Thinking of making a comic about how hijab and tichel are actually very different and acting as if they’re similar hinders your understanding of both and the cultures the come from

Why do some Jews cover their hair or heads?

For some, it’s law. For others, it’s culture, spirituality, modesty, or identity. Men might wear kippot, hats, or turbans; women might wear sheitels, scarves, or nothing at all.

Sources like Ketubot 72a and Mishnah Berurah shaped centuries of practice, but today, it varies by community and conviction.

There’s no single story, only a rich mosaic of tradition, choice, and meaning.

Joined a cross religion discord server for veiling/headscarves and immediately one of the mods went nuclear on a user for daring to be Israeli and saying happy passover. "you can celebrate passover and we love Jews but hate Zionists" was said. The mod ended up kicking the Israeli for being born in a country.

Left that server immediately but by God come on people

Veiled Queer People Belong In Queer Spaces Too

I've seen this idea that's sort of ingrained in the queer community that someone who dresses modestly and/or veils is either homophobic or doesn't belong in queer spaces. In reality, there are many queer people that wear veils like hijab/niqab, tichel, himation/tegidion, the list goes on. I think that idea comes from veiling being associated with misogyny and misogyny being linked with homophobia. While misogyny is often linked with homophobia, veiling is NOT a misogynistic practice. There's also this idea that men/nonbinary people can't and don't wear veils and many trans men and nonbinary people feel invalidated because queer and cishet people alike don't know that many religions allow and even encourage men to wear veils. In Hellenic polytheism (my religion) men and women alike have historically worn veils like the himation. I get a lot of people asking me why I identify as transmasc while wearing a veil and telling me that there's no point in me being nonbinary while wearing veils.

I used to wrap my hair every day. I stopped when I left my abusive ex. He never made me cover my hair, but it was symbolic of our relationship, so I stopped. I've started experimenting with tichels again though. This was (and still is) my favorite scarf I have. It's a messy wrap, but I like it.

Hello so im thinking of starting to wear a tichel. Not only as an anti-assimilation, cultural heritage thing, but it also seems like it will accomplish the task of keeping my hair out of my face and just look cool fashion wise.

So in terms of purchasing one, should I get a regular scarf or something specifically for a tichel? To people who wear one, are there any specific companies/brands you like? I have long-ish (past my shoulder blades), thick, curly hair, any tips on how to tie it up before putting on the tichel? Does it need to be fixed in place with a pin, or if you tie it right will it stay up by itself? I dont have a lot of jews in my life, so there isn't really someone i could ask irl, besides the online and here, so if you have any tips that would be lovely thank you!
