This was going to be part of a bad stand up comedy routine I am never going to do. Bald is the last label and category that hasn't had its time to shine. Even actors who have hair take media roles that bald men traditionally have. Like Patrick Stewart being replaced by a dude that has to shave his head to be Professor X. And there is a ton of subtle bald hate in society even to the point of influencing career advance…

I don't think anyone's arguing that it's the worst injustice anyone faces but it is surprisingly often used as a visual shorthand for people lacking humanity, which is pretty nasty.
Up next: Social Justice for the Short Man, for those with a 'country' accent, for the glasses wearers (in the off-seasons for nerdiness), the straight-up unattractive. They are all real, the question we must contend with is: Are all externally imposed, negatively perceived features, protected from measurement/discrimination? What about age? Can you discriminate towards youthfulness if you will, in your time, become o…
Then we have social justice for fat people, dumb people, lazy people, people with anger problems, people with personality disorders, criminals, and so on. Where do we draw the line? I argue we don't draw the line at all. Rather, we treat everyone with compassion and respect, and find / judge everyone on their true strengths and weaknesses (vs. those characteristic of whatever group they belong to). Discrimination is…
That said, my favorite T-shirt ever on the subject was spotted on Fire Island:
It's not a bald spot, it's a solar panel for a sex machine.

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.
