I would like to understand what's wrong with society nowadays and how this all started. Maybe it never started; it's always been that way for ages, but it got hyped to new levels with the help of technology. Is it all related to self-esteem? Some people have real problems and these procedures are life-changing, some are ok looking but want to fix a few defects, whilst others just become obsessed with unrealistic expectations.
I watched a few documentaries to try to understand these topics.
South Korea seems to be leading the way in regards to plastic surgeries: a 3 billion US$ market. Up to 50% of women in the cities have had it. Men are as eager to do so because beauty standards have reached unrealistic levels, to the point where people are unable to get employed if they are not pretty enough. Some procedures do seem helpful in certain cases, to fix real problems. Some girls got bullied into doing it by their employers, contracting huge debt under the threat of losing their jobs. Some girls are just rich and obsessed; one of them spent 500 000$ over 100 procedures... An extreme case of obsession led a woman who had no more money to inject herself with cooking oil, which led to her being disfigured for life.
The most sought-after surgery is double eyelid surgery, but the documentary shows it goes well beyond that.
China seems to be catching up with this surgery market and beauty obsession, but not as badly as Korea. It's mostly affecting people who hope to work or are working in the showbiz industry or in the higher ladders of society.
This, of course, leads to another very disturbing topic that seems to have taken birth in Thailand but has now become a "woke" plague in all Western societies. Something I really do not understand and feel is the apogee of insanity.
The video starts showing a beautiful female fashion model... But it used to be a man.
I specifically placed the video at 17 min when they visit a school, interviewing boys between 13 & 15 yrs old. They say 5% of that school considers themselves Katoi; about 50 boys!
One boy says, "I want to be as pretty as they are and I'll do anything for it, even plastic surgery."
The other, "It's good to show that we Katoi can compete with women, we can be more beautiful than women."
A lot of them says they are a girl born into a boy's body.
What is wrong with them??? Could this all stem from past lives' karmic imprint/memories?
On a positive note, they designed a 3rd bathroom for them instead of doing the genderless BS they did here.
