Oddly enough, I played around with my hair color a lot more when I was trying to live as my birth gender. I've since been doing a lot of research on what it takes to pass as a man and, mostly through my own observation, I've noticed that the people that are normally viewed as those who dye their hair are women. That's not to say that men don't dye their hair, because they certainly do, but I get the sense that this sort of thing - in general society, at least - is subconsciously viewed as a somewhat feminine thing. Because of that, even though I'm not terribly fond of my natural hair color, I've grown it out and have no plans on resuming my dyeing days. Of course, my taste in mens' fashion is very old-fashioned, and certainly no men dyed their hair back then, so that may contribute to it as well.

That being said, I've always wanted the bright red hair of my mother and all my brothers. I was the only one of us that got stuck with boring dark brown.

That's very interesting that you like vintage style clothing? I like the early 1900s clothing and military hair styles. What time period are you interested in? Where are you from?

I'm mostly fond of late 1800's style, some early 1900's. Luckily men's fashion doesn't age as fast as women's, so most of what they wore back then is still acceptable nowadays to a point. Waistcoats are my secret weapon for hiding what my binder can't flatten enough. I am slightly into Steampunk, but not as flashy, not so many gadgets. Military hairstyles are nice, but I'm more fond of the classic side-part, your basic Madmen hair style.

I grew up in Florida, but I really don't fit in down here. I currently have plans to move up to Vermont in the next few years.

The undercut from the early 1900s that was really short on the non shaved side and slicked down flat was what I like the most. All my clothes are military style, and cargo shorts and pants. I love zippers, pockets, epaulettes, buttons.

Do you like any militaria?

I do have a small interest in it, yes. I adore military uniforms from countries around the world, particularly older ones. I do rather like that particular aesthetic. I wouldn't call myself a collector or an enthusiast at all, but it is on my long list of interests.
