Definitely a topic worth discussing and I hope you'll welcome some nuanced debate from a reader who agrees with 98% of what you say and growing (you helped me understand stratospheric injections and prompted me to question the nature and shape of our planet).

Firstly, I look at modern medical aesthetics as technology, which like other technologies can be used to improve our life experience. As is often the case - it's overdone, which erases beauty - the opposite of its intention. Just like make up may have once been considered 'deceptive' and only for ladies of the night - medical aesthetics are a beauty tool in their early stages, which may continue to take shape in terms of their acceptance. Let's assume botox and filler are relatively 'safe' if used correctly (we really don't know long term and abstaining is obviously the safest bet, but people are not dropping dead such as with other injections). If they can alleviate people's deep insecurities - this does offer value to some. They may not be able to internally conquer pressures towards patriarchal beauty standards, so maybe the cheat route does benefit them.

Secondly, the beautiful girl who started the no filter movement is actually ahead of the game in terms of aging - she doesn't have the angry lines that pop up mid-20s ('elevens'), her freckles are of the nature that people pay to tattoo on these days (a 'natural' beauty trend), and her face naturally has the beauty standards people are paying to achieve, so her sacrificing herself to lay nakedly for the world to see is actually just promoting that only the naturally beautiful deserve the title, and those who pay to feel the experience of beauty are fraudulent.

Thirdly, the 'frozen' look is not the intention of using botox and fillers. That would be a sign of bad work. Most people who use these injections do not achieve that level unless they're on Selling Sunset or Real Housewives (it's expensive!), and one probably would not being able to recognize the women who are using these products. Botox, for example, only lasts a few months.

Also, consider that there are other beauty tools such as laser facials that can expose pre-cancerous areas and actually reset sun damage (eg. IPL). These clinics usually offer an array of tools for customers to choose from.

While I am on the same page of the writer in thinking this alien beauty trend is not attractive, and skeptical of the industry in its predatory intentions, I do think modern beauty technology does provide a service for many as long as they use it in moderation as a 'boost', not to rewire their whole look. Just like no one questions braces as being 'vain' anymore, I think we could recognize that in many cases, suddenly being able to have an upper lip where you didn't, or breasts where they never grew, or even the stress lifted from your brow could be worth a few thousand dollars for people who want to feel more in control of their appearance. For some, when they lessen that one insecurity that has always plagued them, they may feel their true beauty can shine. Although it's entirely possible to feel that once one fire is put out - time to move to the next one and get caught in plastic surgery addiction, that seems to be the minority of cases.

While there is definitely a societal sickness in terms of fear of aging, which seems to be worsening among Gen Z due to their worth being even more tied to their appearance with social media, hopefully we can destigmatize the medical beauty industry and open the conversation to how it can intersect with health as beauty so it's not one or the other. After all, women who may use these products may be just as intelligent, valuable, and healthy as other women who choose not to. Just as some of us are vxx damaged, others are self-esteem damaged from childhood and just coping in a sick world, wishing not to be even further judged among the circles of their equals where they have just as much to contribute.

After getting an IPL facial last week, I mentioned this article to my medical aesthetician and she had some interesting points to add – firstly explaining that botox is not a neurotoxin, but a protein extricated from it. She has used botox to alleviate severe menstrual cramps and pointed out that botox use started out to stop eye twitching. It’s also successfully used as a therapy for Parkinson’s disease. Some use it for sweating or migraines.

The laser facial I received was a cosmetic procedure, but it came with an unexpected side effect of reliving my dry eye syndrome (which was caused by the evil pharma drug, Accutane). IPL lasers have also helped me heal from a nasty chalazion (a disfiguring cyst inside the eye). Redditors have described these as so traumatic they become suicidal when they can’t combat these facial deformities that can last indefinitely. Should these people just ‘be more confident’ or is solving this aesthetic issue with medical aesthetics tech fair game here? I bring up this point to spark discussion on what is a valid reason for cosmetic procedures vs invalid: car accident victim – VALID, breast cancer survivor - VALID, person who experienced invisible emotional abuse or racism (for being anything from too white or too dark) – invalid; they should be able to handle their problems from the inside out.

One could argue that there are natural remedies to fix some of these health issues alleviated by medical aesthetics. DMSO, for example, can cure early skin cancer – I can attest to that! (caused by tanning beds I used to change the color of my skin due to colorism). Thanks, Amanda, for introducing me to DMSO. However, I have not had complete success with it as a panacea yet. I’ll continue to experiment.

Shame culture, suggesting that others should feel shameful about their appearances or choices to alter their appearances is reminiscent of Covid culture to me. To me, it’s much more important to acknowledge what a person is contributing rather than their ‘addictions’ or ‘vanities’.

Recently, a male freedom activist posted on how every woman who has even minor cosmetic procedures looks like Donatella Versace (ie. overdone) – insulting his own following where they may have been a useful team member to him. Like a forensic plastic surgeon, he swears he can tell if people have ever used one drop of these 'poisons'. Does he know what it’s like to age as a woman? No. He is also simultaneously insulting any man who wants to get a hair transplant (and some of his best friends do!)

Lastly: let's not compete about who’s winning the freedom race. We’re all entangled on some level by the new world order and its many agendas. He eats factory-farmed animals, she took CERB bribery – we are all tied in to the mess at some level. Even the woman who wrote the avocado-shaming article relies on her technology to be shipped from across the world.

{This is a good time to bring up that botox is tested on animals – but it doesn’t have to be. Like many meds, it’s an excuse for the animal testing industry to continue to exploit animals.}

This is where my earlier point that women who use cosmetic tech are ‘just as healthy’ comes in. If these injections make us lose a point in terms of health, there are many, many other points to be lost elsewhere in terms of our rampant exposure to toxins.

During the plandemic, I was fighting for individual choice. The transhuman agenda is a great conversation to have, but it’s a conversation that is nuanced and has room for many perspectives of how technology can be used as a tool and when we are becoming enslaved by it. As with other false dichotomies, as soon as we act as if we’re in competition with each other, we are falling for their MO.

Amen, JessaJay! I agree with the excellent points you make here. Tolerance, open-heartedness, curiosity, and realizing that we can never really know the realities that others are living... so important. I appreciate sitting with many different perspectives. I try to hold preferences without condemnation of the decisions of others, which is admittedly very challenging at times!

Great comment, JessaJay! There is always room for compassionate thoughtful nuanced analysis. My mother had large puffy bags (filled with fat) under her beautiful green eyes. She looked tired and ill in her 40’s as a result. When she had her eyes “done” in the early 90’s, she was like a woman reborn! The bags never returned, and she is nearly 80 now. It made such a difference to her sense of well being.

Great example. I had a friend who benefited from under-eye filler in her 20s. She was a Maxim model - blessed in some areas genetically, needed help in others like most of us.

I don't have under-eye filler and as a result, I have had a few people tell me - 'you look tired' - wow, thanks.

Amazing how you can be criticized for having procedures but also for not having them - we really have to train ourselves not to care what people think. I crafted a part two of my thoughts on the Transhuman Injections topic, which I'll post...now.

The older I get, the more it becomes apparent that plastic surgery addicts are in a monkey trap. Aging is not a disease. I repeat: AGING IS NOT A DISEASE. An old woman with an artificially young face is like an ancient oak that has been stripped of its bark. It looks naked and dead. The return on investment diminishes as time marches on. Martha Stewart was one of those who looked OK for awhile and now looks absolutely ghoulish. Don't even get me started about men who fall for it like Burt Reynolds (ick!) and Simon Cowell. Ariana Grande, once beautiful, has already disfigured herself. Her nose is turning into a Michael Jackson situation. The Kardashians all look like weird robots and they get worse every year. In an odd way, I am glad these people showed us what not to do. Never have I been more grateful for not being able to afford Botox or fillers when I was not as secure. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Fascinating article, thanks. I was laughing because my borderline ex-wife used to tell me she needed to have her forehead botoxed to prevent headaches, that it wasn’t to do with her frown lines really but that her forehead being paralysed and the lines not showing was just an extra bonus. But in her case her lack of empathy was far more fundamental! Still, I’d never thought of it as a part of the transhumanist agenda, that is interesting. I’ve always found natural women more attractive and always feel sorry for women who feel they have to go after the fake ‘Barbie’ or Pamela Anderson look, how sad. I’ve also been perplexed by ‘twerking’ where women wobble excess fat on their behinds thinking it’s attractive lol, what? Maybe I’m just an out of date old man at 54 or maybe the above article has helped convince me that the people who adopt the latest fashions are frightened approval/attention seekers who are not content to be themselves, very sad.

The lack of appreciation for both sexes to be closer to their natural biology and born attributes frustrates me equally. Social anthropology might look back on this timeframe with interest and the many downstream effects, one is the precipitous drop in procreation (which is for many reasons of course.)

I met a new neighbor in the parking lot today, who moved into my apt bldg a couple weeks ago. It was the first time I've seen her face-to-face, up close. Good God! She obviously has had work done on her face. It looked horrid, monstrously distorted! It was unnaturally swollen in some places, and grossly bloated in others. Does she, and her plastic surgeon believe this is an improvement? attractive? sexy? Did she actually pay money for this result? So, so sad on many levels.

It's not just trans human, it's narcissistic.

This shit happened for centuries but it used to be mostly only with the upper classes.

The serine divinity of the shell our maker gave us is both complex and majestic. These pathetic in-breeds who seek to diminish us are really of no consequence. And to the vagaries of beauty, I am for a woman who knows who she is and revels in her own self - is that not where beauty resides - for all of us? Exhibit A -> AV.

Amandha I love what you do. It always floors me in amazement. I do not call myself a feminist as I see feminism as an offshoot of patriarchy - feminists jostle for a place at the man's table. I want women to initiate building a new table where men and women in true equilibrium, come together and decide. I think I like female empowerer because that's what I see myself as doing. But we sisters have a bit of a way to go as we do not empower each other. Men have their "Brotherhood" and it shall never be put asunder, but women are still not empowering each other. We need new ideas, new paradigms and new actions. It bothers me immensely that women are literally being dictated to from morning till night on how we should look, and behave. I would like it if we threw our bras away. This business of perky breasts is juvenile. Breasts are so political because they are only ever used for male scintillation. When do we see mothers freely breastfeeding their infants? We never see it in moves or in real life. Women feel they have to hide if they do it at all. Yet this does a huge disservice to our girls because it is through seeing breastfeeding that will normalize it. And most new mothers don't even know how to do it. They may know intellectually but when they come to do it, have no clue. This is something that is natural or should be. But if we don't see it, it needs to then be learned. Another thing is women's faces are so made up. Now with this new eyebrow look. There is no way I would spend so long in front of the mirror. We need to support women to have brains and skills not look pretty. It's ok to look pretty but it's not enough or even satisfactory. Many young women are getting the idea right about equal chores but women have now been thoroughly brainwashed into patriarchy so that they are constantly looking at themselves. Young women know we can do anything men can do, but we don't know how to do what women can do! Femininity has almost been totally lost. We can see this too by the way we treat the earth. There is a lot to femininity that isn't recognized in patriarchy such as our fierce championing of the truth and defense of the vulnerable. True femininity also entails knowing how to direct the feral aspects of the masculine for without women as his counsel, a man is lost and depraved. All that comes from the imbalance of the masculine and the feminine is inversion. As we can see playing out right now. It's time for women to rise up. What does that mean? It means speak up. Don't be afraid to say the wrong thing. If we look at who's speaking today, we see there is again, a plethora of men and very few women. So the female perspective is being drowned out yet again. Amandha you are an awesome representative of women. Girls and even women, need some good models they can look to because the ones we mostly see are not very admirable. Thank you fro covering his aspect of what is being done to women today.

No to throwing away bras. It's fine if you have small breasts but if you have large breasts a good fitting bra stops upper back pain. Not every piece of clothing has to be politicized. Comfort & being free of back ache matters more.

I agree with you and of course there are always exceptions. But bras are very constricting which isn't good for the lymph glands around the breasts and all this for the reason that we are used to seeing perky breasts. It's liberating to go without bras but I admit, it looks unattractive to see breasts at low beam.

I agree women are not built for hard work and I think women who go into the army are suffering from deep Stockholm Syndrome - they're mens' wars. they can fight their own wars. Women and men should be able to do whatever they want though. Why not? Women are capable of working but the whole structure of work is cockeyed as is everything under patriarchy. It's not men that are the problem it's men telling others how to live their lives that's the problem. And it seems men love to do that, they are always the ones writing bibles and constitutions. And even now, you're telling women what they should do. I get it that women can not be as strong as men, and that's fine because women carry the next generation and look after people and that is huge. It's just not valued. .

Wow how could you get it so wrong. This is the system I espouse? Are you kidding me? This is patriarchy dear sir. Full blown patriarchy. Perhaps you don't understand what that means - it means men wrote everything we live by - not women but men! Men left women out. That's why there is so much dysfunction. It's all based on the money system which makes whores out of everyone because it is designed to create an artificial scarcity. And when something is scarce what does any biological creature do? Hoard! It creates greed. But there is no need for it because it all comes about by the way money is issued. It's all by design. Design by men, just remember that. Perhaps you are unfamiliar with matriarchies. I am not suggesting we return to matriarchies - which worked very well for thousands of years, but we need a whole new framework now. Anyway, we have it in the technology. The technology we have today changes everything, yet we're still going by the old fashioned way of thinking from the days when they used muskets. We really need to move up with the times. Now we have instant communication, they never had that before. We have to stop looking backwards and look where we are and where we want to go and head that way. Nothing that happened in the past has any relevancy anymore - we are in a whole new ball game.

Dear Gary I am fully aware that we are in a consciousness war. I have a different interpretation of why this has come about. The only thing the bible has to do with it is that the bloodlines wrote that book to create "thought forms" in people's minds and use their minds to bring about their wet dreams. It works! The human mind is what is at stake. I agree with you on what they are going to do to humanity. That is why I wrote what I did. It is the ONLY blueprint that will get us out of the consciousness loop they have put humanity into. We have to get out of that loop if we are to triumph.
