I feel so disappointed, she’s so influential. I really struggle when people I like and respect put forward these bizarre ideas.

That's outright bonkers

(Recently I've been adding an obnoxiously bright red because I don't have to go into an office at the moment so why not?)

What if you've had your hair multiple colors? I worked my way through a good bit of the Manic Panic range at one point. Am I colorfluid?

You just have to laugh while shaking your head at these people.

I think one of the most crushing aspects of all of this is seeing celebrities you used to like exposing what complete ninnies they are.

I could respect Mara if she had a different, but still factually sound opinion to me. What I can't respect is this sort of nonsense. Glasses and hair dye don't rewrite your biology. What next? Wheelchairs change your DNA? And all of it presented like some huge gotcha Confused

I suppose now we know what it would look like if Matilda had been the daughter her parents always wanted . . .

Perhaps “Just for Men” could help us all break the glass ceiling.

That's funny because I dyed my son's hair blue over lockdown and now he's a girl.
Oh, wait. No he isn't, he just has blue hair that's partly washed out.
I only wish glasses changed my biology. If they did I might not need them any more.

Honestly that was one of the funniest threads to date. Someone thinking that because bleach penetrated the hair shaft, another pointing to the fact that colour change to a flowers petals if placed in dyed water, meant that humans could change sex, because BIOLOGY.

TheShoesa · 30/06/2020 13:39

But what about the roots?

wonderstuff · 30/06/2020 13:35

And that's part of the problem, she believes that is true. Another on that thread saying that wearing glasses changes biology.

I can’t even think of a response Confused
