I cut my own hair today for the first time and I am so happy with the result. I look like a cute little lesbian with a tomboy haircut and I have been smiling every time I see my reflection. It’s was really tricky to get right and it took a long time… I’m sure someone else could have done a better job… but I finally look like myself! I put my jewellery back on for the first time in months because I felt like I deserve to look my best.
I got exactly one compliment when I went out today. “Did you cut your hair?” “Yes.” “Nice.” It’s not much but I’ll take it xD
On a side note, is this what it feels like to fit your gender? Just knowing I look like this instead of a guy with long hair has made me feel different about so many random things today
Thank you so much for telling your story, it’s really nice to hear.
I’ve also reached a stage in life where I don’t change my appearance for other people any more… Sort of. The thing holding me back is that I don’t feel I can perform my desired gender well enough and I won’t settle for a bad imitation. It would feel like I was making a mockery of myself by doing that… But now my hair is perfect and that’s one step along the path to being myself and being happier with myself
