Not true , everyone ' s vote should count the same , regardless of the states color , otherwise , we will always be having this conversation . This is the classic ' we ' ve always done it this way ', and its time to kill the EC . Now on the other hand , Republicans have never won the popular and lost the EC , so they certainly have something to lose . <| sep |> I haven ' t experienced this , nor do I know anyone personally who ' s experienced this that I know of , but it ' s a known thing . I think there ' s even some mention of changes in eye pigmentation in the pharmacy white sheet on one of the meds , probably Estradiol . Semirelated , I was ashhoney blonde as a child . When I hit puberty or puberty hit me , with the accompanying hirsutism and such , my facial hair was almost black . The hair on my head gradually darkened to match . One ' s hair often gets darker after pregnancy as hormone levels change and the estrogentestosterone balance shifts a bit , and I ' m guessing something similar happened here . I haven ' t returned to being naturally blonde on HRT though , at least as of yet .
