If you want to wear a wig because it makes you feel better about yourself, I'd say: Go for it!

If you don't want to wear a wig because it makes you feel better about yourself, I'd say: Go for it!

SAME DIFFERENCE! And the same goes for pretty much everything that is not there naturally.

You do what is right for you and let others decide for themselves.

You think Bruce is a science project, I think Bruce stopped existing once Caitlyn came out of her shell.

And I think I might throw up from the ignorance displayed on this page.

And here I was, thinking that ppl who went through enough bullshit might be a bit more accepting of others who are different in their own way...

Guess I was wrong.

Hello Bridgid

 

I agree with Debbie Fuller on being in a photo shoot in Hollywood usually comes out pretty amazing plus having Annie Liebovitz doing the photography for the cover most likely made this a win win visually. 

 

I am not on facebook or instagram but I would love to see how your pictures come out.  Will you post any on AW?  I hope they come out perfect and exactly what you want.

 

Peace

If women don't choose to go out bald in public, this is not necessarily due to lack of courage. They may just prefer it that way. Just as I choose what else I do or do not wear in public, I enjoy wearing my hear when I go out. Please allow everyone decide for themselves what they want to do or wear, in public or in private, instead of labeling them.

I agree Lealie, going bald in public is something I felt I needed to do. Most days I go out into the world wearing a wig or a turban. For me alopecia has been hard enough and I think we need to support and encourage one another and accept that we all respond and handle this condition that we all have in common in different ways. I did post my bald photos on Fb and got an overwhelming positive response. When I get home today to my pc I will share them on AW. Peace and love to you all

Tired of ppl. bashing this person. Live and let live. She's not harming me in anyway. If anything, she's courageous which is something I'm going to therapy for!!!!

This is not a site to discuss about gender changes or sexual behavior of people.  There will be different opinions ABOUT EVERYTHING.  We are here is to discuss how the lack of hair makes some of us suffer and some of us not.  I'm deeply religious and I have gay friends and I love them, I don't care what they do with their personal life and I teach my daughter the differences because in the future, I'll have to accept her no matter which direction she takes. Now, all the propaganda that the media has been doing on Bruce Jenner is ridiculous, her hair is gorgeous though, :), but the world has a little bit more important stuff to discuss than a man that wants to have a woman body but will still like woman, so now he's a lesbian??? 

Oh, and I have alopecia since I was 19 and it's been a heck of a ride. No one understands it until they will have it, and since it doesn't affect the entire population, not much people understands it or cares about it.

I agree with you in most points and kudos for being open-minded and teaching your daughter these values. I do the same for my son.

I'd just like to point out one thing, before I'll shut up. :-)

If you'd replace the word "alopecia" in your second last sentence with "felt like I'm trapped in the wrong body", you have the exact same thing Caitlyn might feel about her situation. She had the chance and courage to finally do something about it, so referring to her as "he" would be pretty much the same as ppl calling Alopecians names like baldy or maybe even shaming them, by blaming them for their hairloss (been there, done that). It hurts the person in question. Period.

Of course this world has bigger problems than both, Alopecia AND being transgender, but if our community had a celeb speak out for us and stand up and show the world how beautiful bald people are, we'd probably cheer them on as well, wouldn't we? ;-)

Now peace and love to all of you, because all of you deserve it!

It's funny, I always feel like I can relate to people of the LGBT community because for much of my life, I tried to hide the fact that had alopecia as tightly as someone might try to hide their sexuality or true gender identity before coming out.  

Luckily having alopecia doesn't cause me to face political discrimination!  But I definitely have a strong sense of the social pressures that any individual difference causes one to face.  I can definitely relate to how Bridgid feels.  

You're going to look so beautiful in those photos! :)

Loved and accepted, for who we are? Good luck. Other than my own parents and or sisters relatives and decades long gone close childhood friends, I have never experienced that and I am over 50. I think we live in the most superficial society, esp with the creation of the gastly impersonability and judgemental quality of digital/social, here today gone tomorrow, media.

Epistemology, the study of origins of things? History does not change, only its perception and viewpoints as the years go by. But trends morals & norms do. As for some people, I'm not so sure.
