A)  Would you think it rational that someone who has been mistreated because of their appearance, been rejected romantically by others because of their appearance, and been directly and indirectly told scores of times that they are ugly and romantically undesirable, develops the opinion that they are going to find it very difficult to obtain a romantic partner because of the way they look?

It is understandable why humans hold to various opinions based on their experience (and perceptions of their experiences), but it doesn't mean these opinions can't still be based on irrational thinking. For example, if someone gets bullied or mistreated for their looks by a select group of people, that doesn't mean nobody at all could fall for them. It's a nonsequitur

B)  Do you think that things like body dysmorphia and catatrosphising are likely symptoms of the trauma caused by being mistreated and socially rejected because of looks?

Yes, but again that doesn't mean that this thinking is rational.

C)  Do you think that going a long time without basic psychological needs, like intimacy and friendship and love etc, is trauma inducing in itself?

Yes, but again it doesn't mean that the resultant thinking that they have no worth and that nobody could ever love them is rational.

D)  Do you think that someone who has been traumatised because of their appearance, and who is struggling with dating etc, will be best helped (if possible) by some form of course in psychology or becoming good looking?

Why only these two options? A course in psychology would help of course, but at the end of day, what ideally would help is to get them to challenge their own thoughts and biases, keeping in mind not only the selective observations they are prone to hold but all the observational evidence at hand. With the help of an effective professional of course.

On the other hand, what lesson does one learn by magically becoming good looking? That one's worth is measured by how good they look? What a unhealthy (and unreasonable) way of looking at things.
