I'm scarred for life

. . . thanks to these words from Regis Nicoll: "In a garage band of my own, I sported the longer hair and cross-cutting fashions of the epicene trend."

If you can get past that shattering mental image, Regis has some valuable things to say about our current state of gender confusion. While you're reading those, I'll be looking for the brain bleach.

Comments:

Kodachrome chromosomes, or, Xes and Whys
Brain bleach is totally ineffectual, Gina. I've been using gallons of it since 1972 (almost 4 decades now), and still can't completely remove the David Bowie / "Ziggy Stardust" video. Bowie in long hair, eye shadow and a mini-skirt - ick!

Those who went ballistic about long hair on men (wherefore art thou, labrialum?) rarely commented on the extremely short haircuts for women. Pants for women was still somewhat controversial, though.

The only improvement I think Regis might have made to his article would have been to ask what "identity" means, if it's something that can change all the time.

Didn't Anne go ballistic about supposedly gender-conflicted men going into women's restrooms, a year or so ago?
