Eating at Panera?
When they given an interview laying out their race identity issuesYou know what I think Shao Kahn actually has a point worth considering.
Where or how do you differentiate between people pursuing cosmetic surgery due to gender identity issues and people pursuing it due to race identity issues?
Shit. I never considered he dated both Faith Evans and Charli baltimore.Goddamn. Biggie was like her Joe Jackson.
The interview is very telling of her issues. She was fine, but years of abuse, and the pressure pushed her to this. That's what I think, maybe I'm not reading it correctly.You know what I think Shao Kahn actually has a point worth considering.

Shit is sad man.

She isn't changing her "race" to Caucasian, she's bleaching her skin to look like what has been defined as and still being defined as beautiful in America for a long time. And in her own words, the men in her life has always cheated on her with women with European features, so she's never felt beautiful in her own skin. Stop trying to compare two different situations that have nothing to do with each other. You don't have to be a Medical doctor to understand context. One is a trans woman, the other is a black woman with self esteem issues.She's comparing herself to the white girls, she tries to be like them, I mean, it's messed up and it's absolutely due to societal pressure, she doesn't want to look black, she wants to look white. I think it's a perspective thing I'm not going to get into. This is sad enough as it is and I feel I'm not qualified (as in, medical doctor qualified) to say something about this woman's mental health, other than damn she was beautiful once as she was.
It's pretty clearly low self-esteem and dysmorphia
Shit. I never considered he dated both Faith Evans and Charli baltimore.
Why are you acting like a psychiatrist and she is your client?
because this is a woman that taught that being black isn't good. She didn't decide on her own that she wanted to be white, there's a difference and pretending there's not is insulting.
Damn Biggs had a type. didn't he
I'm not fully agreeing with those comparing this to a gender transition, at all. I'm saying that the argument gets into a grey area because if you ask those people to heart they'll probably tell you "it's how I feel in the inside", but I think it's pretty clear it's not comparable as in how important and really natural is in a person. And of course, it's based on societal pressure, most of the time.She isn't changing her "race" to Caucasian, she's bleaching her skin to look like what has been defined as and still being defined as beautiful in America for a long time.

Because she flat out fucking said it
Hopefully you recognize the damage you're doing to black women when you tell them you only date Asian women. ��������������

Yes, low-self esteem. Where is the other condition?
I know, I know, I would say maybe forget about Kim's specific circumstance and just look at the larger question that Shao Kahn seems to be posing:
Where is the line for it being "okay" to pursue cosmetic surgery?

Damn I knew about Lil Kim, but I had no idea about Gabby. She was S-Tier gorgeous in Bad Boys 2.
I've never ever encountered a black man or woman who has used " it's how I feel inside" as a reason for why they bleached their skin. It has always been because beauty has been associated with white, while black is ugly. Where did you think the phrase "black is beautiful" came from? Same applies to having thick lips, broad nose and big booty.I'm not fully agreeing with those comparing this to a gender transition, at all.

You know exactly what it is and it's safe to say that's it something she is suffering from.
UnemployedVillain might not exactly know for sure but it's a safe bet.
why are people bringing up tans people?I know, I know, I would say maybe forget about Kim's specific circumstance and just look at the larger question that Shao Kahn seems to be posing:

Kim seems very unhappy with her body, and that seems lame and unfair. But it also seems to me that a lot of trans people must be unhappy with their bodies, not just because of their internal psychology, but also because of the way that society treats them. So where's the line?
I don't know. I just think that Shao Kahn's argument is interesting, I don't really agree with it. I'm genuinely curious about where that "line" is.
All I know is that Kim used to be super hot and I am sad now.
Seriously Kim's self esteem issues have absolutely nothing to do with Transgendered folks. Like lord jesus.
No argument here, I literally have no experience. Tales from my ass, I know, I'm glad there is someone to correct me.I've never ever encountered a black man or woman who has used " it's how I feel inside" as a reason for why they bleached their skin.

it's a bad pic. read a few posts above.
When it's a choice of your own and not something you feel like you have to do in order to be accepted.
why are people bringing up tans people?
Is it because they have never dealt with how European beauty standards are forced upon black women?
I feel conflicted. Like, I want to say that I prefer old lil Kim. But I worry it's just another dehumanizing response that led us here. She's more than a body and face. And she never got that lesson.
No, it's not a safe bet. She's in one of the most vain industries going, there could be external pressure, maybe she doesn't want to name names so she won't hurt her career. Throwing around horrible mental conditions like you know what you're talking about is disgraceful.
Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), also known as body dysmorphia or dysmorphic syndrome, but originally termed dysmorphophobia, is a mental disorder characterized by an obsessive preoccupation that some aspect of one's own appearance is severely flawed and warrants exceptional measures to hide or fix it.[1] In BDD's delusional variant, the flaw is imagined.[2] If the flaw is actual, its importance is severely exaggerated.[2] Either way, one's thoughts about it are pervasive and intrusive, occupying up to several hours a day.

I feel that she intentionally mislead people and at the very least lied by omission. I do not believe she was wrong to desire and create an aesthetic that she felt was more in line with her internal view of herself, however.
Have you got any insights that do not rely on baseless speculation about the people you're responding to or the internal motivations of the person we're discussing?
What are you even talking about. Do you know what body dysmorphia is? From wiki
Yes, I know exactly what it is. But it's not something you can casually diagnose as an outside observer, it's like comparing to having a bad day and depression.
LMAOHopefully you recognize the damage you're doing to black women when you tell them you only date Asian women. ��������������
Look what Gabby did to herself SMH
