and it probably wouldn't change the course of the debate but i think it might change the reaction to the debate. the way it is basically leaves it open to "okay so you could have an easier time if you want, you just choose not to, that's on you"

In terms of aesthetics I'm not sure there's a distinction. Look at all the people who say those on disability are just lazy or whatever. Even being poor is kinda thought of as a choice.

And yeah, cis women have a different time but there's shared experiences there. "Ugly" or "mannish" or "unfashionable" women face extreme backlash from society whether they're trans or cis. The experience is different because that backlash is codified into law for trans women, among other reasons, but it still happens to all women.

Anyway I might be giving this too much credit. It's completely possible it was just a lopsided argument and that I'm seeing intention where there was actually just sloppiness. To me it seems intentional though, to highlight how influential good aesthetics are.
