Ellen Page transitioning in mid-age as she was losing her good looks and her acting career was waning is totally not about narcissism y'all:
Here comes the box full of memoirs to cash in on the transition, because trooning out for middle-aged actresses is totally not a grift:
"The hiding, the self-disgust", yeah, that's why she got a job as an actress where her whole body is on display, because she was hiding:
It's so fucking obvious that she was uncomfortable with being asked to sexualize herself, but she using the language of trans to hide behind and not say the glaringly obvious: "I didn't want to dress up in sexy clothes, even as an actress, because I thought it was degrading, dehumanizing and unflattering.". Instead of just saying that, she is trying to interpret and explain her discomfort through a trans lens, and thus resorts to using TRA talking points and stereotypes.
"It's unfortunate that it bothers people so much", it bothers people because it's so obviously fake and staged and disingenous. It doesn't look real or genuine or authentic. Not just Ellen's LARPing as a man, but the video itself: shots of Ellen staring away into the distance like a dreamy schoolboy, Ellen on the floor strumming away at a guitar like a teenager in their bedroom, Ellen's selfie of her having a big fat pimple on her yaw from the testosterone driven facial hair growth... I don't see a woman being a man. I see a woman who wants to be a teenage boy forever. I see someone who has a very hard time adulting and is using trans as an excuse to not further not adult.
This was one of my big frustrations on KF: you were only allowed to describe TIMs as narcissistic, never TIFs. No matter how obvious it was that TIF had trooned out to seek the limelight, the TERFs on KF rejected any suggestion that it was a form of female narcissism. And yes, there is such a thing as a TIF smirk, just like the AGP smirk. You can see it in the above video.
