Coming Out Late

Ep. #140: Reclaiming Our Individuality, Reclaiming Ourselves w/Our Hair, Part 2


Listen Later

In this Part 2 episode Robin picks up where last week's cliffhanger left off, finding out what Daine decided to do with their hair. You’ll also hear how the other folx relate to their own head of hair, recalling past experiences as well as current day reflections.

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

  • “...Cutting my hair shorter and shorter was a reclaiming of myself; a claiming of myself.”
  • 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.
  • Going to a salon versus a barber: what’s the difference?
  • “I wanna go by she/they, but a lot of people in my life don’t understand, because I look feminine. My hair has always been long; I love my hair long, and I don’t want to cut it, BUT, I wish my hair looked more like I feel on the inside.”
  • So many of us received negative feedback from the males in our lives when we wanted to cut our hair shorter; so we grew to love our hair long.
  • Feeling dysphoria about our hair from a gender aspect, AND an aging aspect. “I don’t want to dye my hair anymore - I want it to go grey!”
