Personally the only infighting I've seen is between tankies (auths) and leftists, but perhaps I don't hang in the "right" places.

I really struggle as well. One tip I got was to lean my hand on my face. So a single contact point between your hand and face that you kinda pivot around, which helps a lot. Still hard.
Another thing you can do is go for a smoky eyes look instead. Most examples are black but you can really go for any color combo you like! Smoky eyes I think usually also involves eyeliner, but you can still play around without and get pretty eye makeup.
I find it hard to leave the safety of blåhaj. Just all sorts of bigots and toxic people out there. Not all of lemmy, sure, but enough that I don't like looking around.

Hmm? 80% to 20% what? Push for what?

This community is not a place to debate the participation of trans women in sports.
Here's a digestible video on the topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flSS1tjoxf0
Long story short the entire subject is being pushed by right wing lobby organizations to get people riled up about trans people and secure votes for the right. That's it. Do not fall for their bullshit.
Gosh some of my siblings keep going on about nuance and how well researched they are (implying I am not) and then telling me palestinians are just as bad as israel (they both do violence, and violence is always bad actually 🙄)
whimsy and silliness
Illegal >:(
Someone needs to hold the biologists responsible
I think it's a complicated topic. As a trans woman there are many benefits to a number of cosmetic surgeries that I can get, such as dysphoria relief and unfortunately less discrimination.
Personally I feel everyone should have the option to have a body they are more in tune with. I have a cis friend that wants to reduce the size of her breasts. She briefly mentioned wanting the surgery for the sake of her back, but regardless of reason I think it is always valid to pursue cosmetic surgeries if desired.
There's of course the issue of unrealistic beauty standards and the like which impacts us all. For me I dunno how much of my dislike of my face is learned and how much is innate. I'm guessing it's both. Hormones changing my body made me like it much more so I already have some sense of how much things can improve and how much it improved my life.
Be the change you want to see in the world! Just need to pump out uninteresting content and get some initial people in
