Apologies for being a bit unclear. I have red hair, which in British colloquy is known as "ginger". Some take offence to the term, others revel in it as we love our hair colour. I am firmly in the latter camp and my some of my friends adopted the nickname I once gave to myself of "ginger menace" :-)

My use of this was to show that I take no offence at someone using one of my attributes as part of my identity.

Fair, fair. A childhood friend of mine was repeatedly bullied for having red hair, so I've become particularly sensitive to it.
