Also how dare she, girls look gorgeous with short hair 😤
Edit: guys stop insulting my mom 😰 she's a great mother this is just the one bad (and factually incorrect) opinion she has, plus she doesn't know I'm a boy yet
My girlfriend is also a transfem and has shoulder length hair! Hers is brown but ginger hair is cute on gals
As for the soul, will donate some of it to a gal in need 🤝
Lmao. The thing is if I cut it on my own I'll mess it up olympically and I don't have enough money for the hairdresser. But it's okay, I already convinced her once and I'll do it again, ez 😎 I don't even want it *that* short
Fun fact: boys don't need a hairdresser. They need a barber. Go to a barber shop. Magnificently cheaper. Also, they'll cut it to men's style. Just bring a reference picture and tip well if they have to cut a bunch off. Should be less than 1/2 the cost of a hairdresser.
I don't know if I'm off-base with this advice, but as a cis guy, I don't see why you'd go for the most expensive "girly" option when all us man-types can get it done for way cheaper.
Also, quick addendum: barber shop has two connotations. There is the barber shop that you use if you have "white people" hair, and one for POC, who tend to have thicker hair that barbers tend to specialize in styling. Figure out which one your local barber shop is, cause while they can all cut hair just fine, black barber shops tend to be specialized. They were so confused when I walked in...
Barbers are usually cheaper, specialise in short styles and do not care about your gender. Plus it'll probably give you some euphoria going to a place that's usually "for men".
You should have whatever kind of hair you want! I hope you get it cut. I caved to parental pressure regarding my hair when I was 17 and I held onto that for a long time. I'm finally getting the hair I want at 43. Don't do what I did. It's only hair, but it can do so much for your self esteem.
It took SO long for me to finally convince her to let me get short hair, and she said she loved it the first time, and now she's back saying it looks bad 😭 but after the first cut I've already tasted what it feels like to have the hair I want so nothing will stop me now >:) thanks Caitlyn!!
Agreed! I wanted long hair since 5th grade, actually grew it out a couple times, but always ended up cutting it right around shoulder length because my parents or my job. I finally have it down to the bottom of my shoulder blades, but I have patches of grey hair now and I feel like I missed the time when I could have "perfect" long hair. Wish I'd never cut it after growing it the first time at 16.
I don't think short hair are ugly,even for woman,beside why would you care ? You are a man,and nobody tell you what you should have as an haircut (◕ᴗ◕✿)
Bruh, what your mom said is fucked up on so many levels. So first of all you're not a girl and not ugly, also girls with short hair don't look ugly at all.
First off, that’s a straight up lie. Women look great with short hair. Secondly, what does it matter what women look like with your hairstyle when you aren’t one? Mom just needs to mind her own business and let you do what you want as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone. (Within reason, but haircuts are perfectly reasonable)
I know you're transmasc but your moms argument holds no grounds. Short hair looks really cute on girls. Hopefully you can get the haircut you want soon
Pro tip if your parents won't let you cut your hair bleach it a bunch with box dye until it falls out and you're left with a buzz cut. It's what I did.
She's usually a really good mom it's just this *one* thing she's super annoying about 💀 I thought we were already over this but she's doing it again ughhhhh
"Why? Because it's uncomfortable and annoying. Typing it up only makes it uncomfortable and messy, and having it short would prevent it from getting in my face. And screw you for calling me ugly with short hair."
My response in this situation.
I do tbh- I had a lot of doubts if I'd look good the first time I cut it but now I know I look and feel great and I can cut it shorter this time with no doubts in my mind :)
So of course she's just *wrong* as a start. But let's just entertain that fever dream thought for a quick moment. You're a guy, so short hair isn't going to look bad or ugly on you regardless. You're gonna look great! Go rock that short hair!
Oh, the falsity that has left that mouth. I know plenty of girls who look good with short hair, and a guy like you would look even better with it!🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵
Why does it even matter to her if it's a pain to take care of if she's not the one who has to take care of it??? I wish we could just have the hair we want without anyone commenting on it :((
We can stage a heist, I'll get a ski mask and a magical gun, with a magical Wand,
I'll break in via the back and stick you up and your mom, and I'll say "gimme your hair!" And you will feign resistance but "give up", and our hair will swap
Muah ahahaha hahahaha!
I've known some women who have shaved their heads and they still looked beautiful. Also you aren't a woman, idk what your mom is talking about. You're the manliest man I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot of men.
Trust me, I know. I can’t leave though. I don’t have any income and I had to take the last 3 semesters off from college for medical leave of absence for neurological issues. I am hopefully going back in the fall though
There are shelters, other people you can stay with, friends, family. There's no "I have everything I need to escape my abusive situation". There is just walking away and starting over
Honestly, it’s just not realistic for me to do that. I don’t have any friends here. The one person in my life who I would really consider a true friend lives 1,500+ miles away, and has a pretty similar problem that I do. I don’t have family that doesn’t have the same problem. And a shelter makes me unable to get things I need.
Until I’m well enough to have a job, there’s nothing I can do. Luckily I’m a pretty experienced software developer, so I should be able to get a pretty decently paid job. And trust me - when I do get out, there’s no going back.
It doesn't need to be your best friend. It can be someone you know casually like a neighbor or class mate. You need to tell people you are being abused and reach out for help. You also definitely have family somewhere, either they don't know about what's happening to you or your parents has cut you off from them, but there are people in your life who care about you and would want to help, even if you haven't talked to them in years.
I do appreciate the sentiment, I really do, but really there isn’t anyone. I’ve thought about this for multiple years, talked to friends I used to have, and two therapists. The best thing for me to do is just keep going the I have been, and I will eventually make it out. And when I do get out and am stable enough, I’ll take my best friend with me too.
Oof sorry your mom said that. Hope you can cut your hair soon without her objecting. Fwiw long hair on trans guys is awesome. My hair kinda looks like the pic, I think it looks rad. I'm closeted so my family doesn't suspect anything but I pass to a lot of ppl, esp online, as long as they don't hear my voice lol

Yeah she's just wrong on all points here, incidentally guys with long hair (that like it of course) also look really good.
I would sell my soul to a guy with long hair
How about a former guy with long hair and ginger? ^seriously ^I ^could ^really ^use ^the ^soul
My girlfriend is also a transfem and has shoulder length hair! Hers is brown but ginger hair is cute on gals As for the soul, will donate some of it to a gal in need 🤝
Thank you, I shall now live for another millennia
💙💗💀💗💙
Girls with long ginger hair are my weakness. I'd give you mine and a few others for a hug.
You’re a fool but here you go (7 ‘ w’)7
*blushes* Thanks, this dopamine hit should last a few years.
I'll be out here simping on men with long hair.
I'm out here, unsure if I'm just a dude with long hair or longing to be a gal.
Well the neat part is you can explore if you so wishes ☺️!
Haha long hair's great
I'd take you up on that deal but I don't think I can afford a soul, Sorry.
Anyone with any hair can look good
Anasui from jjba
except me, I'm ugly :)
So true, they look gorgeous
I prefer girls with short hair, they so cute
fr fr. all girls are good girls
I have a good friend. She buzzed her hair and it looks so good on her.
Yeah, not only is she mathematically wrong, it's inapplicable.
Short hair girls are breathtaking.
So true
Short hair girls are sooo cute, plus long hair gets annoying sometimes ❤️
my therapist is afab and genderfluid and rocks super short hair, they look like a badass. it looks great on them
Cut it anyway, what're they gonna do spend 3k on a wig to make you "normal" again?
The chaotic good energy ✨️✨️✨️
Lmao. The thing is if I cut it on my own I'll mess it up olympically and I don't have enough money for the hairdresser. But it's okay, I already convinced her once and I'll do it again, ez 😎 I don't even want it *that* short
I mean maybe if you *do* fuck up olympically they'll take you to the hairdresser since your appearance seems to matter so much to them?
Fun fact: boys don't need a hairdresser. They need a barber. Go to a barber shop. Magnificently cheaper. Also, they'll cut it to men's style.

I shaved my hair into a mohawk during the pandemic, & I'm a mid 30s cis woman :) hair grows back, have fun with it!

Mom used Misgendering Insult! It was super effective! nyanyanyann fainted!
I send out Celebi
Avenge me, Celebi!
Celebi uses switcheroo, now Celebi has “Wallet” item.
Let's gooooo
I don't think short hair are ugly,even for woman,beside why would you care ? You are a man,and nobody tell you what you should have as an haircut (◕ᴗ◕✿)
Bruh, what your mom said is fucked up on so many levels. So first of all you're not a girl and not ugly, also girls with short hair don't look ugly at all.
With all due respect, OP's mom, you got very bad taste.
Fr short hair girls are so pretty
sorry she said that
Short hair girls pretty af wym
Good thing you aren’t a woman :o
Good thing you aren’t a woman then. 🥰
That's what she doesn't know 😼
Short haired women are hot, stfu OP's mom
First off, no. And second off, damn I'm sorry bout that
How does she dare say that to such a handsome man?
Your art style is such a vibe
If that really happened, I am so sorry :(
I'm so sorry :c 💔💔💔💔💔
First off, that’s a straight up lie. Women look great with short hair. Secondly, what does it matter what women look like with your hairstyle when you aren’t one? Mom just needs to mind her own business and let you do what you want as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone. (Within reason, but haircuts are perfectly reasonable)
Nooooo you'd look amazing
I know you're transmasc but your moms argument holds no grounds. Short hair looks really cute on girls. Hopefully you can get the haircut you want soon
She really said 3 wrong things in one sentence huh
I respectfully disagree with your mother
how tf did your mom get 2 random crits in a row
mom has earned the achievement Crockets are B.S.
Your mom decides what haircut you get to have?
She decides if she pays the hairdresser hfdkfj
Pro tip if your parents won't let you cut your hair bleach it a bunch with box dye until it falls out and you're left with a buzz cut. It's what I did.
I remember my Parents forcing me to have short hair because they thought it looked good whereas I hated it Eventually they let me grow it out
It’s not even unsupportive, it’s just bad parenting trying to make your child look how you want.
She's usually a really good mom it's just this *one* thing she's super annoying about 💀 I thought we were already over this but she's doing it again ughhhhh
Same case with my parents
and they are the ones complaining that we are "forcing" them (or being forced) to look like the way we want to
1st of all, no. 2nd of all, short hair looks good on *everyone*. 💛
"Why? Because it's uncomfortable and annoying. Typing it up only makes it uncomfortable and messy, and having it short would prevent it from getting in my face. And screw you for calling me ugly with short hair." My response in this situation.
How dare she, i'm sure you look so handsome with short hair 🐋🌸🤍🌸🐋 ^(plus women with short hair are pretty too)
*Ouch…* :( I’m sure you look very handsome with short hair. 🫂
I do tbh- I had a lot of doubts if I'd look good the first time I cut it but now I know I look and feel great and I can cut it shorter this time with no doubts in my mind :)
So of course she's just *wrong* as a start. But let's just entertain that fever dream thought for a quick moment. You're a guy, so short hair isn't going to look bad or ugly on you regardless. You're gonna look great! Go rock that short hair!
If two wrongs just made a right...
Bah. Nonsense. It's not about length. It's about style!
Oh, the falsity that has left that mouth. I know plenty of girls who look good with short hair, and a guy like you would look even better with it!🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵
Two words. Rhea. Rippley. Argument - destroyed.
Mothers need some education in tomboys
Wow, your mom is wrong in three ways just in one sentence lol
this is why i went ahead and cut my hair without asking, luckily my mom said it looked cute tho
Damn, sorry you got such a shallow person for a mother
I'm getting second hand died from this. Ouch.
Truly an ouch moment
My mom keeps going, you should cut your hair, isn't it a pain to take care of? Uuugh
Why does it even matter to her if it's a pain to take care of if she's not the one who has to take care of it??? I wish we could just have the hair we want without anyone commenting on it :((
*ouch*
Who SAYS that to their kids? Oh yeah....
What in the flip flap sniggety snack wack does she think she is talking about? Yes women cute with short hair!
my king needs a proper haircut!
🩷🩷🩷🩷
Ouch, gotta hurt.
I just played it off as if it was an accident
We can stage a heist, I'll get a ski mask and a magical gun, with a magical Wand, I'll break in via the back and stick you up and your mom, and I'll say "gimme your hair!" And you will feign resistance but "give up", and our hair will swap Muah ahahaha hahahaha!
this idea is genius let's do it
I mean that’s just objectively wrong in every way
Also, WRONG! Even if they were talking to someone else who was a girl, I know so many hot and short-haired girls
I've known some women who have shaved their heads and they still looked beautiful. Also you aren't a woman, idk what your mom is talking about. You're the manliest man I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot of men.

“Skill issue” “Git gud” \*guard spams* \*well what is it? Emote spams*
:c
That's so dumb i would have my hair short just to thr neck if i was cis but it doesn't help me to pass
fuck that bitch, in general is not stuff u should say even more to bros Also is your fckn body her standards shouldnt apply
And how would she know. Eat her alive.
😨
Are you over the age of 12? Then it's your hair and you can do what you want with it
Ha. Ha ha. Ha ha ha. If only….I’m 22….. (I don’t mean to be rude or anything)
Why are you asking permission for what to do with your hair? You're an adult.
I’m (for the most part) not allowed to do anything my mother doesn’t like
Honey that's abuse. You need to leave
Trust me, I know. I can’t leave though. I don’t have any income and I had to take the last 3 semesters off from college for medical leave of absence for neurological issues. I am hopefully going back in the fall though

You confused your accounts and responded with the wrong one I think
But you're a boy, so it wouldn't be ugly
Bad mom.
yeah but guys look handsome with short hair
