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

Where is the line, anyway? If you put red food colouring in a cake, is it not pink? Is dye not real? Are all my clothes really calico coloured?? WHAT IS THE TRUTH

It's an actual philosophy thing to ask about what my "natural" hair color is if I "naturally" go completely bald I mean then I don't have a natural color anymore right Is the definition of "natural" now what the color would be if you *artificially* cured my baldness

Anyway the arguments about what is natural are stupid and bad and should be stamped out whenever you notice them They are always the foot in the door for regressive conservative horseshit
