passport beard
So, I realized that I have to renew my passport in the next 9 months. No biggie. But I've been on an epic beard-growing frenzy, and I don't want to look all scruffy on my passport again. My current picture is pretty fine, but I had a big messy beard and hair on the previous one. My mom said I looked like a terrorist. Thanks mom, I love you too

Interesting. My observation is that hairdressers around here are very predominantly Arab in origin. My last two barbershops had 100% Arab staff, and the stylist I went to to get the purple done was also Arab, along with most of the rest of the staff at that shop.
I wonder if it’s a regional thing?

Oh whatever. Not like you (of all people) need me to tell you this, but if you’re cool with the look, then why not rock it on a passport? Will it get you extra scrutiny at the border? Honestly, I’d expect the difference to be minimal.
(Of course, if you aren’t so keen on the look yourself, that’s a different matter (although then, why would you be growing it out to begin with?)... but that ain’t got nuffin’ to do with who thinks you “look like a terrorist”.)

I'm growing my beard, but it's an experiment; so I don't know what it'll look like. So I'm going into uncharted territory that I'm not sure about. Also, despite being a long-haired and bearded guy, I rather loathe "looking like a hippie". Previous attempts at growing my beard longer ended when I entered hippie territory. I've also stopped being called Jesus by dumb strangers since I've started combing a side parting in my hair*, which is a good development. But really, I just want my beard to look stylish. When it was shorter I was doing a decent job at trimming it, but now I don't quite know what to do with it. And I don't want some weird look on my passport. I'm kinda vain this way. :P My pink skin would filter any border problems, yeah.
*: I'm not sure it's related, and I didn't start combing my hair that way for that reason, but I assume that's why it stopped. Or maybe I've stopped tangling with dumb strangers. I gotta start picking fights again...

Indeed, my bio doesn't gender me, and it's also painfully out of date. Ack!!@ Updated, but still not gendered. :P
