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.

Through Telegram, I’ve finally had the opportunity to witness genuine professionalism with DuneNectarWebExpert. This experience has renewed my trust in people and strengthened my conviction in the significance of persistence and empathy. As a long-standing physician practicing in Atlanta, Georgia, I’ve treated numerous patients who have been victimized, their lives irreversibly altered by the damaging consequences of entrusting the wrong person with their private and financial details. One of my patients suggested that I seek help from DuneNectarWebExpert. From the instant I contacted ( Support (@) Dunenectarwebexpert (.) C0M ), I was met with comprehension, as they grasped the emotional distress caused by an online romance scam. Their professionalism, compassion, and commitment to rectifying the injustices suffered by scam victims, including myself and many others, were evident. Their team, comprised of cybersecurity professionals and digital investigation specialists, promptly evaluated the situation and developed a thorough plan to retrieve my lost funds. I would not be writing this epistle if I had not achieved the outcome I anticipated when I engaged DuneNectarWebExpert services. The process was challenging, as these fraudsters actively resisted efforts to recover my scammed crypto funds successfully. At the end of everything, it was all a success, and I am forever grateful to my patient and the team of DUNENECTARWEBEXPERT for their aid in my life and my family’s.

I never imagined I’d become a victim of a scam—especially in the fast-moving world of cryptocurrency. When I was offered a chance to appear on a popular crypto podcast, I was excited. It seemed like a golden opportunity to gain exposure, connect with industry professionals, and build credibility within the crypto community. The podcast appeared legitimate, complete with a sleek website, professional branding, glowing testimonials, and an active social media presence.
After a few exchanges with the supposed host, I was asked to pay $9,500 to secure my spot on the show. Trusting the apparent professionalism of the platform, I went ahead with the payment. I envisioned the new doors this would open—partnerships, recognition, and new opportunities. But everything changed once the payment was made.
Suddenly, all communication stopped. My emails and messages went unanswered. The podcast’s website vanished, and so did their social media presence. That’s when reality hit—I had been scammed.
I was devastated. Angry, embarrassed, and desperate to find a solution, I began searching for help. That’s when I discovered PRO WIZARD GILBERT RECOVERY. At first, I was skeptical, but with nothing left to lose, I decided to reach out.
To my surprise, their team responded quickly and took my case seriously. Using advanced investigative tools and digital tracking techniques, they began tracing the scammer’s digital footprint. I watched as they worked tirelessly, putting the pieces together.
Amazingly, PRO WIZARD GILBERT RECOVERY was able to recover 95% of my lost funds. The relief I felt was indescribable. Not only did I get back most of what I lost, but I also walked away with a hard-earned lesson about the importance of due diligence and caution in the digital world.
While I wish I had never fallen into the trap, I’m incredibly thankful for the support and professionalism of PRO WIZARD GILBERT RECOVERY. They didn’t just recover my money—they helped restore my peace of mind. I’m sharing my story in hopes that it helps others avoid the same mistake and encourages them to stay vigilant in the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrency.
God bless Capital Crypto Recover Services for the marvelous work you did in my life, I have learned the hard way that even the most sensible investors can fall victim to scams. When my USD was stolen, for anyone who has fallen victim to one of the bitcoin binary investment scams that are currently ongoing, I felt betrayal and upset. But then I was reading a post on site when I saw a testimony of Wendy Taylor online who recommended that Capital Crypto Recovery has helped her recover scammed funds within 24 hours. after reaching out to this cyber security firm that was able to help me recover my stolen digital assets and bitcoin. I’m genuinely blown away by their amazing service and professionalism. I never imagined I’d be able to get my money back until I complained to Capital Crypto Recovery Services about my difficulties and gave all of the necessary paperwork. I was astounded that it took them 12 hours to reclaim my stolen money back. Without a doubt, my USDT assets were successfully recovered from the scam platform, Thank you so much Sir, I strongly recommend Capital Crypto Recover for any of your bitcoin recovery, digital funds recovery, hacking, and cybersecurity concerns.

As an accountant, I’ve always been cautious with my finances. But last year, driven by the fear of missing out on the booming cryptocurrency market, I gave in. An Instagram ad for CBEX Trading caught my attention—it had a sleek website, live charts, and glowing testimonials. A representative named Elena guided me through the setup, even offering a $200 welcome bonus. Everything seemed legitimate, so I invested $97,300 worth of Bitcoin.
Then, out of nowhere, the CBEX website crashed. All contact with their team disappeared. That’s when the reality hit me—I had been scammed. I was devastated and didn’t know where to turn.
In my search for help, I came across Apex Intervention, a trusted crypto recovery service. Their strong reputation and proven track record gave me hope. The team at Apex worked tirelessly to trace my stolen funds—and they did it. They successfully recovered my Bitcoin from the CBEX scam.
I’m beyond grateful for their dedication and expertise. If you’ve been scammed by CBEX, PCEX, or a similar platform, I highly recommend Apex Intervention LTD.

I’m a 37-year-old marketing consultant from Berlin, and in 2024, I invested 4.8 BTC (about €300,600) into what I believed was a legitimate opportunity through HyperVerse. It looked promising at first, daily returns, active communication but within months, the platform collapsed. My Bitcoin was gone, and I realized too late it was a Ponzi scheme.
Refusing to accept the loss, I contacted Morphohack Cyber Service. Their team of crypto recovery experts carefully analyzed my case, tracked the stolen funds using blockchain forensics, and communicated with me every step of the way. After a month, they recovered 3.9 BTC, around €366,200 (at the time of recovery) into a secure wallet.
While I didn’t recover everything, I got back more than I expected. If you’ve been scammed in crypto, I highly recommend Morphohack. Their professionalism and results gave me a second chance.

It’s been 9 years since i have been working here in the United State as a Nurse, I always like using Instagram to while away time for myself and I came in contact with a guy called Qin on Instagram he’s Asian american, the guy was really awesome and he told me he was into broker trading that I could invest little with $5,000 and within a year i will have enough to buy myself a home and a hospital, so i decided to invest but after 8 months I tried to withdraw and i was asked for more and all this while he encouraged me to keep investing and i had already invested 206k USD with him on his broker platform and we started dating so that really makes me confident in him but it was too late to know I have been scammed after he successfully reap me and put me in a debt of $459k. The night I was to end it all I came across an article online about jamesmckaywizard on how him and his team have been helping people like myself who have been a victim of scam or online blackmail, i didn’t hesitate but took my time to ask about him from those people testifying about him. After which I contacted them firstly, they talked to me and i was calm and he asked me about all the transaction details which i gave them’ in less than 48hrs my hope to life was fully restored back i got all the money and interest which i invested and also Mr. Qin was traced and arrested. I strongly recommend them to anyone in need, this is the right platform for you, you can reach out to them on // jamesmckaywizard at gmail dot com or WhatsApp +31657446248.
Blessed day to anyone reading this article, I really want to gives thanks to Mr James & his team for his expertise in cryptocurrency recovery prowess. At first I had my doubts about him because not everything online is real these days due to several scamms. But Mr James assured me that I would get my money back within few hours I mean all the money that had been taken from me through fraudulent bitcoin investments and money that was stolen from my wallets, I had lost all hope and trust that i’ll ever get my money back, I was at the lowest point of my life, i was almost rendered homeless, but just like magic i came across an article on facebook on how Mr James had once showed his skills and helped them recover back their money lost through online scams and fake love romance scam. In which i also had to give trust a try low and behold my insticnt didn’t fail me. he made sure i got back all the money after giving him all the details on how i made transactions and also all the wallet details i used and he did a great Job and put smiles on my face and made me bounce back to my life, i can still recall all the pains and heart break i expireced i almost killed my self but mr james did a miracle in my life. So i sincerely want to appreciate this Genius Hacker (jamesmckaywizard) for his help and assistance and professionalism in making sure I got my money back. feel free to reach out to him and trust him aswell for the job Email: jamesmckaywizard at gmail dot com or WhatsApp +31657446248..
When I lost my money to online scammers through crypto investment, I never thought I could ever retrieve back my money again but I decided to give it a try after my Inlaw introduced me to this incredible honest hacker that she had worked with to retrieve back her bitcoin when she mistakenly sent it to a wrong wallet address when trying to make payment to someone, so when I brought up the issue of me loosing money to an online investment in a dinner at my place she was curious to hear how it happened and it turned out she still had the hackers contact which she provided me with later on, I reached out to them the next morning and provided the transaction hash, wallet address of the scammers and the website, I was surprised after receiving the first half of my money within just 48 hours and the rest is being traced back to the second wallet address I made payment to, Jamesmckaywizard and his team brought back my hope of living back to life because I never thought of what I could have done if I wasn’t able to recover this money back, this includes my retirement funds, I’m so grateful to the team for their effort and good service, if you’re encountering same issue kindly reach out to them on the provided details bellow:
