“Yeah, we shouldn’t judge people by the outward image they put so much effort into projecting; We shouldn’t judge anyone, at all, for any reason, ever.”
So you take it to the other extreme and judge every book by its cover? Whether you know anything about the person or not, just make a snap judgement, damn someone to being automatically evil in your own mind without getting to know them at all? Black fingernails and a “gay accent” doesn’t mean a person is gay or a pedophile or a freak. Just because I don’t wear much makeup or frilly clothes, and have a deep voice, I’ve been accused of being a lesbian. I am not. I am a conservative Christian heterosexual woman, but someone like you would never take the time to find that out, because you’d rather take the easy way out and damn me before you know me. Shame on you.
Ha ha, shame on me for not running a ten page character profile on every service employee that I anticipte contact with for less than twenty minutes. Yes, I judge service people by the aura they choose to project. A flannel & jeans wearin saleswoman might be great fun as a friend, but I’m not going to ask her opinions about lingerie. I wouldn’t ask a biker guy about make-up. I wouldn’t ask a gay man to help me choose a lawnmower. Might they be experts in their fields? Sure. Do I have half an hour to strike up a conversation with them, delve into their past, and find out whether they majored in cosmetology or mechanical engineering? No.
I just don’t care that much.
Everyone gets judged; the only way to avoid it is to ‘say nothing, do nothing, be nothing’. If you don’t like the way you’re percieved, then change your appearance. Otherwise, just sit back and enjoy it.
Anyway, for alot of people, having a gay hairdresser would be a positive thing. Does that mean people that choose him over the woman are mean and judgemental, too?
