    Is it the dress, is it the picture or did one of the two ‘bodies’ grow even more out of proportion than the other?

    You mean the tits that look like pumpkins?

    Too bad they didn’t photoshop (pro/noun)’s hands too, probably an oversight. Being able to palm a volleyball might be a handy ability (pun intended). :P

    Yes, I thought the bosoming platform looked a bit uneven…

    And of course the over-the-top outfit to make sure you know “she” is a woman.

    “… educate the world about racism and transphobia.” But of course not sexism or misogyny.

    Those manly shoulders aren’t camouflaged by that artfully arranged hair. That torso has no waist. None at all. And is far too long, and the hips are entirely the wrong shape. That manly knee attempting the cross-body pose (and failing utterly) isn’t remotely like that of a woman. No amount of cosmetic surgery will ever convince anyone entirely sober that this man in extreme cosplay is a woman.

    And, as he ages, and his skin sags and wrinkles, as his ears and nose apparently grow as his face shrinks, and he looks more and more masculine, he might regret the desire for footballs inserted into his chest as they migrate towards that burgeoning beer gut.

    Hey, come on now Tigger. Hair, tits, jewellery, nails, dress, awkward stance, pouty lips parted seductively, part of head containing brain cropped out of picture because not important – that’s the essence of womanhood right there. Stop policing “women’s” bodies!

    (Cat, if you click through to the tweet, the photo can be enlarged and then the entirety of Munroe’s head is visible. This is just a byproduct of twitter cropping everything to fit within the dimensions of the tweet.)

    Holms – Oh, yeah! My mistake then. But it’s pretty common in advertising to just have the lower half of a woman’s face showing, so I just accepted it. I should have clocked from the red border on three sides that it was a Times cover and the top was missing… not to mention that the tweet is by Time magazine… I was tired, ok? That’s my excuse.

    Why does that ‘trailblazing model and activist’ look like a pantomime Dame?

    It’s a remarkably unattractive photo–which is notable for two reasons: first, this person is supposed to be making money from his looks; second, you’d think he and Time Magazine would have an army of Photoshoppers and retouchers to do their best to make it/him look amazing.
