Вот, что девушка всем ответила: "Hey, guys. This is Balpreet Kaur, the girl from the picture. I actually didn't know about this until one of my friends told on facebook. If the OP wanted a picture, they could have just asked and I could have smiled :) However, I'm not embarrased or even humiliated by the attention [negative and positve] that this picture is getting because, it's who I am. Yes, I'm a baptized Sikh woman with facial hair. Yes, I realize that my gender is often confused and I look different than most women. However, baptized Sikhs believe in the sacredness of this body - it is a gift that has been given to us by the Divine Being [which is genderless, actually] and, must keep it intact as a submission to the divine will. Just as a child doesn't reject the gift of his/her parents, Sikhs do not reject the body that has been given to us. By crying 'mine, mine' and changing this body-tool, we are essentially living in ego and creating a seperateness between ourselves and the divinity within us. By transcending societal views of beauty, I believe that I can focus more on my actions. My attitude and thoughts and actions have more value in them than my body because I recognize that this body is just going to become ash in the end, so why fuss about it? When I die, no one is going to remember what I looked like, heck, my kids will forget my voice, and slowly, all physical memory will fade away. However, my impact and legacy will remain: and, by not focusing on the physical beauty, I have time to cultivate those inner virtues and hopefully, focus my life on creating change and progress for this world in any way I can. So, to me, my face isn't important but the smile and the happiness that lie behind the face are. :-) So, if anyone sees me at OSU, please come up and say hello. I appreciate all of the comments here, both positive and less positive because I've gotten a better understanding of myself and others from this. Also, the yoga pants are quite comfortable and the Better Together tshirt is actually from Interfaith Youth Core, an organization that focuses on storytelling and engagement between different faiths. :) I hope this explains everything a bit more, and I apologize for causing such confusion and uttering anything that hurt anyone."

мне просто статью сейчас смотреть некогда.
Вроде у женщин бороды не растут.
Ужас какой.

я много таких в ЛА вижу, с бородами, все хочу у них спросить они гормоны для этого пьют, или уже в генах так

Привет, всем входящим, исходящим, мимо проходящим и косо смотрящим....

первая мысль, что это гормоны.

Иногда повышенная волосатость бывает от избытка мужских гормонов и при поликистозе яичников. Не знаю в чем проблема тут, но суть в том, что их религия (очень мирная кстати и выступающая против дискриминации любых видов) запрещает что-либо делать с телом, какие-либо "модификации", в том числе нельзя стричь волосы. Они оень терпимы ко всем, а "мы" нет.

Я всегда думала, что сикхи - это индусы, а тут женщина весьма белая... У индианок такого никогда не видела, у неё наверное все же что-то с гормонами....

Пришла с работы, села перекусить- а тут такое!
Блевотный смайл!

Аааа. Осторожней надо. Форум - сильная штука. Не Делон, так волосатая сикха будут.

Ой! Еще скажите- не моюсь третий год- религия не позволяет.
Немытая сикха....

А какой ее ответ был?

Сима, такое ощущение, что на ФБ "мой друзья-твой друзья" адинакавый с ихними ссылками. я тоже читала это сегодня. Главное, что бородатые бабы не пищат про ущемление их прав и не устраивают стрип волосей на главных улицах. Какая кому разница поэтому. Неприятно лицезреть, но а у нас в церквях никогда не видели бородатых бабушек, что ли? Религия, знаете, -серьезное дело

Вот, я добавила выше, а то получается, что только про фото тема.

Вот американки не сикхи, а тоже, например, макияж считают not important. Это что тенденция такая на пути к все большему натурализму? Уже и накраситься неудобно, а мне нра...
