Remove Make-up at Night

Make-up is temporary. We wipe it off at night. Make-up does not make a man a woman. 

We cannot destroy humanity - male and female - because of make up.

Clever make-up is very effective. It makes actresses very beautiful. That’s why it’s a big deal on the internet, that Actress X posted pics without make-up. Apparently, it indicates bravery and confidence on her part. However, make-up will never turn a man into a woman because of the knock on the door early in the morning. He answers the door and the visitor sees a man, since the trans man washed off the make-up, before he went to bed.

I grew up not wearing make-up. Never thought about it because it was not around. Mom, aunts, older cousins, sisters-in-law, grandmothers and other women in the community that helped bring me up, did not wear make-up.

The more I travelled, the more I realized that some women have no alternative but to wear make up because of skin problems. Competition among cosmetics companies is fierce, but they all have one advice. Remove make-up before you go to bed. Apparently, it’s bad for the skin. I don’t know the details. All I think about, is staining the pillows.

Movies and Make-up

Make-up creates an illusion. That is why hair and make-up are the most important departments on a movie set, after the director. Actors and actresses are ‘made up’ to look important, aggressive, sexy, angel-like, like a princess, holy like a nun, and Elizabeth Taylor to look black, when she played Cleopatra, the Egyptian queen. But all of it comes out at night.

Why do men playing women need make-up?

Yes. It’s a game. Unfortunately it is the pyramid of hatred for women. The LGB …. alphabet men do all kinds of sexual experiments on each other behind closed doors and in places called baths. It’s their business. They have a right to their bodies, only their bodies. Therefore, the majority of humanity that believes in boys and girls, does not understand why trans men need make-up to tell the world that they are now women. How can we tell without the red lipstick and wigs?

Make-up is temporary. We wash it off at night. Boys and girls wake up the same way they went to sleep, as boys and girls.
