N30 please delete my account as I can not figure out how to do it.

No.

From 1850s onwards, let's have a look at the appearance of the bibia who have actually done something for the panth.

100% have no turban, including the successors of Mai Bhago; Khalistani jangi bibia.

I have yet to come across one female Sewapanthi. To my knowledge, there are none alive presently, and none that I have come across in the past.

Any update?

Singhs always had heavy beard so nobody confuse them with women

Unless you're Harnaam Khan and a few other kusria.

And more recently I have been called a transgender (actually the word used was "tranny" which is the derogatory form of the word) with reference to (I guess) the fact that I apparently look like a man because I tie a dastar and my face is somehow male looking???

So I'm not the only one LOOOOOOLL

Puratan paintings of Singhnis almost never show the sikh women wearing turbans. Most paintings I have looked at often show Singhnis with braided hair or sometimes with a top-knot.

That said...

Out of like a hundred paintings I looked at, I saw one where it seemed like a Singhni is wearing a dastaar boonga. It could be a prepubescent male since there is no visible breast shape in the painting however the clothing, pink salwar kameez, seem to suggest that it is a woman with her family.

This was painted in 1838 Ad.
 

All 3 people in this image are Singhs. We cannot base colour theories based on today's meanings. I.e. the colour blue is compared to depression etc.

However, the other party ( satkirin) should also not enforce the idea that turban is a must . Some times chunni wearing bibi can be spiritually higher than a turban wearing. :)

I think this is being completely overlooked by the majority

Sikh women just started wearing turbans since AKJ and this neo Sikh mentality sunk in. Look at bhagat Singh's mom and ask other real sardar families none of their women wore pags. There are instances where people like Mai Bhago did though but that has occurred w rajput women as well and only at the time of war or a last stand. Women have never worn pags 24/7 as these neo Sikh women do. Sikh women wore bindiyan and mehndi and surma too. Men wore earrings and jewellery as well. This new Sikh rehat maryada you keep trumpeting is a new construct. You need to wake up. 

Spot on

Women should stay women and not tie paggs.

Never did it historically or traditionally,  only today thanks to the kusre mindset wale.

Absolutely pathetic to generalise all normal women to be "bimbos" and "dolled up" because they don't tie a male signifier: turban. 

Maybe that says something about your character while you didnt tie a turban.

Theres endless women who we respectable who look like women and not men.

I guess the older generations were more romantic than todays.

That explains the large number of children too then

Nah Singhs wore jewelry (also ear-rings), and applied surma to their eyes.
Not sure if putting on mehndi on wedding day is a puratan tradition.

They did!

All the males in my family have wore mehndi on their wedding with their Singhni.

I'm sure that NO ONE is insinuating that a women cannot wear a dastar, are they?

Not insinuating, but being blatantly clear. AKAAAL

LMFAO.

No mehndi no jewellery no make up

but turban is fine?

Sounds more like a male.

for example, the eyes of woman shooting arrows of cupid on handsome singh.

And it seems like the Singh is shying away ;)

or they've just come from kfc and this is their type of "selfie". O:)

Exactly. This is clearly a stylized drawing. There are many "exaggerated" elements, which are stylistic choices.

People don't see it rationally. They're drawings at the end of the day. They aren't photographs, to take them literal would be foolish.

This isn't a debate between men and woman, but preventing the masculising of women.
