Sweeney has been blatantly courting a far-right audience, but of course that will backfire.

    I give her 5 more years tops till her credibility as a “Hollywood” actress runs out and she goes full right wing grifter.

    Kindly consider that this type of comment exudes the exact kind of energy anti-trans people dish out in their criticisms.

    Only if you think that trans people transition due to vanity. Otherwise it's a false equivalency.

    It's affirmation for how they desire to look; dysmorphia. The reason is irrelevant.

    So you're saying being trans is a mental illness?

    You have completely misunderstood the point of my comment.

    Body dysmorphia is a mental illness and you're saying that people getting plastic surgery to look younger and people getting surgery to affirm their gender are doing the same thing.

    And I'm not disagreeing. I think that gender dysphoria is a subset of body dysmorphic disorder. It just happens that the treatment is hormones and corrective surgery. It's just not a take I expect to see on Lemmy.

    Has she?

    I'm not really into celebrity worshipping but the little I know of her, she only did a jeans commercial that started all this. I doubt that the commercial was her idea, this was a marketing agency that came up with the idea, the concept, the things that should be said and she was hired as an actress to say it.

    I've seen quite a few actors say or do things in commercials that they normally wouldn't do or say themselves

    In not trying to defend her, I'm no fan, I just think (unless there is way more that I'm not aware of) that the hatred towards her is a little bit over the top
