#KT tape doesn't come in skin tones usually or as wide of widths but their special removal oil is not anything special

Maybe I'm just cynical but I categorically distrust nearly all products aimed at trans people. Things like binders, gaffs, breast forms, packers and such make sense as trans-specific clothing, but there's no way to tailor a T-shirt to be "ideal for binding" or to formulate skincare products that are especially good for people on HRT. The ingredients you need for breakouts are the same a cis person would need, benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid and adapalene are all just as effective on acne from an endogenous puberty as transgender one. In part I dislike this marketing tactic because I view these companies as trying to take advantage of freshly out trans people who are inexperienced and feel like they've gotta overhaul their whole lives (especially those who are uncomfortable just going into the other gendered section of a store). But I also don't like how it creates/reinforces an artificial difference in cis and trans identity, when most things are held in common. Every human experiences life differently, but through the same component building blocks of emotion, and our bodies are just not that different from one another's.
