I don't so much mind the dyed hair when it looks good and they upkeep it and pull it off well.
There is a girl with [redacted] that does it nicely, and another one with [redacted] that also seems to know how to not look like a tard. I mean, in this day and age, multicolored hair is fine as long as, like everything else, you upkeep it.
It's just the really far out there things, like the face paint.
I have yet to see [redacted] guy. Wow.
Also, as far as transgender people go, I get why you're saying the image has a bit of a stereotype attached but one of the most successful and productive men in the BFA program I know is transgender and he looks fine. As long as you get your shit done well, and don't freak people out.
(There is this one transgender kid I know who graduated last year who does nothing but whine about how he can't get a job on Tumblr though, when his portfolio is hosted ON tumblr and filled with fetish trash. I can't imagine what interviewing him must be like. I wouldn't want him working for me either. That WOULD be a PR disaster. Maybe don't have 'kill all cis white men' linked up to you professional image. Just saying. It's hysterical. )
