Controversial - the community to discuss controversial topics.

This is not a safe space nor an echo-chamber, you come here to discuss in a civilized way, no flaming, no insults!
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, "trust me bro" is not a valid argument.

"visible appearance"
"physical characteristics"
I'm sorry, what's the difference?
"relatevly permanent"
This is an oxymoron I think, it's either permanent or it's not, your need to apply the caveat shows that this too is temporary, can be reversed that they are in fact equal things.
I'm happy to be shown I'm wrong, I'm just having trouble parsing your argument.
Yeah, sorry. This happens sometimes when you know multiple languages and your brain hasn't switched from thinking on other language before you write in English. What I have meant, is that makeup is very easy to apply and remove. It doesn't change your body functions and abilities. Surgery is much harder to undo( if even possible) and it changes your body actually. So it is not correct from my point of view to compare temporal look with a long-term body change, moreover to use a racial analogy for this.
Thank you for the clarification, it's much appreciated.
