I’ve had a few male friends approach me about my baldness and how I manage to live with it. Usually they’re noticing that they’re thinning or their hairline is receding, and they’re genuinely scared about what life will be like.
I could take it offensively, but I started balding so early and I’m so used to it that I’m totally over it and I welcome the questions about their fate.
It’s a little striking in some cases because people ask as though it must be misery. Like, I’m some kind of misfortune half-person, haha.
It’s crazy to imagine asking people about other genetic traits in a similar way, but again, I’m happy to let them know they too will survive baldness.
