In a contentious and misleading post on social media, JD Vance, the Republican vice-presidential nominee, launched an attack on Vice President Kamala Harris’s support for LGBTQ+ inclusivity. Vance falsely accused Algerian Olympic boxer Imane Khelif of being transgender, causing widespread condemnation and backlash from human rights advocates.

    I have nothing to add, and for the record I agree with your argument.

    But holy fuck, is tattooed eyeliner really a thing? I’ve never gotten a tattoo, but that one sounds unbearably painful.

      Yeah it sounds insanely unpleasant, but beauty is pain.

      And either he has it permanent or he wears heavy eyeliner every day, all day, and never smears it.

      My mom did tattoo makeup the last several years of her life. They use much finer needles than regular tattoos, which she had a few of as well. She said it wasn’t that bad and worth no longer having makeup in her routine.

      Not too bad from the accounts I’ve heard; my wife trained for this before we stopped doing body art. A lot of women get it when their hands shake too badly to apply makeup well.
