the fundamental thesis of looksmaxxers has been unchallenged since they first emerged, and i imagine it'll stay that way. i see transgender people (women especially) and looksmaxxers as holding common ground mainly on the fact that our existences are both centered around adaptation and external appearance as necessary to our survival. for the looksmaxxer, looking good allows him to be his authentic socially awkward self without immediately being outcasted. for the transgender woman, looking good keeps her from being written off without even being given the opportunity to express herself in any capacity whatsoever.

it's proven by anecdotal experience and at scale. it's undeniable. you can say it's immoral (whatever that means), that society shouldn't function this way, but it simply does. if you want to get special privileges, if you want to 'rise above' the bare minimum level of treatment people 'like you' can expect, one of the quickest and most immediately visible ways to do this is by having sex appeal and appearing attractive and confident.
