Eh, I definitely think he looks more feminine in the after-picture (the original version, not the one you swapped). But it's a very miniscule difference. Apparently it's enough of a difference for troons to latch on to as some kind of progress to keep their delusions going. Now obviously he hasn't made any progress towards becoming a woman, as that's an impossibility. He's gotten closer to passing, in the same sense that I would get closer to the moon if I were to jump really high.
I don't have contempt for effeminate men per se, but to willingly strive towards becoming more effeminate, there's something profoundly disturbed and disturbing about that. And of course, a troon striving towards becoming more effeminate is really nothing like being a man that is less masculine by his nature, because the troon isn't striving towards authentic femininity, but whatever twisted version of femininity they've got in their head. I've encountered trannies that were every bit as assertive and aggressive as any man, with the only feminine psychological trait they'd picked up would best be described as "bitchiness".
Anyway I came across this picture today, maybe I'm late but I don't believe I've seen it posted here before?

It really boggles the mind why a beautiful girl would ruin her life like this. At least this one has only done the Ellen Page-transition so far and might still come to her senses before she's done any irreversible physical damage. But I think even if they don't take hormones or subject themselves to surgeries there's still damage being done. I think about how if you get totally brainwashed into having your morals, beliefs and self-identity totally twisted and subverted, can you even recover from that? What underlying problems exist to make them susceptible to this delusion? Maybe they were already deeply troubled before, and "transitioning" is just one out of an arbitrary number of ways their dysfunction expresses itself.
