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

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.

What's so silly about naming a product after what it does: screens your skin from the sun? It's pretty self explanatory. Meanwhile "suncream" is ambiguous and mildly sexual.
