The Drag Queen makeup that young women favor doesn't help.

Yeah, I don't get the appeal of this either. To me these young women do look like drag queens, and have all the appeal of Tammy Faye Bakker (which is to say, none). Remember when "the natural look" was all the rage?

About plastic surgery: Long before the gender vendors came up with the anodyne & baby-talk terms "top surgery" and "bottom surgery," cosmetic surgeries in the US had become normalized (& the risks minimized) by such phrasing as "she's getting some work done" or "I had my eyes/face/tits/[insert other body part]done."

It's like how cosmetic rhinoplasties have always been known simply as "nose jobs."

Girls in my high school decades ago used to get nose jobs, but now it's the full package - nose jobs, breast implants, lip fillers, cheek fillers, jaw work, liposuction and then the Drag Queen makeup to top it off.

But it's now in the middle-class and as normal as having your teeth cleaned, and affecting men too, when before it was somewhat limited to women who were wealthy and older. Sad.
