“but it wasn’t that bad”

did it hurt? did you feel scared? unsafe? were you embarrassed? humiliated? terrified? did you feel confused on why? does it keep you up at night? do you avoid being in a similar situation? did you cry? did you want to cry? who told you it wasn’t that bad?

legitimately begging you guys to stop using bald as your ‘none of the above’ answer (and I do not want to hear about ‘what if I’m doing a hairstyle quiz?’ you KNOW that’s not what I’m talking about here) bc I don’t think anyone realizes that like. at best in context it’s taken as a joke about default avatars or whatever. at worst, you’re playing into a long history of just being a fucking asshole.

baldness is just a trait its not a joke. I made a post on this a while ago but no one’s hair should be a joke unless the person who styled it intends for it to be. you think of being balding/bald specifically as being funny because popular media has convinced you it is so no one gets bothered when they make fun of bald people. But despite popular belief, hair is generally not a fashion trend, it’s a trait, and the thing is that baldness (like many hair types) is not always a choice. some people chose to be bald. a lot of people do not. people become bald for various reasons, but specifically stuff like various kinds of alopecia or cancer treatment or tension baldness can be incredibly traumatic experiences that are only added to when people treat their hair loss as a funny joke.

please think about it. what is actually funny about other people’s baldness. is there any kind of humor about it which isn’t punching down? because if there isn’t, the joke isn’t funny, it’s just mean.

what happened to vanilla extract? what happened to just saying ‘none of the above’? can we please be normal about balding/bald people for once

i hate that it’s seen as ok for people to make fun of skin conditions

this includes skin conditions that are caused/exacerbated by poor hygiene btw

With all the love we give our hairy folks can we give the same love to our non hairy folk as well

Not in a “love the people who fit the societal norm” way just a “love the people who are losing hair.” Way

love the people who are balding

love the people who are bald

love the people who are loosing hair due to aging

love the people who are loosing hair due to medical reasons

love the people who can’t grow hair.

love the people who stop growing hair.

Should body hair be normalized? Yes of course. Body hair is a “normal” part of being human. But not all humans are “normal”. Recognize that there are disabled people who don’t have body hair or maybe any hair. Look at them and appreciate them. Love them just the same.
