Is this a trans advert for foundation? Don't know what to think. Eradication of women?

No it's make-up marketed at men. It's the next big thing (again)

Oh for crying out loud. So wearing makeup is now on the list of things trans people can’t do?

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 14/10/2018 18:38

Nothing wrong with men wearing make up

Also, I thing ShayShay describes themselves as a non-gender-conforming drag artist, not as a transwoman (although I am aware the former is under the "trans umbrella".

Really not sure how a picture of a man wearing makeup erases women?

Shay Shay self describes as a ‘gender non conforming drag creature’.

I reckon that qualifies as extending the bandwidth of ‘man’ and I have no objection to Rimmel marketing at men and women.

I have a problem with transwomen being held up as better/more perfect than bogstandard cunty women in adverts but that’s not happening here. This is good. It’s like the Grayson Perry thread earlier.

Lol, way to kick the arse out of make up sales. Foundation plastered over razor burn, YACK.

TBH I don’t really care about companies hawking their wares to whomever they think will buy it as long as nobody a) claims that putting pigmented creams on your face somehow makes you a women and b) insists I have to wear it.

I don’t have any issue with them showing any man or woman wearing their products.

If they say that it’s a woman when it’s a man = different story.

Men can wear makeup.

I don't think they are erasing women, more like expanding their market.
