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.

I’m Dolores, a retired real estate developer from Essen, and now I dedicate my time to running a charity organization that supports underprivileged communities around the world. Back in 2017, I started investing in Bitcoin with the hope that it would grow into a financial resource to help expand our charity’s outreach. By 2024, my Bitcoin holdings had reached nearly $900,000—a life-changing amount that I had earmarked for future projects to uplift the lives of those in need.
However, disaster struck during a trip to Europe. My phone, which stored all the crucial access to my Bitcoin wallet, was stolen. Panic set in when I realized that I couldn’t access my funds without it. I had taken security measures but hadn’t properly backed up my recovery codes. Despite trying every method I could think of, all attempts to recover my wallet failed, and the fear of losing all those funds set in. It wasn’t just my personal savings—it was the future of our charitable initiatives at risk.
After weeks of stress and failed attempts, I felt like I was out of options. That’s when a fellow investor recommended DIGITAL RESOLUTION SERVICES. At first, I was skeptical. Could anyone really help recover such a substantial amount of Bitcoin without access to my original device? But with so much at stake, I decided to trust them and reached out.
From the very first interaction, their team was professional and compassionate. They understood the gravity of the situation and walked me through every step of their recovery process. I appreciated how transparent and reassuring they were, making sure I was comfortable with their approach. To my astonishment, within just a few weeks, DIGITAL RESOLUTION SERVICES successfully regained access to my wallet, and all $900,000 was back in my hands.
Words can’t describe the relief and gratitude I felt—not just for myself, but for the countless lives our charity could now continue to impact. DIGITAL RESOLUTION SERVICES didn’t just recover my Bitcoin, they restored hope for the future of our mission.
If you’ve lost access to your Bitcoin, don’t give up. DIGITAL RESOLUTION SERVICES is nothing short of miraculous. Their expertise, professionalism, and dedication are unmatched. They saved me from what could have been a financial disaster, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone facing similar challenges. They are lifesavers. CONTACT!

This is so amazing and real; at first, I thought it was a scam because I was duped by a number of people who said they could help me invest my money in bitcoin trading, which is how I lost $89,000 seven days ago. However, with the assistance of a legitimate hacker at Redeemed Hacker Pro, A hacking and stolen digital assets/BTC recovery agency, I was able to withdraw $200,000 from an ATM without leaving any trace, which is more than the money I lost seven days ago. I will continue to tell people about Redeemed Hacker Pro if you are in need of a legitimate hacker or have any financial difficulties in order to pay off debts and begin a new life. reach out to team Redeemed Hacker Pro now by visiting their Email & website at: redeemed.h.p@hackermail.com or redeemedhackerpro.wixsite.com/redeem-hacker-pro
In Singapore’s dynamic and fast-paced environment, the allure of the tech startup scene can be irresistible. My journey into the world of cryptocurrency began when a close friend from a burgeoning startup encouraged me to invest in a Stellar. Initially hesitant, I decided to take the plunge with 5,000 SGD, lured by the potential for high returns. Over time, that initial investment flourished, ballooning to an impressive 120,000 SGD. The thrill of witnessing my investment grow was exhilarating, and I felt a sense of pride in my decision to enter the crypto market. However, the euphoria was short-lived. Following a fallout with my friend over a project, I faced an unexpected crisis. She took the drastic step of locking me out of my email account, which not only cut off my communication but also jeopardized my access to essential financial resources. The situation was dire; my investments were tied to that email, and without access, I feared losing everything I had worked so hard to achieve. Desperate to regain control, I reached out to friends within the tech community. Their support was invaluable, and they quickly recommended a specialized service: Malice Cyber Recovery. Known for their expertise in digital recovery, I decided to contact them immediately. The team at Malice Cyber Recovery was highly professional and understanding of my predicament. They guided me through the recovery process step by step, reassuring me that they had the tools and skills to help. Working with Malice Cyber Recovery was a revelation. Their thorough approach and technical knowledge provided me with the confidence I needed during a time of uncertainty. Within a matter of days, they successfully restored my access to my email account. The moment I regained control felt like a weight lifted off my shoulders. I was finally able to secure my investments and put safeguards in place to prevent any future incidents. Reflecting on this experience, I realized the importance of having a solid network and the value of expertise in crisis situations. While my initial foray into cryptocurrency had been thrilling, the fallout reminded me of the vulnerabilities that come with digital investments. In the end, I learned the significance of safeguarding my assets and the importance of resilience in navigating the unpredictable landscape of technology and finance. My investment journey was not just about financial gain but also about the relationships and support systems that emerged along the way. if you find yourself in a similar situation you should contact them VIA
