Redditors Get A Lesson In Tolerance of the Day
Cross-posted from GD. Thanks Kindly Refrain.

Redditor european_douchebag recently posted this pic of a Sikh woman with the caption: "i'm not sure what to conclude from this."
Redditors promptly piled on to criticize her facial hair, which she is bound by her religion not to cut or alter in any way.
Then the woman caught wind of the post and responded:
Hey, guys. This is Balpreet Kaur, the girl from the picture. ... I'm not embarrased or even humiliated by the attention [negative and positve] that this picture is getting because, it's who I am.
Yes, I'm a baptized Sikh woman with facial hair. Yes, I realize that my gender is often confused and I look different than most women.
