Historians explain why everyone was so darn pale in those Victorian-era portraits

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.upworthy.com/victorian-era-pale-portraits

This is a long, and potentially heavy post. Thank you to everyone who has been positive and supported of me here. I just don't feel like I can continue this path and achieve whatever it is I seem to want to be.

FAQ:
- Yes. I have been seeing therapists for years
- I understand I can be a trans woman and not be "pretty", but that is a difficult road and maybe I'll just be happier being a cis man.
- The photos I post here are the best of the best out of thousands of selfies. In almost all of them I am wearing breast forms, either a corset or waist cincher, always a wig and 45 minutes of makeup.
- In real life I am 6'1", 200 lbs with short grey hair. I don't pass in real life that well even with all that stuff on.


You're all amazing 🥰💖🫂💖
