Maybe she should say “I don’t want to talk about it” or “it’s difficult for me to talk about it at this time in my life” something to this manner so that they keep a respectful distance around the topic and she doesn’t have to answer any questions. At the same time I was thinking maybe some excuse from you like “that was MY wig for Halloween, just kept it there”, or “my sister and I play dress up sometimes”, idk sth like that could have worked or might work now if they’re not certain it’s Lola’s?
All she has to say is “I don’t want to talk about it”. Or she has a hard time growing out her hair. I was born as and identify as female and I can’t grow my hair out well passed my shoulders, maybe I’ll try a wig!
it’s funny how we totally accept extensions, but not wigs, except with black hair.
“they’re easier and more cost effective than extensions” “my hair doesn’t like being long, so this is easier and less damaging than extensions”
By the way? I want to tell you – what you’re doing for Lola in the way of the fort and friendship braclets etc. You’re an amazing person. I lost my childhood to my mother’s meth addiction. That would be incredibly healing and fun to do….I cannot imagine anyone I know doing what you’re doing for me. Lola is lucky. Thanks for being a good person.
My wife recently shaved her head because she was tired of having damaged hair from all the times she would bleach/redye it. She now owns two wigs and its not a big deal. She doesn’t have to out herself over something like a wig. Cis, trans, anyone can wear a wig if they want to. I’m sorry shes going through this, and I hope you’ll be more conscious in the future. It was a slip and it sometimes happens. Just keep being a good friend.
