Who do you think is the best trans role model, and who do think would be best to head the "movement"?
>>
>>6395218
don't really care about models, but the best one to me I guess is any model without big ugly fake tits and a horrible looking gash where her feminine penis used to be

what 'movement'? if there is a movement I guess it's Caitlyn Jenner leading the way, she's by far the most famous

Not Bailey Jay. I would rather not have us be represented by a porn star, as a collective we should aspire to other things. Of course, individuals aspire to what they want, it's just those that do sex work shouldn't be our face. I don't have any ideas on better role models.

Unrelated, but Bailey kind of looks like she has microcephaly.

>>6395218

Caitlyn Jenner. :^)

There are lots of role models and leaders in the trans community from all sorts of different backgrounds. Not sure who, if anyone, can be called the best. Everyone's different.

One trans woman I look up to is Phyllis Frye(pic related) >inb4 hon. She's from my hometown and she was the first openly transgender judge in Texas. She's been an advocate for the trans and LGB community longer than most of us have been alive and she's helped a lot of trans men and women here with legal matters such as getting their legal name and sex changed.
>>
>>6395218
Andreja Pejić or Jamie Clayton are just some
>>
Sandy Stone is a role model to me. I do hope I get to meet her one day. Her robust, rich life does a lot to inspire hope that happiness and fulfillment can be real, and ours, in many places.

A modern figurehead? Tough call. I'm not sure we should want that to be a thing. Regardless, trans men need to be more actively represented. Their obscurity makes their lives and deaths vanish all too often.

Probably Jamie Clayton.

I don't know how Jazz is doing, or that other young known trans girl.
>>
>>6396727
She suffers depression and her parents are clearly profiting off of pushing her into transitioning. Shes clearly not happy and i dont even think she wants to be trans but its already too late to go back. She'll probably off herself when she reaches adulthood. So yeah its bad
>>
>>6396767
pretty sure the problem was putting her face on TV and saying hey im trans and everything associated with that

>>6396787
Trans people already are living a delusion and expecting people enable their mental illness. The depression is just a symptom.

Proof that life doesn't have to be over once you hit your middle ages.

It's one thing being some disgusting agp fetishist who literally can't not kill themselves if they don't have guys begging to fuck them. It's another thing to just be a normal girl with unlucky biology.
>>
>>6395218
Wendy Carlos desu
had a successful career outside of being a tranny and transitioned well into adulthood with reasonable results, doesn't look like a hon at all
>>
Bailey Jay has been prepping for stuff like Natalie Mars' spaghetti loss for a long time. She talks about being catty and getting into fights. Basically she is good at pointing out to people who don't get it that she's just another person, not a symbol or a role model.
>>
>>6396840
>>6395908
>Andreja
but she's so far removed from the reality of most trans people she's really not good for much apart from instilling envy in the rest of us and profiting off of a shitty industry
people shouldn't be celebrated for stuff like genetics that takes zero effort

Jamie Clayton would be a better pick, she may not pass 100% but she's very humble and seems like a sensible person in interviews and stuff. I like Paris Lees too but she's perhaps a bit too abrasive for mainstream appeal and the sex work thing turns a lot of people away.

I like Jen Richard and Angelica Ross

You can't glorify mental illness.

You trannies are nothing more than freaks and laughing stocks.

I'm getting sick of obongo nigger pushing, no, FORCING his faggot agenda on everyone. Anyways, no straight man (or woman) wants you fags. You will NEVER fit in. Your brains are forever FUCKED. There's no point in living such a subhuman existence. Just kill yourselves.

I hate this fucking world, too many god damn fuckers in it.
Too many thoughts and different societies all wrapped up together in this fucking place called AMERICA.
Everyone has their own god damn opinion on every god damn thing,
and you may be saying 'Well what makes you so different?'.
Because I have something only me and V have; SELF AWARENESS.
Call it exortenstiolism or whatever the fuck you want.
We know what we are to this world, and what everyone else is.
We learn more than what caused the civil war and how to simplify quadratics in school.
We've been watching you people and we know what you think and how you act.
All talk and no action.
People who are said to be brave or courageous are usually just STUPID,
then they say later that they did it on purpose cause they're brave,
when they did it on fucking accident.
God everything is so corrupt and so filled with opinions and points of view,
and peoples own little agendas and schedules.
This isn't a world any more.
It's H.O.E and no one knows it.
Self awareness is a wonderful thing.

It doesn't matter if she doesn't pass all of the time.
She's a great role model, she empowers people to survive and isn't afraid to stand out. Most people have heard of The Matrix and when I explain to people why the whole thing is a metaphor for trans a lightbulb goes off in their heads and they understand immediately, especially the redpill bluepill thing... it's brilliant, really.

We got a lot of cool role models out there but there probably will never be any real leader. The trans movement is already prone to a shit ton of infighting and splintering. The straight trans girls hate the bi and lesbian ones because of the suspicion and stigma of anyone who even remotely falls within Blanchard's criteria for AGP. There's constant nitpicking over who is and isn't "trutrans". Politics differ by the individual and there's no real consensus on how we deal with the issues we face. The passing trans are bitter towards the non passing trans girls and vice versa. Respectability politics are all over the place and self loathing trans people/detransitioners constantly shit on other trans people to make themselves feel better. The trans guys are mostly divorced from all the stigma, hatred and even the political discourse, because it's so largely focused on trans women. Plus they pass fairly easily because men get less scrutiny for their looks than women do, so they're in their own realm and they often alienated from the community.

On top of all that, you have a bunch of snowflake cis people muddying the waters even more by co-opting the trans label and using it for their own bullshit identity politics. It's a goddamn mess.

You need a Jazz to do that. Maybe no her specifically, but a pretty young girl. Nobody's going to listen to hons or even passable middle aged women.

Blaire fits better as queen of /b/ than as a more populist trans role model.

The best role model for a trans person is an individual who can separate the impossible fantasy of who they would like to be, from the reality of who they are.
