I don’t think anyone would be able to tell she’s trans. It’s either the extreme plastic surgery or the camera that they’re staring at. She looks better than the average patient on Botched. If she thinks she’s getting copped and outed, it’s because she’s being filmed in public, and in a conservative Soviet country.
It’s obvious that Geno and Jasmine are playing it up for ratings, but Nikki seems legitimately insane. No man will sleep with a woman who acts like a teenage boy and begs for sex every ten seconds. If the catch isn’t satisfying, you don’t want the fish.
They handled Gabe respectfully enough, but TLC’s portrayal of Nikki seems offensive and stereotypical.
I’m a trans man. I do know that for me specifically, in the beginning I did get a higher libido and I feel like I kept it but it’s not as bad in the beginning. So I’m sure her hormones do something similar to her. But you’d think she’d have it under control being on estrogen (I’m assuming) for 20+ years.
But I wonder if her wanting to have sex so much is a validation thing? Like “cis straight men want to have sex with me because I am a hot woman.” And it gives her the validation that she is “woman enough.” I know sometimes certain behaviors manifest because of that.
I do think she’s banana town though. Even if it’s those things, I don’t think it should be this amplified or for her to feel entitled.
