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.
