For about 100% of my life I wore the same look: pants and T-Shirt/Hoodie. In Summer it was a short pair of pants and a T-Shirt. Another important thing is, that I rarely get sunburn, even when not using suncream, and I therefore rarely use suncream. These two things get quite funny, when You start to transition and start wearing more revealing clothes than usual.

So there was a pride parade a few weeks back and I decided to wear this very cool shoulder free top. Guess who forgot to wear suncream, and then burned all of her shoulders, because she never ran around shoulder free, and therefore her skin was not adapted to the sun?

So please for the love of god, when going out with more revealing clothes than usual:

WEAR FUCLING SUNCREAM

        What’s so silly about naming a product after what it does: screens your skin from the sun? It’s pretty self explanatory. Meanwhile “suncream” is ambiguous and mildly sexual.

          It only sounds weird to you because you’ve not lived with it all your life.

          I can do what you just did; What’s so silly about making a product after what it is: A cream that protects you from the sun? It’s pretty self explanatory. Meanwhile “sunscreen” is ambiguous and mildly sexual.

          Sunscreens are films you put on glass to filter some of the light.

          Incidentally, What’s sexual about cream? I don’t know why you said that and I think you’re telling on yourself. I left that part alone in the above because “suncream” and “sunscreen” are about as sexual as eachother to normal people.
