Found this on Facebook. The comments are evenly split between people insisting the faces look male and people insisting the faces look female. Lots of men with no makeup on talking about the “science” of how makeup works.

    how many levels of gender reaction do you have to be on for an androgynous face to somehow become an optical illusion? the not-so-secret third option of "hold up, why am i doing this?"

      I think it’s a matter of entitlement. They feel entitled to know everyone’s gender at a glance and make snap judgements about them as a result

            What next? You'll tell me that HRT won't stop me from pooping like a real girl too?????

              You just need to be patient with that, it's a marathon, not a sprint. I'm two years on HRT and i've gone from one poop per hour (which is around the male average) to once a day, as you'd expect of a teenage girl. A lot of cis women do not cease bowel movements until they're in their mid twenties (this is why a lot of gen x women refer to the 1980s as "the poo poo days").

      While the phrasing comes off as obnoxious, I think this is just recognizing the gender of the subject
