Why do people put so much energy into projecting identity politics on a superfluous detail like hair? Who cares? It's all just a vanity concern, selfishly obsessed with what others think about how you look.
Does your hair make you have some intrinsic identity to others that you are or are not going for? Fuck you, I don't care.
Do you authentically care, yourself?
Maybe you care about the politics - I can understand that. There is legitimate fear around legislating serious, dangerous things to your identity (not hair). Why the fuck are you spending your time and energy on hair???
dayummmm take a breath lol, its just a dumb meme
I 100% agree with you.
Do you care about your appearance in any capacity or do you just roll out of bed and go on with your day?
If so, why the fuck are you spending your time and energy on your appearance?
I do, of course. I even do my hair. I didn't mean to imply that one should not care about it hygienically, just for your own health and personal self image.
I just don't understand the urge to thrust gender identity onto hair style and then argue about what that means to the polity online.
