I listened to the first voice and I'm mostly happy with it. I definitely lost the instant femininity buff of mid-back-length hair, but also anyone reading my brightly colored hair and shullet as manly isn't worth my cares anyways.
plus it's pretty cool to have the haircut I picked as being fem-yet-dykish vindicated by Kristen Stewart having the same haircut in that new A24 lesbian movie, Love Lies Bleeding (which I'm definitely going to watch soon™).
but definitely do your own thing! sacrificing several years' growth for the sake of a crazy haircut is certainly a big choice; I just wanted to let you know it's possible to come out the other side and still feel pretty damn feminine.
why does hair length even affect this, gender is a fucking psyop
I mean, for me in particular, it's partially loss of hair length and partially the fact I went for an aggressive side fade, which is either masc- or dyke-coded, depending how you look at it. but yeah it's bullshit that, like, long hair is feminine and short hair is masculine.
it's also worth noting that as an enby I don't particularly want to be read as a woman, but it's complicated bc, as a transfem enby, I'd absolutely rather be read as a woman than as a man. like if people are gonna misgender me I'd rather it be away from my AGAB, if that makes sense?
NNNNNOOOOOO BUT YOUR NATURAL HAIR IS SO PWETTY
yo literally same, comments since cut + dye have basically been a split between "yo that's fucking awesome" and "noooo your hair was so beautiful and full" – but like, the first option is mostly from fellow queers and the second is mostly from straights, which makes me feel vindicated as hell.

Part of the issue too is, whenever I suggest this people go "NNNNNOOOOOO BUT YOUR NATURAL HAIR IS SO PWETTY" which yes, it is, but Idk sometimes...
