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 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.
