  • “Female” is a descriptor of sex (element of anatomy), not gender identity (element of consciousness). Considering that:

    1. the whole foundation of the notion of being trans relies on sex and gender being two distinct things
    2. generally speaking, the fundamental definition of being “trans” is for there to be a disparity between one’s sex and one’s gender identity

    It’s not transphobic to use a sex adjective to refer to homologous body parts that are naturally inherent to that sex, it’s just matter-of-fact. For example, only males/females are capable of suffering from prostate/ovarian cancer–and this population includes trans women/men.










  • women struggling in the office when they did not put on makeup that specific day, how the behavior of random strangers changed etc.

    It’s simply the difference that’s being noticed, and no one’s really at fault for that, on either side. Any woman who never wears makeup is also never going to get the same ‘are you sick?’ kind of reactions on any given day she doesn’t wear makeup to work.


  • Same, I’m really grateful she has no interest/desire to wear makeup. It was also nice to know what her face looked like from day 1, which is what this app is meant to facilitate.

    The more I think about it, the stranger the notion of ‘gatekeeping her real face’ behind a full-on relationship sounds to me, lol.

    P.S. lol, I just remembered reading an old ‘hack’ for this years and years ago: make a water park your first outing together.
