<html> <p>Hello, Steemit! As I was browsing news posts here today, I came across a video on a very controversial subject. Apparently, the issue is that a well-known makeup brand named Sephora promotes the fact that a little boy is allowed to use make up to "be himself". The video is actually named so - "<strong>11 Year Old Boy PRAISED For Wearing Makeup To Identify As His “True Self</strong>”. If you are curious, you can find it <a href="https://steemit.com/dtube/@pressfortruth/3o5vmja9">here</a> </p> <p>I understand that in this particular story people are very concerned about <em>gender vs. sex ideology</em> in western society. The whole issue revolves about whether it's right or wrong to see "gender" as something fluid and not dependent on a person's biological sex. But I won't go into the "gender thing" now. When I was a teenager, I myself had issues with my gender identity (and many other things for that matter), and it's a whole other big discussion. </p> <p>This video didn't call my attention because the person in question is a little boy. In fact, <em>I would be just as horrified if this young human being was a girl</em>! </p> <p>Do you know why? </p> <p>Because my concern is the other, bigger thing that's going on. </p> <p>It's truly disturbing to me to see that <em>any person</em> - a grown woman, a grown man, or even worse, a little child, <em>needs</em> to use face paint to be their TRUE SELF. </p> <p>What the hell is going on in human society? I am not sure if anyone else can see the absurdity of these issues which clearly come from heavy pop-culture, show business, and mass-media brainwashing. We, the people, are being taught that we absolutely need STUFF and LOOKS to express ourselves. </p> <p>I am not kidding you, I have known women who wouldn't get out of their apartment to walk down the corridor to throw the trash out without putting a ton of make up on their face. I have known people - both male and female - who wouldn't feel comfortable if they got exposed to people without putting on a certain style of clothes. </p> <p>The issue is not that the person in the video is a boy. To me, the more pressing issue is that self-expression, being comfortable with oneself, or even just being YOURSELF is associated with drawing a <strong>mask </strong>on your face. </p> <p>What do you think? Am I exaggerating the whole thing, or is this social world going more and more nuts? Would you want your 11-year-old be dependent on make up to feel comfortable? Do you rely on a certain style when you go out in public? </p> <p>Just some questions to think about. </p> </html>

Iam stay with you in this point to. No child no man and no woman ho needs makeup or operations to be himself, is healthy for me. One of a lot parts mankind do not understand that this is a maden problem from the people, ho do not need money to act. ;-) The people will say you should be more tolerant, i say do not hear them. They are in the madness. And if the in the madness the dont know what they do. Perfekt slaves...
