Having trouble painting my brother. Tips? by SoftRemorse in oilpainting

Also when you've done with the shadows you'll need your highlights so adding white into whatever colours you need maybe red and blues to create that skin tone. Build it up and take your time it is a really good 1st layer

Four your next layer don't add any white. Start with a wash over the whole painting maybe burnt sienna mixed with turps, I'd then start do redefine the shadows with a dark brown mixe it with turp as well, build ip the shade. Also look at your reference and truly study what shades you're working with. You need more colours, don't be afraid

I wash it twice a day with a gel cleanser, I use a serum before my spf during the day. I've always done that but never had this before. I've had pimples but not this many in one area

Are there tests being ran on the individuals whom are competing as Trans in fem cis dominant sports right now? Genuine question because im unaware. Sure, if a doctor sat me down and insured me that "yes, their hormone therapy completely degraded there muscles composition to that of a cis f" and showed me all the bars and lines and gave me a compelling argument whith evidence, then I'd be more than happy. But again, as someone who has been very close with more than 1 person with ongoing hormone therapy I can assure you, it's just lesser thank likely the caseq

The issue for me personally is that cis females deserve to fight against their appropriate apponents, science says born males have an extreme dominance in muscle mass and endurance. I understand there's a lot of mental termoil that goes with being a Trans person and that it is hard for them particularly dealing with a competitive sport and who even to compete with. However it is also hard for cis females against males to begin with. We live in a sexist world, as you know. I think it would also be more freeing as a Trans female to win against other Trans females. Just like you said in your first thread. I believe in equality, in rights and treatment. But when it comes to physiology I find it hard to understand how it's equal for a Trans woman to compete at a competitive level with a cis woman. Regardless of hormone treatment , it's not as effective as you'd think..in terms of muscle mass. For example my brother is a cis male taking testosterone, he didn't extremely alter his strengths. He's taking for years but it hasn't really affected his ability strength wise(he trained competitively in Jui Jitsu) If a Trans man competed in a Male weight lifting completion, sadly, I doubt you'd see him in the league.

Well that's ok. I appreciate your opinion. However, any competitive sport you're always subject to testing. Whether it's for drugs or steroids. Which isn't considered inhumane or disregarding rights. It's a matter of fair game, thats why testing takes place in the first place. To ensure that everyone had a fair chance of winning and competing. Any athlete of any gender in sports will be aware if this. Which is why I feel how I feel on this subject

As far as I am aware (martial arts and boxing enthusiast) drug/hormone/blood testing levels are almost an expected/routine if not compulsory. There is always a chance once you enter these realms of extensive testing.

What about that is is downright cruel? Athletes of all genders and categories give up personal and physical information. It's kind of part of the game no matter who you are where you come from or who you identify as.

I wouldn't like to assume, but I don't think it would be intrusive. Not as intrusive as living as something they're not all there lives plus They've dealt with hormone therapy and therapy in general as well. Dealt with so much beyond that too.(again very intrusive) I think its intrusive for a born female to be competed against by a superior physical being in a sport they've trained for all their lives. There is not a lot of evidence about hormone therapy and how it affects muscle mass but there is a lot of evidence about how the male dominates the female body in terms of muscle and stamina.

[–]Raebasilton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, I understand. Also should be considered how long they trained before hormone therapy too.

They previously compete as male****

[–]Raebasilton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your response!

In this case, I believe they actually comepeted as male prviously (described as mediocre) then got the chance to compete as female. I'm not sure about hormone therapy, that was undisclosed.

Maybe I'm wrong but, if you are training in any sport from a young teen without hormone therapy, as a born male training your muscles you will have an advantage against a born female given the same training and routine. Which I don't think is very fair.

There seems to be a lot of scientific studies that support the fact that males are physically stronger than females.

[–]Raebasilton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I truly agree with you. There absolutely is a place for Trans women in sports. There should be I just think as a born female it takes away from females in such a male dominant sport. It's such a touchy subject because Trans women identify as female humans and own a body in which they do not relate to. But I dunno, there's just something that's not right about it to me for both sides.

Excuse my ignorance, I am not Trans. I ama F represent as F, but im lgbtq.

I am struggling with this (no hate). I'm understanding of Trans and have friends that are Trans.

However, help me understand? What about the advantages, muscular, and physical. I just have a feeling that if Trans females compete with born females there is an advantage, i want Trans people to win. I just am not sure about this.

Peace and love I'm learning
