Don't mean to be catty, but can't help but notice how some women speak as if make-up makes a woman. No, I don't wear make-up. No, I don't need make-up to become the sex I was literally born as. No, I won't feel "more like a woman" by wearing make-up and painting my nails.

I have a decade on you and I've never worn make-up. I get that some women feel like they need it (skin problems etc...) but that doesn't give anyone the right to shame me or anyone else for not wearing it. I remember a friend of my sister saying.... 1/X

"maybe you'd get served faster at the bar if you wore make-up" when I was being pointedly ignored waiting to buy a drink at my sister's hen night. I just said, loudly, "maybe if the barman knew how to do his job he'd get tips". Got my drink, didn't tip, left right after. 2/X

That was also the night all my sister's friends declared that I MUST be a lesbian (I'm straight) because not wearing make-up meant I didn't care about how I looked to men. 3/X

I explained to them, very crudely, that the only people who seemed to care about me wearing make-up were other women and the many men in my life didn't seem to give a fuck. So maybe (definitely) the "problem" was with them and not me. 4/X

Good on you! I got the "you don't need to wear make-up all the time, but maybe make an effort when we go out (to bars)." No longer friends with women who think like that. If they want to wear make-up, great, they can wear as much as they like. I just resent the expectation myself
