I wish you could have said all this without going out of your way to name check specific women. Trust me, saying "strange looking people with excessive plastic surgery" was more than enough for all of us to immediately conjure up our own mental imagery, we didn't need the callout "like HER, yes, THAT one" tacked on.

These are public figures, so I am not offering up an apology. The "excessive or poor-quality plastic surgery" comment wasn't directed at women who get over-sized breasts; it was directed at people who get their face operated on so many times that they stop looking human. I actually admire Dolly Parton -- she is an excellent songwriter and a compassionate person with good political views -- but I have a picture of her before the breast enlargements, and I wish that she had realized back then that she didn't need to change herself. "Dolly, we would have loved you if you had remained a D-cup and not gone up to a Z-cup." I also liked Wendy Williams enough to watch her show for a while. But you are right. Naming names wasn't really necessary.
I wasn't asking for an apology, merely pointing out that your statement, and if I'm being fully honest, this reply, strikes me in a way that you may not have realized when you made it. I appreciate your time in replying.
You haven't been clear on why you are criticizing me. However, with women generally under attack by both men and trans people, perhaps singling out specific women to criticize isn't a good idea, especially since they have a right to alter their bodies as they please.

That's about the size of it. I appreciate your thoughtfulness and consideration.
