Gender Studies I

My softball team played against a team with a trans woman last night with no issue. Our co-ed league rules require an even number of men and women on the field (or if you're short handed you can be off by 1), and that your line up bat boy-girl-boy-girl.

I'm hoping we get to the day where she doesn't feel the need to tell the other coach/team that they have a transgender woman on the team before the game starts, but I'm guessing that currently it's the best way to avoid questions and arguments about adhering our co-ed rules.

No fun. When the myth becomes the legend, print the legend.

Masculinity is fragile and delicate, so we're calling eye concealer "War Paint."

Products like this always have "edgy" names. Just look at any high end cologne. That's just the nature of branding in that sector of the market.

So it's guyliner?

I don't get this, honestly. Males (cis or trans) that wear eyeliner/facial makeup likely don't care what you call it, do they? This kind of seems like a dumb marketing gimmick. Help me out here; am I missing something obvious?
