First I keep getting called trans online as a cis woman. Now plenty of them are beautiful but there is a very specific implication to telling a woman she "looks trans". And they say this shit to any woman who isn't hyperfeminine no matter how gorgeous they are so I would dismiss it as a cheap insult for attention.

But then multiple people independent of each other have been telling me my jaw is square. Sometimes as an insult ("Your jaw is sharper than mine. You sure you're not a dude?" and another calling me mid because my jaw is square) but even when I asked what my face shape was, comments say square. I just asked for feedback and they said "if I were to nitpick one thing your face shape is quite square."

Well now I can't unsee it and I feel masculine and ugly. I thought I was done with insecurities but people just had to point this out. Now I can't stop noticing all the pretty women with small tapered chins. Nobody has ever alluded to it irl so now I'm wondering if this is why strangers stare at me in public. And no I'm not being paranoid, I'll feel like I'm being stared at and glance over and sure enough they're staring right at me not breaking eye contact. It's happened multiple times.

• "You look trans"

• "Congrats you pass"

• "Are you sure you're not a dude?"

• "You look like He-Man"

• "Your jawline is sharper than mine"

• aggressive 'dude' and 'bro'ing

I'm a cis girl and never received any comments like this in real life. One dude even said "I thought this was rslash transpassing" as if that was an own when it just begs the question of HOW he even knew that was a sub that exists?? Just casually self-reporting their obsession with trans girls is crazy.

even when they're attracted to men it's just the pretty boys because of comphet. it all comes full circle to women secretly being lesbians.

I have dry skin and (IMO) big pores and sebaceous filaments I wanted to address so I decided on a simple skincare routine, including a mousturizer and SA cleanser. Every time I use the cleanser though my skin would burn slightly and develop blotchy red patches. Thankfully mild and would fade quickly, but never improved over time. It kept happening every time I used it.

I also started getting pimples and blemishes which was never a problem for me. I've always had super clear skin and the rare pimple will go away within a day or so. Currently I have like 5-6 pimples/blemishes on my face and they've stuck around. They're fairly small but still, that's unheard of for me. And I've backed off the cleanser, haven't touched it in weeks and I still have this issue. This is not a "salicylic acid bad!!!" post I'm just wondering what is going on. Maybe I have sensitive skin and it upset my skin barrier?
