In this paper, we explore queer temporalities in relation to queer women and non-binary people's sexuality later in life.

Loose anagen syndrome (LAS) is a hair disorder involving insufficient anchoring of the hair follicle to the scalp owing to an autosomal dominant or sporadic mutation in the gene encoding keratin 6.
