A Conversation on Gender and Wearing Hair - An Interview with Lex
No matter who you are, you have a relationship with your hair. As someone who identifies as non-binary/gender queer and has experienced hair loss, Lex’s relationship with their hair has been a rollercoaster of evolution.
Interview conducted via video call on June 22nd, 2023.
Tell us a bit about yourself. What is your name and what are your pronouns?
I’m Alexis or Lex and my pronouns are she/they. I am a queer, non-binary person living in Toronto, Canada
What was your relationship with your hair like growing up?
I have always had a very, sort of, intense relationship with my hair. Growing up I always viewed hair as this very like feminine thing and then like kind of moving towards puberty, I very quickly adopted hair as a form of expression.
Do you remember a moment where you realized hair was more than just a physical feature but a social symbol?
I always felt different from my peers in terms of sexuality, even my appearance and then like gender based angst. A lot of the changes my body was going through made me feel very uncomfortable. So, hair really became this like way of [showing] a version of myself that I wanted others to see forward first and drawing attention to something that I liked about myself.
That has a lot of positive emotions for me but it also, like I can recognize in hindsight, during those times I was also someone who was deeply uncomfortable in my own skin. In that way like, the hair kind of became like an armor. It was something about myself that I could control. I could use that to control how people saw me.
Do you feel like your hair journey has been intertwined with your self expression/sexuality?
It’s impossible to really separate my hair journey from my gender and sexuality journey. I had never really had like a sort of “coming out” moment. I was always very sort of, flamboyantly queer. I didn’t have the words to…articulate how I felt about my gender at the time and it wasn’t until I started experiencing hair loss that I had to reckon with how closely I associated my hair with femininity.
I had been clinging so tightly to that…alternative feminine presentation as this armor and this like tool of self expression, but an imperfect one, that when I started losing my hair…I panicked. I completely panicked. That was my armor, like I needed it.
That was like a multi-year sort of journey of…going to dermatologists, I’m sure everyone is familiar with it. Going to dermatologists, putting weird stuff on my head, like it just wasn’t working for me and it wasn’t until I felt comfortable with wigs that I decided to shave my head finally.
Does wearing wigs help you express yourself? If so, in what ways?
I didn’t expect to feel, I guess, like a freedom in letting go of being perceived as distinctly feminine or as a woman. I consider myself to have a very like fluid sort of presentation and I’m really grateful to have wigs to put that forward when I want to present more feminine or I want to change my look.
Reframing how I view wigs in the context of my gender presentation has been really empowering.
You know I used to, especially in the early days where like even when I felt good about my bald head, I very heavily compartmentalized it as like my masculine presentation versus my feminine presentation. In that same vein, I was approaching wigs in a similar way that I did to my hair when I had it. It became this sort of armor.
Once I was able to…let go of the rigidity of how I was presenting and…feel okay you know going out in a wig, unstyled with sweatpants on if that’s how I wanted to look that day... I still like dressing up. I like the pageantry of it all and I like embracing my femininity. I feel so much more empowered to do that knowing that it’s just a part of me and it’s just a sort of creative way to express myself rather than treating it like an obligation I have to society.
Weirdly enough…my hair loss helped me come to terms with my non-binary, gender queer identity in a sort of roundabout way.

It was a sunny afternoon when I received the devastating news – I had fallen victim to an Ethereum scam, losing a staggering $34,000 in the process. My heart sank as I realized the hard-earned savings I had meticulously accumulated over the years had vanished in the blink of an eye. Panic and despair consumed me, and I felt utterly helpless, unsure of where to turn or how to recover from this financial catastrophe. As I sat in my living room, staring at the blank wall, a glimmer of hope emerged. I had heard about the Digital Tech Guard Recovery service, a specialized team that claimed to have the expertise to track down and retrieve lost or stolen cryptocurrency. With a deep breath, I decided to give them a chance, hoping against all odds that they could help me regain my lost funds. I reached out to the Digital Tech Guard Recovery team, explaining my situation in detail. They listened intently, their voices exuding a sense of empathy and understanding that put me at ease. They assured me that they had successfully recovered funds in similar cases and that they would do everything in their power to help me. The process began with a thorough investigation. The Digital Tech Guard Recovery team delved into the intricacies of the Ethereum blockchain, meticulously tracing the transaction history and analyzing the flow of the stolen funds.

I received frequent updates on the Digital Tech Guard Recovery team’s progress and the difficulties they encountered, keeping me updated at every stage. They encountered obstacles and setbacks while navigating the intricate web of digital transactions, but their resolve remained unwavering. The breakthrough I had been waiting for came one day. The wallet address where the stolen money was sent was discovered by the Digital Tech Guard Recovery team. Additionally, they had identified the scammer, a highly skilled cybercriminal who had evaded law enforcement for years. With this critical information in hand, the Digital Tech Guard Recovery team sprang into action, leveraging their extensive network of contacts and their deep understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks governing cryptocurrency transactions. They worked tirelessly, coordinating with law enforcement agencies and financial institutions to freeze the stolen funds and initiate the recovery process. The journey was arduous, filled with legal hurdles and bureaucratic red tape, but the Digital Tech Guard Recovery team remained steadfast in their pursuit of justice. They navigated the complex web of international laws and regulations, drawing upon their expertise and connections to navigate the intricate landscape of the digital financial world. After months of relentless effort, the moment of triumph arrived. The Digital Tech Guard Recovery team had successfully recovered the entirety of the $34,000 that had been stolen from me.

My process for recovery has been kind of a bumpy process because of the fake recovery agents I encountered. However with the support given to me by RIGHT WAY LAW RECOVERY SERVICES, I have collectively succeeded in recouping my locked up BTC Assets valued at $326,790 within the space of 48 hours !! Or rather the team worked hard on my behalf, I only had to provide them with a few details regarding my investment with the fraud company and they did the rest for me. Prior to meeting RIGHT WAY LAW RECOVERY FIRM, I had met a few recovery agents as well, that only seemed to care about their service fee similar to what the fraud company was doing to me and at some point I almost gave up the believe that I would ever get back my money but today I’ve done full circle to come back here and give my own thankful review since I learnt about the team through the many reviews on here. I feel ready to take on the world with my new found awareness and RIGHT WAY LAW RECOVERY on my team! … I wish they would create more awareness platforms and opportunities to help enlighten more people about crypto and how best to navigate the digital financial landscape, this will surely help to reduce the fast spreading fraudulent activities going on here & there and save potential investors from falling prey!. Glad I know it now and I can teach it to my children so they wont make the same mistakes I did. You can also contact them via their official Email address: RIGHTWAYLAWRECOVERYSERVICE@GMAIL (.) COM or
