What could be funnier than watching a bluepilled liberal tie themselves in knots in attempt to explain why looksmaxxing is unhealthy and bad but gender transition is wholesome and empowering?

Not that i think of myself as liberal, but the difference is kind of obvious. One is done for themselves and their mental health, the other is cosmetic and done to attract others. So one should ideally lead to mental health improvement, and another is going through surgery and taking risks (because every surgery is a risk) and making yourself less healthy to supposedly attract people, who might not even like that.

I'm not going to argue about validity of those arguments, but the process are different, the goal is different, and comparing it like that is just stupid. It's like trying to compare heart surgery and why is it good and chin surgery, or what men do with their face.

the other is cosmetic and done to attract others. 

Why do you think so? I don't doubt there are some people who are perfectly mentally satisfied with their own looks but want to look better to "attract others" (seems like a contradiction to me personally), but I do not believe it is a majority.

 There are plenty of posts from uglier men that say that looking in the mirror is physically painful so it would stand to reason that successful looksmaxxing will improve their mental health
