Red Carpet Appearance Makes Gender-Nonbinary Actress Question Body Hair Standards
Yahoo Beauty ^ | 4-4-2017 | leah Prinzavalli

Last night was hard. It was my first bonafide red carpet in LA (at the Beverly Hilton of all places, where they host the Golden Globes) and for some reason I felt really alienated from my body. Last night it really started to dawn on me just how much further we have to go. While gender nonconforming and nonbinary people are making progress in some ways, it's generally only been people who fit a certain androgynous, hairless, youthful look. Last night on the red carpet, I felt the weight of just how radical my chest hair and armpit hair and leg hair continue to be. I felt out of place because I refuse to get rid of the hair that's on my body. I felt the weight of what it means to push back against the idea that hairlessness equals beauty. And I started to get a sense of just how hard it's going to be to make it as a hairy nonbinary femme in this industry. I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with choosing to wax or shave, but last night I felt like the only girl in the world who doesn't choose to do so. I've always known that my beauty will take time for others

A flower, for instance, can be very beautiful.

And a potato, for instance, may be hearty and nutritious.

But a flower dressed as a potato is ugly and has no nutritional value.

He is mentally ill and should be under the care of a doctor or in an institution. This person needs help not being told lies that this is somehow ok or “healthy”.
