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

The hell is "suncream"? Did you mean sunscreen?

It was a literal translation from the German word for it, but it is a correct English word (that means the same as sunscreen)

I've never heard suncream here in the US, but apparently it is a valid term. Sunscreen is a better word, though, because it won't be confused with suntan lotion, which "suncream" could be. Sonnenschutzmittel looks to be the closest equivalent to "sunscreen".

I believe that is the more commonly used term in the UK while sunscreen is more USA.

Color me surprised. Leave it to the Brits to take a normal word and made it silly and weird!

Oh yeah, because "Sunscreen" is so sensible. ☀️📺

Listen to yourself.
