Don't be too disheartened, makeup really does sit differently on different people and there are specific techniques your wife probably hasn't needed to be aware of. I (AFAB-woman) noticed when I put my makeup over a friend's (AMAB-TBD) shaved face it looked surprisingly different and I had to make it darker in those areas to blend with the cheeks and forehead. That made a huge difference and that was without even looking up a tutorial. Also eye primer will do wonders for how that makeup sits. There's a lot of frustrating trial and error that I'm sure dysphoria will not help, don't lose hope immediately!

Yeah I get you, I think my discomfort is more of a general thing than this particular situation. I think it's like making fun of someone's physical features when someone nice may also have those features. Or like an effeminate male homophobe deserves to be mocked but you risk repeating things people who've been bullied for being effeminate have been hurt by. Maybe not a hill to die on but I try to avoid it myself.

I see your point alright, I can't say I've much heart to argue my point TBH. The village gossip vibe isn't for me but enjoy!

I detest these people and I understand calling out their hypocrisy. Is there anything to be said for not policing how a woman is supposed to grieve publicly though? There's plenty wrong about the shameless exploitation of Kirk's death, but something about the current narrative feels gross. Stooping to their level? I mean yeah, maybe you could infer their relationship was shallow and transactional, but like, is this really a gotcha moment that we care about?

There's a lot going on in fairness! What's the conclusion this statement is trying to suggest? Feminists aren't working hard enough/in full agreement on these specific things therefore feminism isn't worth pursuing?

Punishment, treatment, family support, victim support, anything would be nice!

You mean the Republic. Northern Ireland is real Ireland. But also yeah, most prefer not to be in the UK for sure.

You reminded me I bought berries for porridge. Thanks for the healthy breakfast reminder!

I'm probably not in the same country as you but I'd say absolutely take it. You're probably in a field where you can do the same thing again. Take the time to set yourself up as a company, get your tax affairs in order and charge everything (appropriate) to expenses and take the extra time to look for your next gig. Worst case you spent the extra time/money finding your next employment.

That's both hilarious and terrible.

Edit: I just remembered having a similar conversation with someone in my own family. Facepalm. They were fed BS and then eventually penalised for spreading it. Not sure they're off yet but disillusioned in the wrong direction for sure!

What's the context? It would be good to know who's saying this (random poster? clickbait headline? Influencer?)
