If it makes someone feel better about themselves, why not?
- __turbobrew__ 4mo agoThe question is why do people feel bad about themselves? Everyone gets old, it is part of life. Why can we not accept that?
- gacgacgac 4mo agoIt's not necessarily feeling bad. It might be something makes one feel better. I'm not unhappy with how I look. I'm happier after a haircut and a hot shave. Sometimes we make choices because they take us from "whatever" to "this rules".

And dealing with a bunch of people who are mean to you for no real reason is harder psychologically to deal with than dealing with a bunch of people who are nice to you for no reason. Ask any person who was overweight and lost weight whether they noticed strangers being nicer to them after their weight loss.
- toasty228 4mo ago> Everyone gets old, it is part of life This forum believe the silicon valley delusional tech executives saying we'll soon extend lifespan to 150+ years thanks to "ai", it's a transhumanist echo chamber, a hair transplant is nothing, they'd sell their parents for a neuralink chip
- gacgacgac 4mo agoRight? Everyone should have access to gender affirming care. Obviously, we should also try to socially change to remove the negative pressures that contribute to dysphoria. If it makes someone feel happier to not be bald, great. It should come from making them happy, not them having to avoid social stigma though.
