Leigh,

Your hair was in attendence at Woodstock!

I have seen guys who didn't pass as well as you do.

I was one of them!

Don't give Donna Jean any of your hair - she has her own.

Love ya,

Sally

You look like a dude with long hair, honestly. At least in the face. Couldn't really see much of the rest of yourself, but if you cut the hair, you'd pass fine from the neck up, anyway.

Just my two cents,

Pól

lol...i have to say Donna Jean, you made me laugh pretty good.

thanks to sally, leo & jendar... yeah, i am kinda the hippie guy, so....

to Pol...yeah, i know cutting my hair would make me pass better....but, i can't do it. i'm severely attached to my hair..lol...it's part of my "all natural" (aside from HRT..lol) approach to life.....

i'll try and put some more up tomorrow. (just got a new computer w/webcam, since mine's been dead for like a year, and i'll need one when i move anyway...) so. yeah, there will be pictures.

thanks again y'all

peace&love

Yeah, you look young, but male, even with the long hair. If it was cut right it would push you even further. (Over that imaginary male line)

You look pretty male with long hair, but it's gonna stop you from passing because people are less hippy-ish (?) now, and any guy with long hair tends to get a second glance. That means closer scrutiny from strangers. Or, people will just see long hair and assume girl. Sucks but that's life. If you want to pass consistently, you should cut it, if you're okay with not passing then there's no reason to. You can do some things to make it look more masculine if you want to, like the basic guy with long hair looks (center part and low ponytail are all I can think of right now but you could look them up) etc.

So yeah... idk what to offer if you want to pass since sadly a big tool is haircut. Do you wear earrings? Cause those are bad if you do. And then the rest is just attitude.

You face is definitely good though

lol..yeah. it is sad that hair is such a big thing.

but i think i should be ok once i move for passing as male (since i'll be in a more urban area, and long haired guys won't be as weird).

i don't wear earings, except cartilage piercings, so i don't think that's a problem..yeah, never been a big fan of jewelry.

i'm pretty sure my attitude is fine, except that i'm not very confidant where i am right now, since i can't really ask people to call me my male name, etc...out of fear that it'll get back to my family or i'll lose my job(s).

so, i just act like myself, but (i guess) kind of distant...

peace&love

Huh? Can I? Please?

You wouldn't want to get it all burned and everything.......

      Hi, Amanda.  Your story sounds quite familiar, though my pesky body part didn't need the attention of a urologist.  You are in good company here!

      By KathyLauren · Posted

      Hi, @AmandaJoy.  Welcome to Trans Pulse.  Be sure to check out the various forums and join in any threads that interest you.  We'd love to read all about you in the Introductions forum.   -----   I started programming in Dartmouth Basic in high school back in the early 1970s.  I did my degree in Computer Science.  After a brief stint in the "government flying club" (RCAF), I worked as a programmer-analyst and systems analyst for about 25 years.    I am retired now, but I still enjoy programming.  I write a lot of the code for my astrophotography observatory.

      WOW HAS IT BEEN A WHILE SINCE I'VE UPDATED!!! Welp, I'm updating now, and it's been a lot of changes.  1. My mom is starting to come around a little (I think). She does refer to me more as her child now, and even offered to help me cut my hair so I think we're making a little progress. I'm still planning on going on T later and I'm gonna start saving up to buy trans tape (I can't wear binders because I have GERD), so hopefully the progress stays. My dad, sibling, friends, and my paternal grandparents have all been super supportive and I'm really lucky for that. My sibling also goes out of their way to introduce me as their brother and it makes me so happy :D 2. I've been socializing a lot more! Mostly on Discord, but I've made some new friends and I'm really happy about that!  3. I'm on birth control! I still need to go to the gyno but my GP got me on the depo shot and it's been working for me so far! My dysphoria has gone through a lot of ups and downs, especially around periods, but that source is pretty much gone now and I feel way better. I do have more dysphoria centered around my chest now but that's pretty easily fixed with baggy shirts most of the time.  4. I know 100% now that I'm hoping for a uterine ablation (cauterizing the uterine tissue so it doesn't grow) at some point in the future and it's likely something I'll have to save up for but from my research it's a lot less invasive and safer than a hysterectomy so I definitely recommend it if people are able to access it. I also know that after that, I want to save up for a reduction to combat the chest dysphoria, and I still like having it sometimes so I'll keep a bit of it (I'm shooting for an A cup, I'm a C cup currently).  5. I've been writing more and I've even got some ideas for art projects! I also got an Archive of Our Own account where I post my finished writing, and I'm starting a book project at my mom's urging (she said she wanted that as her Christmas present so I'm gonna try, might not get it done this year though). I haven't gotten to write much lately but I'm hoping to change that this month.  And finally, 6. I'm gonna be a college junior and I have a career path to pursue! I'm gonna be an archivist, hopefully working for a museum (not too specific on where, I just like museums).  So yeah, a lot of stuff has happened and it's been pretty good!

      Around here, a culturally-appropriate gender-neutral form of address is either "dear" or "hun".  It tends to be mostly women who use those, though I did have a man address me as "dear" in a store today.    It could be startling for a come-ffrom-away to hear themselves being addressed that way, but, locally, it is considered a friendly, not particularly creepy, gender-neutral way to address someone.
