yeah I don’t relate to the “every trans person/transmasc has a moment where they cut their hair to feel euphoric” thing because one
1. IM BLACK😭😭😭😭
2. black hair is a symbol of pride along with black people (of all genders) being raised to NOT fuck with their hair so we kinda develop hair trauma in a way.(yes hair trauma is a very real thing)
3. our hair texture works differently than most peoples hair and it takes SO LONG to grow back.
4. hope this makes sense, especially to white transmasc folks.
oh my god thank you for this.
I’m so tired of the “erm, transmasc pixie cut!” Thing because that just isn’t how my hair works.
I’m straight up growing my hair out to become MORE masculine so I can try masc hairstyles instead of people thinking I’m just a short-haired girl.
I’ve been gendered correctly more with longer hair than I have with shorter hair because I can put it into chunky twists and braids.
the way everyone puts “white guy” as the pinnacle of the transmasc experience infuriates me, because that’s just and unrealistic goal.
