I hate to entertain this philosophical bullshit but look if you bleach brown hair blonde it literally scientifically is blonde That's the color it "scientifically" is You can tell by looking at it Either with the naked eye or with instruments, the color is the same

What you mean is that *new* hair grows that is a different color from the color of the hair that's there now That doesn't contradict anything I said

Nonsense. The cells in your body are replaced every few years, but the underlying biology which determines the new cells can't be rewritten. You can take hormones, but you can't rewrite DNA or swap chromosomes.

The metaphor works. You can dye your hair, and achieve a simulcra of, for e.g, blonde hair. This can appear to others to be more or less convincing, depending. If you leave it, the natural colour grows back. The biology which produces the brown is unchanged.

It’s irrelevant anyway. You are dealing with a windbag who doesn’t really understand metaphors and who will spend the rest of his life googling hair colour in the belief that if your hair colour can change so can your sex.

I was just enjoying the fact that the stupidity on display defending the idea that there is no difference between dyed hair and natural was exactly tracking the stupidity on display elsewhere

No one said there is no difference between dyed hair and undyed hair, it's just not important

Yeah, the color is the color that it is There's a difference between my black hair and dyed black hair that can be determined by analyzing them in a lab They are both, nonetheless, by both the scientific and lay understanding of the term, black

And some TW 'pass'. Hair can be unconvincingly dyed, and some TW do not pass. It would also be rude to point this out in many contexts, but it remains true. In some contexts, the difference will matter.

Nobody who dyes their hair blue seriously intends anyone to believe the hair came out of the follicles blue thanks to the coding of their DNA It's still, as a matter of physical fact (not any kind of optical illusion), actually blue
