It would depend on the occasion, and what clothes you were wearing.

This I think is maybe the second time I ever tried down. Now that my hair is coming back I can hide quite a bit. But I did end up wearing it up as usual. After about 45 minutes of it down, it was getting kind of unruly. I have extremely frizzy hair. 

But I have a wedding coming up. So I may try down for that. Definitely time for a haircut though. Last one was November 2017!! Last time I shaved my head. ??‍? of corse I have been saying that since February. Lol

I think more feminine with it up too, but also agree with changing for the occasion.

Like an accessory, wear it accordingly. Other than that, try wearing your hair up for a more feminine look.

Could experiment by going halfway between up and down with a pollyanna? You'll get the length from the bottom layer and with the top layer pulled back, it will accentuate the feminine features previous posters mentioned. Might help with the frizz you mentioned too ;)

Only an end trim to even things up a bit and then the down will be the more feminine.

I wish that the hair on the top of my head was longer. That’s my issue with the down. Or even more with the half and half.  I have no bangs because my hair is still like a baby’s hair. I am so grateful to see it coming back but gosh is it slow growing. But it IS growing! That’s what I try to remember. But it’s about 1” long at this point. And only in like 2/3 of the area. The rest is still baby fine hair that’s trying to make the shift. In a year or two styling down will be easier. And I definitely like down more. Especially when I don’t straighten it like I did here. It’s super curly and has lots of volume everywhere but up top. So I still think it looks funny. 

And yes Vicky, only a trim!! Can’t lose the work I’ve put in this far. Lol. Growing hair is a slow process to say the least. It’s like,,,, well it’s like watching hair grow!! ?????‍♀️

I think down suits your face more, but I agree with the suggestion of varying it up depending upon the situation.

I think changing how your hair is styled is part of the fun of being a girl. I think the down is more feminine on your face. Play with different style and have fun with it!

Half up-Half down styles can be a lot of fun!  When putting your hair up, you can also try pulling hair from the sides and back (and not up and over) so it gives you a more feminine hairline.  That's my trick at least!

      Good morning    On this date in 1972 it was a Saturday. I  made a pledge to love and honor my wife and keep her forsaking all others.  I have kept those vows and here we are celebrating our 52nd anniversary still together.  Still caring for each other through sickness and in health.  Still sharing our lives.   Other than that, it’s another day near the beach.  80 and mostly sunny.     I found a ‘17 GMC Acadia yesterday I want to take a look at.  It’s a bit more than I wanted to spend but it’s doable. Only 69k miles on it, with the low mileage I put on cars these days it probably won’t ever hit 100k if I do beget it.  Low mileage now is  likely because it was a leased car at some point. Those usually get pretty good care and not a lot of miles.  It would be similar in size to my Ford, 7 passenger seating but a more basic trim which is fine.  It only has a 4 cyl engine so potentially rather under powered for a relatively large SUV.  The ford has a 4.0liter 6 which is a bit large for cars these days.  Instead of full time all wheel drive, it apparently has 4 modes, 2, 4, sport (what ever that is, I presume it’s over drive turned off) and anti slip.  It’s probably not going to happen but I am keeping my eyes open for a good deal. The old Ford is just that, an old worn out Ford.  Since I bought the Ford I’ve only put about 10k miles on it in 6 years.  My daughter once had an Acadia, top trim package.  When she was driving back and forth to work close to 100 miles per day and going to Philadelphia every week another 500 or more.  For her the miles added up fast.   still keeping my eyes open.  This is about the right age and size but I was hoping to spend about $2000 less.   Other than that I hope to meet with my minister today about paper topics for my class submission.   Other than that Monday is laundry day so I’ll be doing several loads of laundry today.     I put on a neutral gel nail polish last night.  I tried this before, however, I don’t believe I correctly understood the how to get a good result so I was more careful this time.  All I want it’s to give my bpfinger nails enough strength to grow out just a little and stop tearing.   Well, I need to call to make an urology appointment.   @Birdiei was born in Ohio and until Lamda Legal sued them you could not get a sex change on a birth certificate for any reason.  Now you can.  In South Carolina a name change requires $300 and a form filled out and filed with the clerk of courts.  But a gender change requires a birth certificate with the new gender listed.  I am hoping they will permit gender X eventually but right now the state is too Red to do any such thing.   Willow

      I have the problem, that I see myself at 3 maybe 4 on the list. I don't have the self love that I should have.   What does it mean to you?   Kymmie

      Seems the stuffy day-centre has swapped out Psychiatric Services and therapy to the local BSA hospital. BSA works closely with the local university and is much more gender accepting than the day-centre. The day-centre's psychiatrist wanted to treat me for gender dysphoria by correcting it. 🙄   I logged into MyChart app at the hospital and updated my preferred name (Birdie) and preferred gender marker for them to use.  I'll try and get a referral for gender therapy at the hospital as well.    Nevada is my place of birth and I found out changing the gender marker on my birth certificate there only requires a letter from a licensed therapist, but a name change still requires a court order.    Changing the gender marker to female would at least be one step in the right direction, then I could renew my ID to state female instead.

      Well today by attention wise was downright horrible. My legs can't stay still, can't focus on a project, my mind wanders around a lot, constantly fidgeting, easily distracted, couldn't even tell you what the sermon was about but there was vine on the altar and attention to detail sucks. I have read that it is possible to have BPD and ADHD. My mind even wanders during prayer. If I have both I won't be able to take Adderall because it makes my BPD symptoms worse. I keep having side effects that come up from my 3 traumatic brain injuries.

      If it wasn't so *EVIL*, I would have to laugh.  Everyone knows that trans women in particular have such an overwhelming superiority in poetry that the competition would be unfair if they were allowed to enter.  You can't make this stuff up!   Seriously, sorry for making light of it.  But it is only by highlighting the utter absurdity of this kind of crap, whether it occurs in Russia or Florida, that I am able to hang on to any shred of sanity.

      I used to fully agree with this statement, that is, until the first lockdown   Everyone I knew around me was affected by the pandemic. they couldn't work. they couldn't see their friends. they felt bored/ frustrated they couldn't get out of the house   and then there was me who welcomed it, because for once in my life, I didn't feel like a loser- and after lockdown, when everyone looked forward to going back to work or going out, well.. I had nothing- and I felt that no, I wasn't normal because I didn't have a life to get back to
