Changes...


Change is inevitable. By now, you've noticed the recent name change to The Bald Wave. It's a change that was long overdue. So why the change? I'll keep it short and simple:

  1. Women (cis or transgender) with shaved heads or who are open about their baldness are more accepted than ever.
  2. Although shaved heads are less common on women than males, they are more common now. Why? There is a shift in gender norms. 
  3. That shift in gender norms is building on earlier societal changes, meaning we appear to be at the start of a bald wave, where women increasingly feel comfortable shaving their heads or being bald in public.
  4. The new title is more inclusive than the old title. The Bald Wave's target audience is still cis-female, trans-female, non-binary, and of course allies. 
That's it. I obtained a new domain name to move the contents of this blog, which I hope to do in a few months, depending on traffic (which is how I gauge interest in this blog). Otherwise, expect more of the content that you're used to seeing here.
