If I said that they’d call me a delusional [slur] and say I should be locked up.
But this idea originates in one of the most batshit academic texts of the late 20th century: “The Transsexual Empire” by Janice Raymond (former advisor to the US Congress on trans issues). In it among her claims are basically that amab people are better at everything than afab people including being attractive and desirable women. She also believes this to be a problem and proposes more or less the total elimination of trans people from the public sphere. It’s not a fun crazy book, it’s a “I’ve fallen down the rabbit hole of hate and will attempt to bring others with me” book.
Like yeah some trans women are really hot, and modeling often prioritizes bodies that have traits we’re more likely to have like prominent faces, abnormal tallness, and an anorexic shape. But firstly, that’s fashion modeling that prefers that body type, and second historically you’ve had to have gone stealth to a degree that’s nearly impossible these days to get one of those jobs while trans.
These people are really uncomfortable with the reality that some trans people look cis (and some cis people routinely get mistaken for trans) and have entered a level of delusion that I honestly struggle to comprehend.

Isn’t the logical conclusion to replace all women with amabs, save a small breeding population?
Sounds like she’s just has delusions of inadequacy

Ah, she must have also seen Bend Her - the Futurama episode where bender changes genders to win at the Olympics (and subsequently woos calculon).
