They don't necessarily want it linked with progressiveness & normalised in fashion coz they might be conservative & not an accessory.

This is leading some to take it off as it has lost the meaning it had to them. This is very interesting. And positive, I think.
-
The attempt to include hijabis in fashionable identity-based progressivism annoys those who aren't fashionable identity-based progressives.
-
'You are modern, progressive women interested in fashion too!' 'No, we're not. Sod off.'
-
Which does really underscore the element of identity & virtue signalling often in hijab. After all, God will still know what it means to you
-
Its also very important that other ppl know what it means, tho, & if its progressiveness & fashion, some will be dischuffed & remove it.
-
Obv, I think anything which undermines gender-specific ideas of modesty is a positive step so am now conflicted on normalising it.
-
Never thought that saying to random Hijabis "love your hijab, very edgy" might be a way to bring about its demise. Brilliant.
