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 spent one summer day snorkeling around tidepools as a kid; it was a blast. Saw a bunch of fish, even an octopus!

      …And I didn’t put sunscreen on at all, so my back got so burned I couldn’t hardly sit or lie down the entire rest of the trip lol

      Never forgot sunscreen again that’s for sure

        for everyone reading this: beaches are dangerous. there’s practically no trees -> no shade. people forget suncream because they’re not used to it, neither is your skin. --> pls don’t go to the beach at midday. instead go either in the morning or in the afternoon, when the sun is at a flatter angle in the sky.
