@ArdainianRight @alyx I half agree with this but I reject the notion that this is vanity because that would be a feminine trait and troons have basically no feminine spirit or traits, only hyperperverted masculine spirit and traits. The tranny who demands to be told that he looks great or to get other validation does so for two reasons: first, it fuels the fetish. It makes him aroused and he masturbates to it. It’s unpleasant to think about but everytime a tranny gets called pretty this is happening on the other side of that screen. It’s pure, albeit warped, male Eros, a male coomer degenerated to its lowest form. Secondly, it’s a power trip, from the masculine desire to dominate. When a tranny gets others to tell him he looks cute or even to call him “her” or by a woman’s name that he made up, it’s a power trip, because forcing other people to lie under threat of the social (or sometimes literal) violence that comes from denying trannies is a power trip, it’s the kind of power trip that petty tyrants love the most, it’s the same kind of guy that gets drunk and beats his wife to a pulp to feel important. Funny enough, troons are the only actual example of toxic masculinity that is still a wide scale systemic problem in our society.
