@cyb3rm0shp1t@social.xenofem.me this is a trap and a way to accept things "just so". it's true that people are shallow and looks matter to social existence but applying it reductively is exactly what leads to the current of transfeminine pessimism that is so present. behind the veneer of practical truth that we are asked to coldly accept is fascising body politics, eugenicism, white supremacy and an investment in spectacular society. these things do not reproduce themselves from nowhere.

@winterklaus@social.xenofem.me im not sure that anyone has a defined blueprint for resisting the allure of the spectacular society, though, especially for people whose quality of life drops dramatically the less spectacle they participate in (down from an already low quality of life compared to the average.) i dont think the path forward looks like a refusal to accept and participate in the fundamental drivers and rules of society. i think if we make ourselves meaningless, if we refuse to appear meaningful, we'll continue to be treated as such forever, and we'll be the ones who suffer most from it
