I've always modeled myself after Ginger.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've had years of teasing about my red hair, but I definitely think it toughened me up. If you're ginger, you end up pretty quick-witted.
My husband calls me a ginger every single day of my life, so that I'm completely used to it, and I've come to see it as a term of endearment.
I personally don't think ginger men have a habit of being attractive. We have to make ourselves seem attractive by doing stuff.
I was a redhead when I first came to America.
When I was younger, I definitely did face anti-ginger prejudice. As a child, all teasing hurts, whether it's because you're fat or a different race or have red hair. I had enough comments from a couple of people to make it a sore point.
I always have a beard between jobs. I just let it grow until they pay me to shave it. People are quite surprised it's ginger. Sometimes they ask me if dye my hair and I always say 'Wow, no!' I'm 'trans-ginger.'
Redheads get so stereotyped. You're either exotic and wild or totally Victorian.
When I realised I had a facility for humour, I latched on to it, and it gave me confidence and I built my personality around it. So I subconsciously made myself become the funny one so that would be my label rather than the ginger one or the red-faced one.
I always fancied someone might call me 'Red,' like Katherine Hepburn.
I never wanted to be a ginger.
