    How do you feel about unisex public restrooms?

    in General Discussion Forum

    Posted

    If trans people have been using the bathrooms they want to for years already, as they say they have, I really don't even see the point in unisex bathrooms. There is virtually no point whatsoever to them. Yes "transphobes" might curl their noses up at the thought of them using the bathrooms they want to but there is absolutely nothing they can do to stop from doing so. I don't have an issue with it. Never have never will. Never even thought of it as an issue until now, apparently it's being made into an issue when really, it's a non issue. 

    What is an issue though is the concept of men's and women's personal spaces being taken away from them. I suffer with massive social anxiety and use toilets as an "escape" at times, away from people. Being stuck in a women's toilet with a trans woman doesn't disturb me whatsoever- being stuck in there with a MAN does though.

    And if you're non-binary you technically shouldn't have issue using either men or women's toilets. So, I think unisex bathrooms are completely pointless, socially speaking. There's a current weird obsession with making things gender neutral and this one of them.

    Creators - how much money do you make?

    I wasn't around for the heydays of Second Life, so it seemed unrealistic to me to be able to make a 6 figure income just from selling clothing. I've heard of SL millionaires but those are mostly real estate agents. 

    And heh I don't expect to be able to quit my RL job selling cosmetics in SL. I recently discovered a make up store named Adored and it just inspired me to try making my own and possibly selling them.

    So I've been considering starting up a small business in SL, selling cosmetics and possibly skins in the future when I've improved my skills, and been contemplating whether it is going to be worth it or not. I imagine the biggest money makers are obviously land owners and people that create sex beds/toys/animations etc. I saw a person within SL say yesterday that they used to make six figures just from selling clothing and cosmetics which I thought was rubbish. I can't imagine even the top clothing makers in the market making anything over 50k a year even back in SL's heyday. I do know people used to make quite a lot of money in SL, but six figures, really? Enlighten me people. x'D

    Hi everyone. I just (nearly) finished making my own skin and thought I would post it here. It is not fantastic and looks a bit basic but I'm happy with it since it was my first attempt. I just noticed when taking pictures that the face is brighter than the body... lol, so I'm gonna have to fix that.

    I've also made some make up.  I was consider selling them but don't know how to make my own applier HUDs since I know nothing at all about scripting.

    Don't understand alpha channels (Photoshop)

    in Building and Texturing Forum

    Sorry to ask a question that's already been asked probably 598 times but I'm stupid. I drew my lashes using Catwa UV in Photoshop CS 6, made an alpha channel but it doesn't show as transparent in SL no matter what I do. My channels look like this. I save as .tga and make sure alpha channels is checked but I must be doing something wrong. Do I have to save with only the alpha channel visible? Or do all the channels have to be visible?

    Dear Designers

    I hate the hypersexualization of fashion in Second Life too. It's why I prefer Japanese fashion designers/creators. They tend to value quality, creativity and uniqueness over sex appeal which is overrated to me. And I wish more designers did focus less on it, but sex sells and sheeple will be sheeple and buy it.

    My favourite stores have always been Amitomo and Zenith.

    I do wonder how people manage to do anything in RL with nails that long.  Perhaps they have servants.

    Haha I tried the super long ones for a laugh once and got fed up within a few hours.
