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.

      Incredible news for transgender and abortion providers and patients in Maine. Despite violent threats, Gov. Janet Mills of Maine has signed a sanctuary bill into law. It even enshrines WPATH Standards of Care as protected by Maine.   https://twitter.com/ErinInTheMorn/status/1782894991368462520/photo/1

      Basically my only source of validation is from close friends who know I'm trans 😅   I'm not a very masculine-looking guy in general, and I've had to stop binding due to pain, so strangers and physical validation aren't things I can get. My family still uses she/her pronouns and female terms with me, so there's not much validation at home, either.   I'm grateful I have friends that are willing to use my pronouns and such, though. It makes me feel a lot better.

      I use my  chosen name online and when ever I can. I play some online game and only go by that name. That is how everyone there know me. Yes it does feel great to be called the name you prefer.

      I was ten years old when my mom walked in on me frolicking around my room dressed up in her bra, panties, and some pantyhose. I had been doing this in the privacy of my bedroom for a little while now so I had my own little stash box I kept full of different panties, bras, etc ... of hers. My mom's underwear was so easy for me to come by and she was a very attractive woman, classy, elegant. Well when she walked in on me, she looked at me with disgust and said to me... "If I wanted to run around like mommy's little girl instead of mommy's little boy, then she was going to treat me like mommy's little girl."  She left my bedroom after telling me NOT to change or get dressed or anything and returned with a few of her work skirts and blouses and such. She made me model off her outfits for her and I have to admit ... I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT. I felt so sexy, and feminine. And she knew I loved it.  She told me we can do this every weekend if I'd like. It would be OUR little secret.

      The usual social ways, of course.  Taking care of my partners and stepkids, being involved in my community.  That makes me feel good about my role.   As for physical validation and gender... probably the most euphoric experience is sex.  I grew up with my mother telling me that my flat and boyish body was strange, that my intersex anatomy was shameful, that no man would want me. So experiencing what I was told I could never have is physical proof that I'm actually worth something.

      <Moderator hat on>  I think that, at this point we need to get the thread back onto the topic, which is the judge's ruling on the ballot proposition.  If there is more to be said on the general principles of gendered spaces etc., please discuss them, carefully and respectfully, in separate threads. <Moderator hat off>

      People who have no understanding of transgender conditions should not be making policy for people dealing with it. Since it is such a small percentage of the population, and each individual is unique, and their circumstances are also unique, each situation needs to be worked with individually to see that the best possible solution is implemented for those involved. 
    • Abigail Genevieve
      No.  You are getting stuck on one statement and pulling it out of context.   Trans kids have rights, but so do non-trans kids.  That conflict is best worked out in the individual situation. 
    • MaeBe
      I get the concept, I believe. You're trying to state that trans kids need to or should be excluded from binary gender spaces and that you acknowledge that answers to accommodate those kids may not be found through policy. I disagree with the capability of "penetration" as being the operative delimiter in the statement, however. I contest this statement is poorly chosen at best and smacks of prejudice at worst. That it perpetuates certain stereotypes, whether that was the intent or not.   Frankly, all kids should have the right to privacy in locker rooms, regardless of gender, sexuality, or anatomy. They should also have access to exercise and activities that other kids do and allow them to socialize in those activities. The more kids are othered, extracted, or barred from the typical school day the more isolated and stigmatized they become. That's not healthy for anyone, the excluded for obvious reasons and the included for others--namely they get to be the "haves" and all that entails.

      Context.  Read the context.  Good grief.
    • MaeBe
      Please don't expect people to read manifold pages of fiction to understand a post.   There was a pointed statement made, and I responded to it. The statement used the term penetration, not "dissimilar anatomy causing social discomfiture", or some other reason. It was extended as a "rule" across very different social situations as well, locker and girl's bedrooms. How that term is used in most situations is to infer sexual contact, so most readers would read that and think the statement is that we "need to keep trans girl's penises out of cis girls", which reads very closely to the idea that trans people are often portrayed as sexual predators.   I understand we can't always get all of our thoughts onto the page, but this doesn't read like an under-cooked idea or a lingual short cut.

      I shopped online in the beginning of transition. I had great success with SHEIN and Torrid!
