Is this what I think it is...Rimmel trans?

[takemeback]

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

Just how successful can an advertising campaign be that essentially says ‘You too could look like a man in drag’?

That remark seems rather at odds with the gender critical feminist position of saying that anyone can wear what they want.

Is that all you took from his photographs?

Ridiculous. It's an androgynous person in a bit of makeup. Epic fail on your part to cause another thread having a pop at the trans community.

Yeah a bloke wearing some Rimmel foundation is not going to cause the eradication of women. It doesnt have anything to do with the issues that most J if us are concerned about. I hope this wasn't another one of these 'fishing for screenshots' posts.

3 or 4 decades ago other than in certain parts of major cities he would have found it difficult or impossible to go about everyday life as he does

I grew up in the Goth heartlands (Northampton) and was a teenager in the 80s. I knew loads of males who wore make up daily - and most of them were working class and hard as nails.

My main complaint is that I have never found a rimmel foundation that gives that good coverage, they are all so orange I look like Judith Chalmers

Surely the whole point is that blue isn’t for boys, makeup isn’t for girls etc etc etc and gender is just a social construct
It’s when people say that they are “born in the wrong body “ because they don’t like or present the way society says they should that it’s an issue
Teen DD’s favourite make up artist is Jeffree Star

What you have there is a man wearing makeup. Men are allowed to do that. I do not feel erased by a man wearing foundation (though I would suggest plucking his brows into a less pronounced arch).

Shedloads of boys wore make up in the 90s, too. And as for mainstream advertising campaigns, MAC launched their first Viva Glam lipstick with Ru Paul as original spokesmodel.

If I had a quid for the number of times I've bought lippy off a nice boy at MAC, I'd be able to take most of FWR out for a decent coffee.

I rather like a man in make up...
