I look in the mirror sometimes and think I look good, then someone takes a photo!
It's bit like men with comb overs
Then there's this new eyebrow thing...

There was a transgender serving in a well know shop a few weeks ago, her make up looked like she had fallen into a box of chalks and she was hobbling around on ridiculously high shoes. I'm sure a bit of advice could have helped her in that case. The worst thing is, she was serving on the makeup counter.

I'm always amazed at RuPaul, she looks better than a lot of "celebrity" women.

Our theatre company did a production of this (La Cage Aux Folles) in the 1990's . We hired these original costumes, at a cost of £20,000 the make up artists came with the costumes.
Good or bad, unfortunate for some or not, nearly all the cast changed sides, and batted for the other side a couple of moths later. Wives left their husbands, husbands left their wives, some went trans, it was mayhem within the company.. One poor guy , our best singer, got such a shock at his wife going off with another woman he lost his voice for months and couldn't sing again.
These are all men.

Sauce for the goose...
Sorry Tess, but I think that is entirely different.
I for one, don't wear slacks/jeans/joggers or whatever because I am transitioning, I can assure you.
I wear them to keep my legs warm, and I'd rather not show me bloomers to the world when I am gardening.
Also of course, with the dogs jumping up it is more practical.
A man doesn't wear women's clothing for any of those reasons.

I do remember that I was only in my twenties at the time and I stood looking at this photo in bewilderment and yes, envy!! this oriental young man had completed his transformation (to the beholders' eyes) and looked an absolute beauty. I would have defied anyone to tell that he was not born a natural woman. Slim, in a tight-fitting dress, lovely natural breasts with cleavage, long slender stockingless legs, shoulder-length glossy black hair, make-up low-key and flawless,and with the looks and beauty of any of the models (Twiggy, Jean Shrimpton) at the time.
Perhaps they could let the modern day gender changers into their secrets of how to do it correctly. It certainly shocked me.

I have wondered much the same Art.
I even wondered whether it is to do with our water supply, or even technology, or both.
I read somewhere ages ago about men should not with laptops on their lap, not without a tray or some protection underneath the lap top. Apparently it was found it was damaging sperm.
Same with mobile phones kept in trouser pockets.
I would never keep my mobile in a breast pocket next to my heart either.
All the techno phobs can argue about that, it matters not, I am just saying I won't do it.
