That’s kind of the point of the meme. They’re “identifying” a TERF by appearance alone the same way TERFs “identify” trans people by appearance alone. Neither is actually possible to do, and the only way a TERF can refute the meme is to point out their logic in believing you can judge people by appearance is flawed. The joke isn’t in the appearance bashing, the joke is in the that appearance bashing is clearly invalid and the more people who point that out, the easier it is to defend trans people when the same thing happens to them.
I can’t guarantee that was OPs intent in posting the meme, but it was certainly the original point of the meme.
Edit: Just realized I replied to the same person twice with the same thing. Probably didn’t need to do that. Sorry.
Botox is literally botulism? I never made the connection. I thought it was a weird medical silicone or some shit. But nope it’s actually a deadly fucking toxin.
Do the people who get it regularly even know what it is? What the fuck
Botulism is the poisoning you get from toxins produced by naturally occurring Clostridium botulinum bacteria. It can be a food-bourne illness and it’s the main reason you don’t give babies honey or peanut butter.
Botox is a treatment made out of it because it’s really good at blocking nerve signals so it “relaxes” involuntary muscles in the face that produce worry lines that make you look old. Derived from the name - BOtulinum TOXin. My dad has treatments to calm down involuntary twitches of his eye, and it works well for that.
I always enjoy thinking about the fact that botulinum toxins in their undiluted form are one of the strongest toxins in existence
Do people really botox their lips? I always thought that was foreheads.
I don’t think there’s a limit to what people do with botox
No you’re right, it would be “lip fillers,” not Botox.
But OP was too focused on attacking the appearance of a woman, without considering subject matter accuracy or whether it was fair to do so. 🙄

As with so many things, it’s the dosage that does it. I honestly can’t tell if informing patients about it is a good or a bad idea.
