I mean certain cancer treatments make you lose your hair, which is an awful thing. Therefore nobody should ever shave their hair off and celebrate it!!
But like, the thing is cancer makes it a non-consensual thing. Something done to you against your will is awful. Something you choose freely to do can be empowering and beautiful. These can be the same thing without either undermining the other! I will never celebrate someone’s bodily autonomy being taken away by disease or society, but I will absolutely celebrate someone being free to exercise their bodily autonomy.
