bearded women

A few weeks ago, performance artist Little Bear the Bearded Lady shared with the world that she no longer identifies as genderqueer, but as a cis woman. She has a beard and currently views it as part of her womanhood.

“I’m widening the bandwidth of how to be a woman,” Drummond says.

Many bearded women have experienced other forms of harassment, from street violence to being the butt-end of jokes, pointed to as freaks of nature as was done explicitly in the freak shows of the 19th and early 20th century that Annie Jones, pictured at the top of this blog post, was forced to perform in.

But some women and femmes find great value in not altering their facial hair to match others’ preferences.

“I would never ever go back now and remove my facial hair, because it’s the way God made me and I’m happy with the way I am,” Harnaam Kaur explains.

    What the? Hell? Anyways, Mormonism is a cult just like Wokism. How are you of the true religion when the Bible says nothing about your cult, when your title is narcissistic pretention “call us saints”, and what the hell “latter day”? Ridiculous. There are just Christians, they aren’t effing late for anything you oblivious new age cultists. Even “LDS” is stupid. And you act as a racist club by making SUITS the bar for dressing for males, get real, did Jesus and the disciples all homeless require suits you imbeciles? You should me called The Really Late in the Game Morons who insult the Jews and all Christians with they’re asking to be called saints and pretending their work is anything comparable to genuine saints who were sawn apart, stoned and ripped apart by lions You guys are actually murderers who are so disrespectful you besides stealing babies in the mountain meadows massacre and dressing up as natives would not even respect the Christians you murdered with a cross. You are as demonic as JWs and just as weird. Grow up and stop gas lighting everyone. It’s child abuse to put kids thru your narcissist cult. If you knew God you would know the Bible is full of codes, but you fools send out Mormons to cover for your ignorance who can hardly speak a single word of Greek let alone Hebrew yet call them elders? Arrogant. GET SAVED, yes, saved, past tense like Jesus kept saving over and over, FORGIVEN,NOT, BEING FORGIVEN. THE GOSPEL IS GOOD NEWS, NOT A GAMBLE THAT MAY END IN DISASTER. AND NO PART OF THE BIBLE SAYS SALVATION CAN BE EARNED, THE WHOLE POINT IS IT CANNOT, GOD’S LOVE IS A GIFT, YOU CANNOT BUY IT OR BUY HIS WRATH OFF, IF SO THEN JESUS SUFFERED, SHED HIS BLOOD DIED AND CAME FOR FOR NOTHING! THE GOSPEL ISN’T OBEY ME TO GET TO HEAVEN. IT IS BELIEVE ON ME AND YOU WILL BE FREE INDEED AND THAT GOD WILL NEVER LET THE RIGHTEOUS STAY DEAD, YET YOU PRETEND YOU CAN BECOME UNRIGHTEOUS/END UP DEAD AS IF YOUR OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS SAVES YOU, NO YOU BLOND GUIDES, JESUS’ GOOD WORKS SAVE! Here is how to be saved: eternian.wordpress.com/life
    Salvation is of the Jews, not racist whites in suits who don’t trust Jesus’ death was sufficient to cover all their sins. And I am Jewish, not you whites.
