@dr.shawna: The color of someone’s hair doesn’t tell you anything about them. And these phrases focused on attributes like blue hair and septum rings are really building on tropes that are used to try to further marginalize people for self-expression. Scholars from queer theory and disability studies provide us with how to understand these “jokes” and the real potential they have to be harmful. For more on that, let’s go to the research! #TikTokLearningCampaign #LearnOnTikTok #socialscience

I feel like dying our hair as disabled people is one of the few things we actually have control in 😭 I used to dye my hair all the time before I just got too tired to keep up so now i’m just kinda rockin the roots 😭😭😭

modifying my appearance is one of the only things I can control. my disabled body is unpredictable and can make me feel like my life is out of control. I have a masters degree and 2 professional jobs in the education/human services field.

I dyed my hair purple just before I had to go get a heart procedure. I was scared, and having bright hair somehow made me feel a little braver. When you have a condition where so much of your body is outside of your own control, is it so strange that you’d hold tightly onto the things that can still be your own decision?
