Hair Dysphoria
New frontier of human suffering discovered and declared:
Has anyone else experienced Green Hair Dysphoria?
I’m working thru my own hair issues and conflicted about green dye or blue? Shave my head or no? What is my gender? I don’t even know! I need a safe space STAT. pic.twitter.com/1ldj2AhMFZ

And hey, what’s life without some fascinating complications:
“Does it feel dysphoric because it’s long, or does it feel better because it’s long?”
“A little bit of both. It kind of changes every day.”
Consider this an open thread.
By all means, share your hair-related agonies.
Update:
A reminder that, in the comments, other wonders are waiting to be found.
I have breakfast dysphoria. I made toast then I went off the idea.
I AM VERY COMPLICATED.
It’s so boring being normal where going to get your hair cut just means you tell your barber/stylist how much to take off without a lot of baggage.
I grew my hair fairly long a few years ago, but had it cut off. Sadly, it was not a traumatic experience. And I’ve been growing it out again.
Also… WTF is hair dysphoria?!
And then, of course, this:
Because finding an indulgent, gay hairdresser – one willing to, you know, cut hair – is a Herculean feat. An impossible task.
And of course it must be on video so the world can see your insecurities about getting your hair cut.
A bit of amusement.
I think the hairdresser is a trans-identifying female. It’s in the gravelly voice.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it…
All I could think of was if she was a witness on the stand that I had to have to give direct testimony – not cross-examination – it would be exhausting.
Your mistake was thinking of putting baked beans on it.
Finding a competent hairdresser? The struggle is real.

Otherwise people might stop paying attention.
“We are better than white people at everything, better than them at every single thing.”
Hair? That is a rookie problem, what about geology?
Sounds like cutting edge sciency science stuff.
OTOH, maybe not. Unfortunately I am disinclined to fork over 56 frogskins for the paper on how geology has been “strategically used in the memorialization of lynching victims” other than maybe using marble vs.granite to make a statue or something, so alas, I can’t educate myself to do better.
Sticker wars.
Those small signs of decline.
In other, happier news, let’s not forget bra euphoria.
At one time Wisconsin was a real state.
No, dear, you don’t have hair dysphoria, you have hair aposemitism. And we thank you for that.
Yet another piece of evidence for the argument that green and blue hair dies causes obesity and anxiety, it appears.
Hold that thought:
With bonus charts and statistics!
I’m not sure “happier” is the right word.
Not for the sales assistants, no.
Lynchings: while it is true that more blacks were lynched as a %, actual numbers were higher for whites lynched. The last major lynching was 8 italians in New Orleans (1960s?).
Better at everything: I have friends with very high performance jobs. One is one of the operations managers at a nuclear plant. You cannot just drop a random person into that role. This conceit that anyone can do white people jobs, that whites are just handed jobs because of whiteness is simply insane. The dumbing down of school is also dangerous for the same reason.
Yes. Of course. MNGA.
Is it now the thing to just grab any polysyllabic term & see if it can be shoe-horned into the latest bid for attention?
The flip side to Just Stop Oil is even worse.
oh, and dog pic.
Seem to have been caught in the login trap – the captcha keeps failing & WordPress is angry that I’ve logged in directly in the past.
The hairdresser strikes me as ‘trans’.
The Wakanda is strong with this one.

Michigan Nut Growers Association?
Foreshadowing?

Aside from the guy doing donuts, looks like an ordinary day on 1-75…
Ooh, just caught the orange update bubble.
I am not seeing the orange update bubble.
When are you encountering this problem, i.e., when doing what?
Setting up WordPress login:
It’s curious that WP does not require a password.
Am having trouble setting up 2-factor verification.
Cute how they avoid saying “Gulf of America”. Almost as cute as how all this fun has me discovering how many people don’t know the difference between ‘gulf’ and ‘golf’. I mean, I’m not much of a language guy but come on, people. Though give it a couple more weeks and they’ll have me twisted up as well.
Added: meant to also say that I haven’t had any WP login issues but the orange circle thing still isn’t happening. Not that I rely on that much. For some reason I can usually remember how many comments were here the last time I checked in. For the record, I’m using Chrome on an iPad. Sometimes on an iPhone.
When trying to login using the Login link just above the comment section. From the WordPress login page, I’ve tried the Log in with username and password which results in ERROR: captcha verification failed.
Heh. And no sooner do I say that and aelfheld’s post just goosed out the orange bubble. So…I’m good. Well kinda. As far as that goes anyway. Though I don’t see the bubble on my iPhone right now.
Same for me.
Try now. The Captcha should only apply to new registration requests, not comments.
I did & was successful. My thanks.
Me, too. Much thanks.
And now I have a WordPress account which I may never use. 😃
In the late 1990’s or so our local new radio station that I would listen to on my long drive into work was discussing how the schools were going to provide condoms to high school students through the school nurse offices. Someone produced a PTA or school board meeting recording from the late 60’s/early 70’s where they were discussing brining sex education into the schools. Someone at that meeting remarked that if that happens, what’s next? Passing out condoms? There was much commotion as everyone in the room mocked that person’s concern. Imagine how incredibly stupid it would have been to suggest that putting condom machines in elementary schools was next.
Our betters have thoughts.
I was getting a 504: gateway timeout error for awhile. And now I’m back.
They’ve been engaging in fetishes on gubmint time using gubmint servers.
Kill it with fire.
From orbit.

For those without an X account:
And so, hundreds of government employees at the National Security Agency have been using office hours to discuss – at great length – their elaborate surgical fetishes, their polyamorous entanglements, and the “euphoria” of peeing while pretending to be a woman.
To state the scale of the dysfunction might invite accusations of conspiracy theories.
And yet, here we are.
For those without an X account:
First, thanks for the link, and second, in the “Related” category, wasn’t there a post here awhile back about a British chain like Tesco’s or Waitrose or something that had an entire newsletter (and division?) devoted to the rainbow fetish brigade?
Ostensibly, and sensibly, one would think the point of Tesco’s is to sell merchandise to the public, and of the NSA, the security of the US, and in neither case should employee sexual fetishes, kink, or even preferences and behaviors have anything to do with accomplishing that goal.
Further related I just discovered that a smaller geophysical resource professional association I recently joined (not AGU – gave up on them after the crazy climate rot set in) has a scholarship set up for the usual racial/ethnic appearance acronyms, but also the BLTGQ++ one! What the actual f**k does someone’s sex life have anything to do with geology, hydrology, geophysics, and natural resource management??? I swear this is and the whole trans thing is for white people to be able to claim a spot at the victimhood trough.
