Red Carpet Appearance Makes Gender-Nonbinary Actress Question Body Hair Standards

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

That is not a good look for Lucy Liu (who is absolutely gorgeous on Elementary)

Not bad bleach good sir, but my post #39 is better bleach. However, both are bleach of most high quality. Just a matter of judgement in an argument that I might lose most gracefully. :) God I love eye bleach!

I think I’d take my chances in the war zone.

This is the product of a society that feels it has to mainstream deviancy.

Gender non-binary?!?!?! Where do these people come up with such phrases?

...

Universities that are heavily subsidized with your tax dollars.

“We” didn’t. Those people who won were from a completely different world.

Now Corporal Klinger was OK, the young man in the article is just sad. What a twisted life.

One of my admitted weaknesses - a slinky redhead in a black dress. Don’t do that again. Thank you.

You’re MALE, ffs. You also appear to have a mental illness.
