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.

Hello everyone, my name is Frank Lewis from Boston. I was among those who invested a good amount of money and time into crypto trading and ended up losing it all to a fake crypto scam. I was in huge debt and was going into depression until I came across a page pouring out praises about a Crypto recovery company FIRMWALL CYBER SECURITY COMPANY. At first, I was not fully convinced about their service but after losing more than a million dollars to a crypto scam, I decided to give it a try and see how it went, and to my biggest surprise, FIRMWALL CYBER SECURITY SERVICE was able to recover the crypto funds that was stolen from me. Truly, I’m still in shock about it because I thought I had lost it all. I’m very happy to know there is such a company out there to help scam victims recover their funds. I highly recommend their service to everyone out there who needs the same service.

The specter of fraud looms large, casting a shadow of doubt and despair over unsuspecting investors.

I found myself in a web of deception—a victim of heartless fraud perpetrated by a fraudulent cryptocurrency investment company. But amidst the darkness, a glimmer of hope emerged, a beacon of light in the form of Wizard Web Recovery, whose miraculous intervention transformed a tale of loss into a story of redemption and renewal. It all began on a fateful January day when I ventured into the realm of cryptocurrency investment at the behest of a trusted friend. Armed with optimism and ambition, I entrusted $210,000 to a seemingly reputable crypto investment company, only to see my dreams dashed by the cruel hand of deception. What started as a promising venture soon descended into a nightmare of epic proportions, as my attempts to withdraw my hard-earned funds were met with a wall of silence and suspicion. With each passing day, the truth became painfully clear—I had fallen victim to a sophisticated scam orchestrated by heartless fraudsters masquerading as legitimate investment professionals. Despite my best efforts to rectify the situation, including paying exorbitant “tax clarification” fees demanded by the company, my hopes dwindled as fast as my dwindling bank account. But just when all seemed lost, fate intervened in the form of a television program highlighting the exploits of WIZARD WEB RECOVERY— A licensed hacking firm renowned for its prowess in recovering lost funds for victims of cybercrime. Intrigued by their sterling reputation and glowing reviews, I resolved to enlist their aid in my hour of need.

To my astonishment, they responded swiftly, extending a lifeline of hope in the form of a sincere commitment to reclaim what was rightfully mine.

Within a mere eight hours, WIZARD WEB RECOVERY accomplished the impossible, restoring access to my lost investment funds and returning them to my wallet with a speed and efficiency that defied belief. As I beheld the restored bounty of my labors, tears of gratitude streamed down my cheeks, mingling with the joyous refrain of a heart made whole once more.

To WIZARD WEB RECOVERY, I extend my deepest gratitude for their unwavering dedication to justice.
