    What an hilarious article. I couldn’t read all of it: I got to the bit where they said upholster your furniture in velvet or silk and I had to stop, before laughing so hard hurt me.

    There’s an awful lot of education required for something that’s supposed to be innate.

    At the risk of offending someone, I’ll say that all-white rooms with all-white furniture and pastel pink accents are nauseating. They literally give me headaches.

    I’ve never seen one. But all the people I know have pets, children and sense.

    I really hope they write a guide for transmen.

    @2 Too much like a padded cell for my liking. I imagine a straightjacket would intensify the nausea.

    my decor isn’t all that womany. I’m not sure it’s even decor.

    I’ve often jokingly said that my decor style is “early warehouse,” because I’m pretty much the opposite of minimalist, and a lot of the furniture and furnishings are dedicated to storing things, organizing things, or creating places to keep all the things I have.

    “Creating a feminine home” isn’t a goal of mine. I like a comfortable, easy-to-manage home, working around a baseline of “things I like.” Just another confirmation that I don’t “woman” in the accepted way. I must not be a woman then, according to genderist doctrine.

    The idea of a “feminine home” kind of makes me gag…and the image in the article just confirms.

    Mind you, I also hate drab insurance office style, where everything is grey and beige and brown. I like lots of color and lots of tchotchkes along with lots of books. But bubblegum pink everywhere no.

    Looks like a bathroom at grandma’s house (if she still had a house and if we weren’t estranged); it’s hideous.

    Hang on, didn’t we deal with “Life Coaches” yesterday?

    It’s “Womanface” for the home.
