The Lizzo Experiment Backfires

I tried a variation on the Lizzo experiment today and it resulted in my friend, a forty two year old woman, crying at a Starbucks. It turns out that no woman who says trans women are beautiful believes it enough to take it as a compliment when told that she looks like a trans woman.

A text-based joke describes a friend crying at Starbucks after being told she looks like a trans woman. The punchline exposes a perceived contradiction in her claim that trans women are beautiful, using the Lizzo experiment as a reference to a social experiment about compliments and attractiveness.
