Ok so my mom knows about me and she is into me growing my hair. Teh problem is that she doesnt like the scraggly way it looks right now, she says that it needs to be styled> I'm just afraid that she'll want it to be cut. Any suggestions?

Fransisca,

Unfortunately at this stage all you can do i just get it lightly trimmed once a month or so to keep it neat, get a hairstyle magazine at the grocery store or bookshop and pick a style you like, then go to a salon, not a barber shop and show the stylist the style you want your hair to look like when it gets longer, just like transition there are some awkward stages, unfortunately this is one of them. I never told my stylist why i wanted a female hairstyle but i can assume she knew from the way i dressed, i always gave her a big tip. I found my current stylist from a gay friend i had known many years, his lesbian sister does hair out of her home, one bedroom is her salon and it has everything, if you ask around maybe you can find someone that works out of their home, it is a more relaxed atmosphere.

I started out with almost a shaved head and had to wear a wig till my own hair grew long enough, not enjoyable during the summer when it is hot and i sweat allot.

      I don't understand how if it's wrong to block care for 2 people, it's still okay to block it for everyone else.   But of course I'm not a lawyer/s   "He said minors diagnosed with gender dysphoria "deserve love, support, and medical care rooted in biological reality.""    The thing is, they don't believe we actually exist.

      Good morning,   Put on my favourite new Rock band Tee from Torrid and some shorts.  I am just about ready to go spend my day at the stuffy day-centre after I get done soaking my feet.

      4 months doesn’t seem such a long time now compared to the times I was previously looking at! 🙂   Many thanks to @Karen Careyfor pointing me towards GenderCare, they have been nothing but helpful and professional, and I wouldn’t be where I am now without them.

      What is a perfect day for you?

      Love is a mix of feelings and actions that shows a deep liking for someone or something. Love involves caring for another. Romantic love can lead to things such as dating, marriage and sex, but a person can also feel for friends, such as platonic love, or family. There are also chemical reactions within the brain that can be triggered by the different types of love.

      Good morning, everyone!! I'm still battling the Worst Head Cold Ever. Just when I think I've turned the corner, it smacks me back down. If you've got stock in tissues, I'm driving up your profits.   Our early Spring has the grass growing quickly. I need to get out today and cut it before it grows over the house. Today is supposed to be sunny and mid-60s so I'll suck up not feeling great and get the mowers out. At least I'll be in the sunshine for a few hours. The next few days are supposed to be rainy so it's today or wait until the weekend.   Time for a second cup of coffee!!   Stay safe and enjoy this beautiful day we've been given!!

      Welcome Mattie.  When i got here i was at a point bin my journey when i was discovering my path.  Writing about it and reading about others helped me greatly as did gender therapy.  Perhaps the hardest thing was finding self acceptance without feeling guilt at simply being me. Enjoy your time here.  You are not alone.   Hugs,   Charlize

      @Breanne_O You seem to be on your way there girl-- full speed ahead it was a real adventure for me 11 years ago.

      I picked a cancellation spot with Dr Lorimer yesterday and had my consultation a month early.  I had been worried about how it would go, but the process of exchanging information was nothing to worry about and I felt quite at ease throughout.  That’s not to say some parts weren’t challenging to articulate clearly, but Dr Lorimer’s manner helped enormously.   The GI/GD diagnosis was such a welcome conclusion to it all, and such an important milestone in my journey.   Now for the Endo consult waiting…
