Troye Sivan<\/strong><\/a> is speaking out about commentary regarding his appearance.<\/p>\n The 30-year-old \u201cWhat\u2019s the Time Where You Are?\u201d singer shared a Substack<\/a> post reacting to recent criticism of his appearance on a red carpet.<\/p>\n \u201cI oscillate constantly between feeling like i\u2019m aging in a good way, getting \u2018sexier\u2019 with time, and then feeling like gollum\u2019s very close pop-singing relative. So decrepit, somehow both skinny and fat at the same time,\u201d he began.<\/p>\n Keep reading to find out more\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m 30. I\u2019ve struggled with my body image for a lot of my life, as i\u2019m sure most people have. I\u2019m historically famously skinny, and i\u2019m not THAT skinny anymore. I\u2019m historically famously twinky (I am still the google search result image for \u2018twink\u2019), and i\u2019m not THAT twinky anymore. Oy vey. My natural response to this pressure is two pronged, depending on the day (or hour) you catch me.\u201d<\/p>\n He then outlined the two \u201cprongs\u201d of his thinking.<\/p>\n \u201cProng #1: Let\u2019s not forget, I\u2019m woke!!! I grew up on the tumblr of 2012. Before we were woke we were Social Justice Warriors, and the corner I existed in online was on the front line. I am body positive to my core and believe that every body is beautiful. I\u2019m grateful for mine (and yours, sexy), and that it allows me to do all the things that I want to, free of pain and illness. It\u2019s also cool to age\u2026 I heard this piece of advice (anecdotally) from a person at the very top of the fashion world \u2013 \u2018stay ugly\u2019. Ie. don\u2019t f\u2013k with your face. How cool!! When everyone else has the same nose and no wrinkles and no smile lines and filler that\u2019s migrated all the way down to their necks, you\u2019ll be so happy and chic and weathered and wise. Since December 1st, i\u2019ve been going to the gym and eating more. Tracking calories, but in a way that feels less toxic than it sounds \u2013 i\u2019ve been pleasantly surprised by how much I am advised to eat. I\u2019ve been getting bigger \u2013 still lean, but more muscley, defined, and toned. It\u2019s only been 6 weeks and sometimes i\u2019ll run my hands over my chest and feel like it belongs to someone else. I have more energy and less tension in my neck. I\u2019m proud of myself.\u201d<\/p>\n He then discussed his other way of thinking.<\/p>\n \u201cProng #2: Fat transfer to my under eyes (i\u2019ve heard filler under eye is dangerous and can look bad) CONSULTATION was going to cost me $3k USD. I know because I called to ask. I\u2019d have to go under general anaesthetic, they\u2019d take the fat from my legs or abdomen (lipo, but not enough to see any change from the donor area), purify it, and then inject it into my face. I\u2019ve also heard i\u2019m in the ideal window to start \u2018baby botox\u2019. How does that look on men? I really don\u2019t want that frozen look, but I do notice my \u2018elevens\u2019 are starting to show even when i\u2019m not frowning. I frown all the time because I have light blue eyes that are very sensitive to sun. That\u2019s probably really bad. I should also probably start wearing SPF every day. I guess if i\u2019m backlit, or only show the half of my face where the volume loss under my eyes is less pronounced (my right side is worse than my left), and angle my phone up high above my head and look up sort of doe-eyed, I can kind of still look the same as I did 5 or 6 years ago. The cracks are starting to show though. What good is money and modern medicine if not to fix all of these flaws that this random sicko f\u2013ko plastic surgeon told me I have in an instagram reel?\u201d<\/p>\n\n
