember the shoulder pads? π
Even our communion dresses had shoulder pads!
I think, what's mostly changed is that it's become an ingrained part of the culture and people have vocabulary for self-identifying, now.
so are you saying that there's nothing too particularly worrisome about today versus 80s/90s, 20s etc ? like we've all been down this road before?
except maybe the pharmaceutical industry is stepping into the space whereas it was just clothing industry before?
They took the fad to the absolute extreme, with increasingly irreversable changes, and it's become another branch of transhumanism.
The whole idea that humans can rise above biology. Changing (or exagerrating) the sex is just the warm-up. We'll see people with tails, people who have their limbs replaced with robotic superlimbs, cochlear implants in healthy people, manipulation in vitro, etc.
A man taking hormones and getting breast implants will soon seem quaint, to us.
Does the idea even shock anyone, anymore?
When I was growing up, breast implants in women was shocking. Humans acclimate to environmental changes really fast.
I guess there's no way to make money off of "be who you naturally are".
it bothers me that some younger people might think that these are answers. I bet some kids are completely comfortable in their skin, and others are not. or if "rebelling" nowadays is taking some hormones instead of just earrings and tattoos.
however smoking/drinking is marketed to kids too, and that is also very body altering.
the state of California cracked down on flavored vaping products marketed to kids. these kinda laws will also be needed for pharma/medical companies for hormonal and surgical augmentation.
we just need to get the public aware of this modern version of snake oil/skin whitening/etc salesmen.
yeah there is, plenty of people make money out of writing books about self actualization, health info, diets, breathing techniques, meditation... these all accentuate and focus on the self
i don't think the biological substrate will survive such perversion
almost all mods destroy or probably destroy fertility so every idiot who falls for it or gets pushed into it is end of line
just add some widespread global natural disaster cluster and i'm pretty sure it will put an end to this idiocy
I don't know if anyone is concerned with destroying fertility, anymore. That's become extremely commonplace in the wider population. Not something specific to trans.
Fertility is increasingly seen as something without value, unfortunately.
that has been one of the objectives of all this demoralization and propaganda, to train people to reject their body's nature, as with fertility also with worship
I think it also started with the Anti-Baby pill.
i think you can point to the popularization of abortion leading up to that and the links back to the eugenics movement, but yes... it is a deliberate silent genocide, and the lemmings joyfully walk into the mas graves apparently of their own volition
As far as I know, abortion liberation came after the Pill, as it was the Plan B for failed contraception.
Maybe not where you lived. Are you queer or trans?
Remember not everything YOU personally experienced is applicable worldwide.
That explains the hair bands π€£
