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
Just so you don’t get shit in the future, the word is “sunscreen.”

You should really make sure you’re right before being pedantic.
I’ve never heard anyone call it sun cream in 30+ years, so it’s an understandable thing to think someone is using a slightly wrong word. I don’t find it pedantic at all. Wrong, apparently, but not pedantic.
well in german it’s called “sonnencreme” (= sun cream). so it’s very understandable to me that somebody translates it that way.
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/pedantic disapproving : of, relating to, or being a pedant (as in being overly concerned with minor details)
I don’t consider informing someone of something they might not know to be “overly concerned with minor details”
You literally don’t know what you don’t know. Learning new things and informing people of new things shouldn’t be frowned upon.
Personally, I understood what sun cream is from context, and assumed OP is not a native English typer. Close-but-not-quite words like that are common, and a polite correction is appreciated by many. I absolutely love when I use the wrong word in Spanish and someone politely corrects me, because then I understand the language better.
I’m sorry if that comes off as “pedantic” to you, I guess.
Personally I find any unsolicited grammar “advice” unnecessary and incredibly rude, doubly so when it’s not even right. It just breeds toxicity and devolves conversations into pedantry about pedantry.
Well then I guess have fun being upset on other people’s behalf for the rest of your life. 👍
