fhdbcndndkjd watching ppl shaving their heads is making me wanna do it so bad im gonna lose it
im gonna write a list of long hair vs short hair and figure this out

jfklsjdfgs this is a lot of text & it wont all fit into the alt text so i'll add the descriptions into the reply to this after

but this is my list of pros and cons of both long & short hair....

First Image:

[A screenshot of a word document titled "Long Hair" with the subtitles "pros" and "cons".

Under the "cons" heading it lists:
* i use it as a shield & to hide from the world
* I have a kind of messed up relationship w/ my hair
* it's usually the first thing people compliment be for being traditionally associated with femininity & I’m not sure i want to be associated w/ femininity anymore
* it’s exhausting to maintain its care
* i don’t even take care of it anyway so having less work seems ideal
* it's hot & makes me sweaty in summer and spring

Under the "pros" heading, there are two items:
* it is comforting
* it's usually the first thing people compliment me on

End transcription.]

Second Image:

[A screenshot of a word document titled "Short hair" with the subtitles "pros" and "cons".

Under the "cons" heading it lists:
* I’m a timid wee mouse & terrified i won’t like how i look
* can't hide anymore

Under the "pros" heading the list continues with:
* looks badass
* grows back fast (probably fun 2 experiment w/ new styles!)
* SO EASY TO CARE FOR
* bring me out of my comfort zone & allow me to experience something new
* my mum said she doesn't want me to do it and i think her reaction would make me laugh
* i will be one step closer to presenting in a way that makes me more comfortable (i hope)
* i will be less attractive to dudes and more attractive to lesbians (thanks lesbians ily)
* can't hide anymore

End transcription.]

honestly @ this point i have no excuse not to shave my head except fear & i dont want fear to rule me so??? guess im gonna try phone my dad & ask where his clippers are lmfao
@shinylesbian you should definently go for it! Short hair is fun and if you hate it, itll grow back! The only thing I will warn you about is that if you do let your short hair grow a bit you almost definitely will have to style it in some way (bad hair day? Style or hat, no ponytails or braids lol) and if you decide to grow it out there WILL be a period where you regret every decision because it'll be at an awkward annoying length lol. Don't let that deter you though, just keep it in mind! I go back and forth btwn long and short hair, but I prefer short hair for most of the reasons that you listed 😊
@Laughwhilecrying thank you for the advice!!!! (time to invest in hats lmaoo) im so excited!!!
