Oh Trinny …

Have just watched the latest episode of her Takeover show on You Tube…

…I’m very disappointed…

… and to think I used to be a fan.😧

I’m sure she has done it to appear cool and relevant but if her target market for Trinny London is women of a certain age, then I think this might have the opposite effect. I for one am certainly reconsidering buying her products now.

I’m deliberately not commenting on the individual concerned who seemed a nice enough person, but speaking very generally, are we meant to applaud Trinny for affirming and enabling people’s delusions?

She did do a little piece to camera at the end acknowledging that some people watching the video “may not be understanding”.

This is a great example of how the Streisand effect has impacted on my perception of trans women.....

Maybe six or seven years ago I would probably have thought this was lovely and sweet. I would have been pleased for the trans woman, who did look very nice in the last reveal - if still obviously a man.....

If I knew this individual, I would probably have quietly acquiesced to sharing a same sex space with her - a loo at work or in the pub, a changing room, included her on 'girls nights outs' and hen do, etc.... I would not have felt entirely comfortable doing so, but I would have done so out of politeness and compassion.

But I know too much now to ever go back. If the trans community hadn't pushed for more and more, hadn't insisted on taking so much away from women, then I would never have educated myself about what actually makes a man a trans woman and what they actually want.

I bet thousands of trans women wish we could just go back to the days when everyone thought they had a female brain trapped in a male body, and were treated accordingly.....

So Skyler’s sister is trans too? Or are they using ‘sister’ in the hi-five, sorority sense? Trinny obviously wants to open up her market. Does Skyler work for her?

Skyler seems lovely and desperately self-conscious - the casual comment about getting their adams apple ‘shaved’ 😩The amount of fawning required from everyone surrounding them is quite exhausting. But they obviously work in fashion which is constant ‘dress-up’ time for all involved (except for the grunt workers in the background).

I think Trinny means well and is obviously very fond of Skyler but I can’t help thinking her clientele is going to change after this.

Yes I flinched at the casual mention of adams apple shaving…

Such an extremely attractive person with so little self confidence …

I always worry about the rhetoric in both trans- and non-trans individuals who expect to feel more confident/attractive/“themselves” following a procedure done, let’s face it, for aesthetic not medical reasons. The effect rarely lasts and then they are on to the next operation.

I know Trinny as a makeup range producer is all about the temporary boost but I’m surprised she would put someone who is so obviously mentally fragile under the spotlight like this.

Trinny won't have gained many fans from the trans community as every single outfit was ghastly.

This may be a plus point!

Agree with another poster. She may find her market shifts a lot. Good luck to her, maybe there is more money to make there, who knows?

Trinny is utterly apolitical. Despite the fact that she's fabulously wealthy & privileged she's never even been bothered to hide the fact that she uses take away cups every day for her coffees. I think she might have simultaneously taken a financial hit from the fact that she's broken up from the woman abusing Saatchi whose home she used to live in & who invested heavily in her business, alongside the fact that her products are possibly losing popularity due to their being very expensive but not very high quality. Trinny London grew in popularity massively during lockdown with women watching her videos. With a degree of becoming irrelevant she's becoming a bit desperate to maintain growth of her markets. Her main demographic is certainly older women though & she'll have no idea what a large subsection of those are Terfs who will boycott once word gets out.

Wasn't she with Nigella's ex (the one photographed grabbing her by the throat in a restaurant)? Not sure about her critical thinking skills tbh, nor the obsession with v necklines.
