In this week’s episode of the Coming Out Late podcast, Robin offers us a rare peek into a conversation she has with members of her private weekly support group - The Gender Expansive Edition. With full consent Robin initiates a discussion about a facet of our humanness that is near and dear to all our hearts - our head of hair!

You’ll hear the group members discuss topics such as:

• Hair is an essential aspect of our personal identity, self expression, and confidence, and that the right haircut can allow people to showcase their individuality.
• The value people place on their head of hair is complex, and includes an interplay of cultural, psychological and personal factors. It is also deeply ingrained in both our societal norms and our individual identity. 
• Has their relationship with their hair changed at all, since coming out?
• Why do other people say to us, “your hair looks great, but I could never do that…”?
• “Stepping out of the male gaze”, and having long hair for our family members and the men in our life.
