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 Lost $213,000 Worth of ARB Tokens After Falling victim to an Address-Poisoning Scam
My name is Patrick Cox, and my ARB tokens worth $213,000 were wiped out in a single transaction by an Address-Poisoning Scam, and this is how I was able to recover it.
I have been into crypto for over 9 years and I have never been reckless or naive when it deals with crypto, however, I was caught off guard by an address-poisoning scam while I was trying to make a single transaction to my other wallet and it took the services of Morphohack Cyber Service to be able to recover it successfully.
Morphohack was able to detect the scammer had distributed the stolen ARB tokens into smaller wallets, but it took Morphohack just 72 hours to fully recover every single one of the stolen tokens successfully. This just shows the rise of address spoofing and poisoning that has continued to exploit traders’ negligence during transactions. I highly urge everyone to be more cautious and avoid falling victim to such scams and if you do need the service of Morphohack, you can easily reach them via the following:E-mail: MORPHOHACK@CYBERSERVICES.COM WhatsApp: +1 (213) 672 4092
Recovering lost Bitcoin can require unique hacking skills and expertise that are possessed by only a handful of professional hackers. While there are many recovery websites out there, it’s important to be cautious as 99% of them are operated by scammers who try to appear legitimate. Instead, it’s best to seek out a trusted hacker like RecoveryHacker101 who can help you recover your funds. They were able to recover $126k worth of BTC that I had lost to bitcoin mining. To get in touch with John, you can email him at recoveryhacker101[at]gmail[dot]com
Individuals should exercise extreme caution in the investment landscape, as numerous fraudulent investment companies and deceptive recovery firms operate globally. The difficulty in withdrawing funds from trading accounts, or the experience of complete financial loss, is unfortunately a common occurrence. These situations often involve sophisticated schemes designed to exploit unsuspecting investors. For example, Ponzi schemes promise exceptionally high returns with minimal risk, attracting investors who subsequently lose their principal investments when the scheme collapses. Another common tactic involves fraudulent brokers who manipulate trading platforms or provide false information to induce losses. Furthermore, many victims fall prey to scam recovery firms that promise to retrieve stolen funds but instead demand upfront fees without delivering on their promises. These firms often operate anonymously and lack any legitimate regulatory oversight. MARS TECH RECOVERY GURUs offers guidance and assistance to individuals who have experienced such financial losses. Our services encompass a comprehensive assessment of the situation, identification of the perpetrators, and the pursuit of legal avenues for fund recovery. This process may involve collaborating with law enforcement agencies, regulatory bodies, and legal professionals to build a robust case for restitution. It is crucial to remember that recovering stolen funds requires patience, diligence, and a thorough understanding of the legal processes involved. While MARS TECH RECOVERY GURUs strives to provide effective solutions, the success of any recovery effort is dependent on various factors, including the nature of the fraud, the availability of evidence, and the cooperation of relevant authorities. Therefore, prospective clients should approach the process with realistic expectations and a commitment to full transparency and cooperation.

ARE YOU A VICTIM OF INVESTMENT OR BITCOIN SCAM? Visit FOLKWIN EXPERT RECOVERY FOR HELP.
Living in Vancouver, I was once a victim of a devastating crypto scam that nearly destroyed my financial life. I had invested SGD 29,000 into a platform that promised high returns. It seemed like a great opportunity at first, but I soon realized it was a fraud. The scammers convinced me that I needed to pay a withdrawal fee to access my funds. Desperate to recover my money, I complied and sent the payment. However, once I paid the withdrawal fee, everything changed. The scammer blocked me completely, and I couldn’t reach them. My funds were gone, and I was left with nothing. The loss of such a large sum was incredibly traumatic, especially since it caused a significant breakdown in my relationship with my husband. The financial strain was overwhelming, and I didn’t know where to turn. For months, I searched desperately for help, hoping to recover my lost money. I reached out to several recovery services, but most of them seemed to offer little more than empty promises. Just when I was starting to lose hope, I found Folkwin Expert Recovery. Their team stood out from the rest professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to helping me. Folkwin Expert Recovery took the time to understand my situation. They carefully listened to the details of the scam and immediately began working on a recovery plan. Although the process wasn’t easy, their expertise and persistence paid off. After some time, they successfully tracked down the scammer and recovered the full SGD 29,000 that I had lost. The relief I felt was indescribable, and it felt like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I can’t express enough how grateful I am to Folkwin Expert Recovery for their hard work. They went above and beyond to ensure I got my money back, and their efforts not only restored my finances but also my peace of mind.

Before you place any investment with a broker, ensure that you do your proper research so you don’t end up sending scammers your hard-earned money. I suffered from this after I sent a scammer I perceived to be a legitimate broker, but it later turned out he was a scammer. But I am happy I got introduced to recoveryhacker101, because indeed I wouldn’t have gotten my funds if not for their expert services in tracing stolen crypto funds. I eventually got my money back and, trust me, I am not investing anymore. I can remember the sudden pain I got after I realized the broker was a scammer. That’s why I have taken my time to post this comment here to anyone in need of a crypto recovery expert can simply reach me at (recoveryhacker101@gmailcom). I vouch for their services 100%.

Running the small business was hard enough in itself without having to suffer such stress as loss of access to a Bitcoin wallet. I had put $200,000 into Bitcoin for my business in case of emergencies, but one day, the wallet was nowhere to be seen. I had trusted it to my friend while he managed my finances, little knowing he would prove less than trustworthy. I couldn’t envision the gut-wrenching feeling coupled with a great feeling of folly for having placed so much trust in someone else’s hands. I could not believe my eyes to see that all of my digital fortune was gone. Literally, every second of my busy day froze in disbelief as I tried to conceive the loss. I remembered the hours I had put into building my business, securing my investments, and planning for the future. Now, I was staring at an empty wallet that once held my safety net. This hit me hard-not only had I lost $200,000, but the betrayal hurt further because it came from someone I considered reliable. The emotional toll was huge, and this financial hit could cripple my business. In the midst of my despair, I knew I had to act fast. I went online, searching everywhere for a solution through which I could get back in control of my finances. That is where I came across PYRAMID HACK SOLUTION. I knew them for recovery related to lost crypto, but also somehow skeptical. At that point, it looked like I had nothing left to lose. I reached out, and with our very first conversation, I gained the impression that they did understand my situation. Their team was nothing short of extraordinary. They approached my case with professionalism and empathy, meticulously explaining the recovery process in clear, simple terms that alleviated some of my anxiety. They set realistic expectations while promising to do everything possible to retrieve my funds. Over the next several weeks, they worked tirelessly, employing advanced blockchain forensic techniques and sophisticated tracking tools that I’d never even heard of before. It kept me informed with constant updates and gave me hope in this desperate time. Finally, it came the day PYRAMID HACK SOLUTION recovered my lost Bitcoin. Relief overwhelmed me, and it wasn’t all about the money but control and self trust in my financial future. WhatsApp; +447414280914 Website; https://pyramidhacksolution.com This experience taught me the most valuable lesson: never lose control over your own financial security and never put blind trust in anyone. With PYRAMID HACK SOLUTION, I recovered not only my $200,000 but also learned how to protect my assets better in the future.
