Face morphing site Cool pix

I'm always telling you ladies that you look like certain celebrities.  I thought you'd have fun with this site.   You can add your picture and pictures of celebrities and the site will morph it together.

Or maybe we should be proud of the faces we have and not aim to look like completely different people/ the cis women our community obsesses over looking like.
I've never been a fan of comparing ourselves to cis women at the rate that we do- especially when it comes to physical appearance. 
I think we need to, in a way, accept ourselves as women and work with what we can. Cis women are not above us. The whole "you look like this celebrity" has been cute, but morphing our beautiful transgender faces with those of cis women/ at all is where I personally draw the line.
Mixie, i think you are awesome and have alot of encouraging things to say and have brought alot to this forum already, but i am not a fan of this thread.

I actually thought some people would like it ambitiously.  But I also think you are taking it way too seriously.  You can morph your face with Chewbacca, Golem and Shrek if you want to as well.  It's supposed to be a fun thing,  I kinda understand a teensy bit of what you are saying but I can't say I really get it based on the site itself.

Meh, I don't see anything wrong with the thread. Its meant to just be a fun thing, I'm sure. Not another way to tell us we are less than or something.


And if I were going to morph myself, I'd most likely do it with a pic of me and my dog as we have similar hair color and long snouts.

Our lives/transitions are serious. As a cis women yourself, you may have fun morphing your face with another, but on a forum such as this I think you need to check yourself.

*Edit*
so basically, i take issue with the whole cis women comparison work you do here in general at times and I do think this thread takes it too far for me.

[J R D]

lol, me and my doggy, Jake.


came out pretty good I thought.




Do I pass?

I think it's adorable looking.

Thanks, I feel all furrilicious now.

I think you're being a bit harsh on her. You are the one making this so much about trans vs. cis.  I did not get the impression that she was doing anything but saying that some women here remind her of some celebrities and this was a way to see just how much or even go into a silly direction as I did.

I can see where you're coming from but at the same time personally I prefer to be compared to cis women, otherwise it feels like it's the special olympics or something 



Anyway

After reading another mixie thread like a week ago or something I told my bf I couldn't think of any celebrities I look like. Then I kinda thought I had similar features to Britney Spears, so anyway I tried it:




I think it looks different though anyway (plus I would rather look like a less melodramatic celeb  )

[J R D]

Well darn, I'm curious about what you look like on your own now. I don't recall seeing a pic of you.

I posted 'em a couple times before but I don't really take many since I am still pre-everything 

[Pica Pica]

I mixed myself with Lauren Laverne, was fun.

I think there is something very very valuable in here.   But I can't quite understand what you are saying.  Please don't worry about offending me.  If you have something to say be straight forward, it's more helpful that way.  Please remember that the last thing I would want to do would be to offend anyone.


But I will point out this.  The only reason I compared transwomen to cis women at all was because of the "Do I pass thread."   I"ve said many times I think you are all beautiful exactly as is.   It's when people start harping on someone's jaw line or brows or some other thing I started posting celebrities that had similar features.  And that's celebrities,  people with stylists, make up artists etc.    I have always said I think most people here look like regular women.

So I'm not quite getting why you think I'm the one forcing the comparisions on you when it's you tearing each other apart that caused me to do it in the first place.

Second,  if you are saying that transsexual female identity has a special place in the world that should be honored,   I would agree with you but only if the transsexual female wanted to be identified that way.  There are many transsexual females that want to be "women" without the labels beyond it.  So I'm not sure I'd agree with you about putting people into separate categories.   


Jaime your picture was adorable!  LOL

Oh, go get a sense of humour.

Seriously? Maybe you should just not reply in it if you're so unhappy about it

That site is pretty fun to play with, what's your issue with it?

[Pica Pica]

Well, I had a play and a giggle, and that's good enough for me.

Okay.

We are trans women. I do not think there should be anything wrong with looking like a trans woman and that is the message i want to send out. Why? because there are trans women who may never have passing privileges. By comparing us to celebrities with stylists who you define as "regular women" that have similar features is kind of feeding into the problematics of passing as cis. Alot of people want that here, but it's not my activism. This is the work i do.

So I'm not quite getting why you think I'm the one forcing the comparisions on you when it's you tearing each other apart that caused me to do it in the first place.

cis woman to the rescue.  .

Your focus in this forum isn't all bad, but the "cis woman celebrity" rhetoric you use in the do i pass threads and in threads out of the do i pass thread can be problematic for me and does offend me as a trans woman who identifies as a trans woman. I may have some features of a cis women, but I am not a cis woman.

Second,  if you are saying that transsexual female identity has a special place in the world that should be honored,   I would agree with you but only if the transsexual female wanted to be identified that way.  There are many transsexual females that want to be "women" without the labels beyond it.  So I'm not sure I'd agree with you about putting people into separate categories.   

"Want to be women" WE ARE.
Honestly, this was exceptionalism, used against me as a trans woman, to deny your cisgender privilege, coming in here like ya know what's up, wanting to help and ~doing it the wrong way~ Ofcourse I recognize that some trans women don't want to be tied to their "trans" identities but how does that help empower transgender bodies that don't have passing privileges? It doesn't. It's wonderful that you march in trans spaces to tell us we look like regular women and to stop nitpicking, but please realize where you stand as a privileged cis woman. I've seen you talk about how some people identified you as trans in your life, which means you aren't as privileged, but you are still cis.

I couldn't help but have a go.  I love model Doutzen Kroes.  This is me and her combined.
