Your point is definitely convincing.

A piece of cloth is not a religious symbol I agree. Head coverings in Islam are normally monotone and don't have any obviously religious symbols unless it's a hijab/niqab. So by my logic anyone can just claim it's secular, so this can't be forbidden

Maybe most white Western women don’t? I am from the Global South. Some people are really negative about involving children in religion

actually felt more empowered precisely because they could control who gets to see what of themselves Very good point. Yes, in this case covering your head is totally legit

In addition to literally stopping white people from randomly touching your hair just because “they’re so different!” Omg, I never knew people can be that creepy. Ahh, the West...
