Leigh's Hair: Discuss.

alright guys/gals/everyone.

i have long crazy hair.

i am attached to it (literally too..haha.)

so, basically i haven't cut it in a while..and every time i cut it i feel sad (waa poor me...moving on)

but, it really does keep me from passing a lot....i think. though i'm not really in a place where i can try to pass as male anyway......whatever.

i'm trying to pass for myself.

so.

back to the issue.

i could just leave it long. or i could do dreadlocks (i've wanted to since i was a little kid, and it's really thick and course, and tangles like...well, yeah, wouldn't be hard to do)

Lew has suggested that i just cut it and donate it (since something good must come out of every action...)

but, 2 probelems (sorry, Lew) 1. if i cut it i'll have a white boy fro...it'll just look...puffy. dumb. etc...or if i go really short everyone will see my lumpy head.

2. locks of love doesn't accept bleached hair (that's right...it's not completely natural..i fail there...)

so.................ideas?

i'm kinda thinking that dreadlocks is my best bet, but i want to know what you all think.

peace&love

I was gonna say donate, but if you can't then I'd go with dreads. Your hair looks perfect for that, and it'd look really cool. Would not suggest the afro. My dad had one when he was 16. His hair is dark, but it still makes a frightening picture :P

Well, Poo!

Since you won't give it to me...I vote Dreds!

I really like the Locks of Love idea, but I had no idea that they didn't take bleached hair!

Dreds!

Dread r wicked, i want them but not allowed

that sucks man. i had a friend in high school who's mum wouldn't let her get dreads cuz they're too masculine. whatever happened to cultural appreciation.

just tell your mum you want to do it b/c of your heritage... she should like that, right?

peace&love

leigh

ps.

yeah, think i'm going for the dreads. rolls with my "nature" thing...lol.

I've never been a big fan of dreadlocks but I had a friend in college who had the 'white' Afro and it looked ridiculus on him!

So with those as the choices - dreadlocks, MON!

Love ya,

Sally

Awsomeness!!

A silly suggestion: Do you have to donate your hair to a human? I bet birds would love to use your hair as nesting material. And I bet they wouldn't be too picky about the bleach, either.

I think if passing is your priority, you should probably cut it. It IS possible to cut your hair short without having the 'fro look or buzzing it and showing a strangely shaped skull. If cutting it is not an option, then I vote dreads.

I may be a minority on this but I'd say leave it long. I like the way it is. There are a lot of guys with long hair and I think the trend of long hair is coming back. You said it yourself, cutting makes you sad. Why do we want that? hehe.

I would say dreads over an afro also. I seen a few afro's on diiferent people and they didnt look as good as dreads do.

      I attend a medical day-centre in Texas for needed medical services. It's religious oriented, so not gender fluid friendly. I of course dress 100% in female attire yet androgynous to keep both "them happy", and I really don't mind.    I of course am imposed rules that no other participant is bound by. The examples are the allowed size of my backpack, or how many visits per day I can see my Representative payee.  The gender neutral restroom use was a compromise that all off us have agreed to.  Not being able to wear tanks tops or shorts that aren't "Bermuda length" are other examples of where I am restricted more than any other participant. "Bra talk" is strictly forbidden, even though their doctor and occupational therapist were the ones that told me I needed support due to neck pain.    I found myself being reprimanded by staff three times yesterday for very petty details, and they have constantly pushed for me to remove myself from the program voluntarily. I am of course someone not welcomed in the program, but federal discrimination laws prevent them from removing me. They instead are just making life miserable with the hopes that I will leave on my own.

      Nope.  I live in a rural area.  Pride events are for city folks.  The normally quiet LGBTQ+ club kind of changes atmosphere during that time, and things get a bit political.  As a non-Democrat, I avoid it.
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      For me, definitely the size thing.  I'm 5'4" on a good day, and 100lbs.  I can pass as a teenage boy, but never for my real mid-30s age.  And since my husband looks older than his age, I'm often assumed to be his kid.  Or folks think there's something illegal going on.      Also, my lack of the typical aggressive "masculine" demeanor.  I don't really desire the typical masculine social role, nor could I do it even if I tried really hard.  I'm usually quiet and kind of timid.

      I am sorry for your struggles. I cannot empathize, but I can surely sympathize. I wish only the best for you!

      No, they are the only provider of services I need an my area. 😑

      My size. A lot of guys aren't 5'3" at seventeen. My hands. It's a less noticeable one, but my hands are very "feminine"? If you know what I mean. My voice. Very high-pitched. I don't just sound like a female, I sound like a little girl sometimes My chest. I've had to stop binding due to frequent aches doing so, and it's not nearly small enough to just cover with baggy clothes My family. They still call me she/her, so that's an automatic out. My anxiety. I might be able to pass better if I had the courage to correct people. Instead, I'm too scared to speak up, so I find it hard. My lack of men's clothes.   Anyone else have these problems, or other ones?

      From what I have read and heard most people are so.busy with their everyday lives and either looking at their phones or in a hurry to notice you out and about. 
    • RaineOnYourParade
      This exactly ^^^   I actually really liked games where I was required to play a male character. It felt homey, in a way. 
    • violet r
      I been play texas chainsaw massacre game most recently. It free on game pass right now. Just need a good team
    • violet r
      Anyone play war and order on their phones?  
    • violet r
      I can relate.  I have always played a female character when given the opportunity. Not really and reason except I just alway pick them since I was young

      Yes, our little town is having its 3rd annual Pridefest. I've volunteered the first two years  from setup to tear down (though I do take an hour off to eat and drink in the middle).     Then I attend a bigger one a couple towns over that has had some decent entertainment from some semi-famous folks (Laura Benanti, Patrick Wilson, Carmen Carrera, Judy Gold, etc).    This year I made sure to ask off of (weekend) shifts to attend a 3rd one where a group I'm in is in the parade.

      Hi Vicky, I agree with you, so far since the time I've been under the new treating doctor's care, she prescribed me medication, but it's for children lol  luckily  my pharmacy warned me from a phone call not to take the medication.
