Does dye for unnatural hair colors cause brain damage?

My perception of this is that unnatural colors give a perception of detaching the person from nature. This is especially true for blue hair because it's so detached from appearing human or natural. It's perhaps a subconscious thing and somewhat related to how i observe "coming out" as gay vs as trans. Coming out as gay usually involves some kind of acceptance of yourself as you are where "coming out" as trans involves a full rejection of yourself as you are in place of an imagined avatar in your mind. It's almost a full rejection of biology and humanity itself. So many of them dive in with the very unflattering decorations on their body and I think it is like a full rejection of a human image so as to obscure their actual sex because they realize that they can't trick people into seeing them as the opposite sex. The unnatural colors are like a way to cope with an inability to force your human body to match the imagined avatar.

Just a bit of a theory.

A majorly important point. The experience of "coming out as trans" is so completely unrelated to "coming out as gay" that it's almost bewildering as to how the two were ever considered similar. I am inclined to assume that a lot of clueless people who never tried to understand what "coming out as gay" is like, just assumed that the two phrases mean the same thing...

I agree with your theory. I would even take it a step farther: I wonder whether people the identity tourists who "identify as gay" and have a big component of their self-esteem wrapped up in a "gay/lesbian/bisexual identity"-- as opposed to a person just accepting their attraction pattern and acting in a way that feels natural to them-- are doing this whole massive makeover routine of dyeing and cutting off hair, getting many body modifications, etc. because they see "gay" as a desirable costume that will hide whoever they really are. (I'm kind of exhausted and this is a half-baked thought so feel free to point out any discrepancies, but I do see a parallel there.)
