Title: Help With Haircut!

I am getting my haircut (like any time now) when my mom gets home. She is aware that I want a guy's haircut and that I want it very short. I am genderqueer (Which, in my case, means on some days I'm a girl, some days a guy, some between, some I don't even know, but like 90% of the time it's a guy) and I would like to pass, but it's not the only goal. I want to get a haircut that looks good on me, and at least will leave people questioning what gender I am (because that gives me a chance to say I'm a guy to people that wouldn't really get it, or people that I won't see often, but also lets me explain to people that I think can handle knowing I'm genderqueer).
All that said, I'm attaching a picture of my most recent haircut (I want it shorter than that - also I was a girl that day and on the way to pridefest, just to explain the makeup), my current one, and the haircut I've been looking at, but am not sure of. Please let me know if you think that it will look good, or if you have any other haircuts you think I should try (attach a picture please, I'm bad at explaining and I'd like to be able to show the woman cutting my hair the picture)

Maybe have an undercut style like this guy in the first pic
http://topmenhairstyles.com/mens-hairstyles-slithinkback-undercut-2014/
Or like the guy in pic number 4, most guys have it but also some girls, so you can change how you style it depending on what gender you feel like.

If you keep scrolling there are some pics of men that have a longer style of hairstyle to give you some ideas, which i think will suit you.
I'm not sure if that haircut you showed would suit you as you have a roundish face.

I'm getting a Page not found error on the first link. As for the others, I have the FTM's Complete Illustrated Guide bookmarked for reading, but in some cases, it doesn't quite apply to me because I'm looking to make them question, whilst that page is mostly all about making sure they don't, mainly because that's when people's brains naturally look for things like breasts and such. However, I didn't quite get to the hair section before. This is a picture taken directly from the hair part of that (one of the things that will work well). If I tell the woman who does my hair (I hate that I haven't learned her name, but she's only cut my hair twice, so I'll learn it soon enough) that I'd like just a little shorter than this...

...do you think that will look okay? I really hate having longer hair, even now when it's not that long at all it feels like a lion's mane to me, so I'd like to keep it shorter if possible, and when I did I was told that it looked good (and had two people question my gender - ;D ) so I think I can do okay, I just don't want to go too short and lose the effect.

I think that would look good on you, make sure you ask the hairdressers opinion just in case when you get there :)

I had to go before you sent that through, so I didn't get a chance to tell you that I ended up getting a fade-style cut (as per recommendation of the woman cutting my hair) that I found. It's really short on the sides and back, and longer on top so I can gel it to point slightly up. I feel like it makes me look somewhere in-between, maybe even slightly more male than female, which I like. I really like how it came out and I wanted to thank you because I got the idea of the fade from the site with the undercut that you gave me the link to.
Here's the reference she used:

And here's a couple pictures of how it came out:

She didn't do a great job with the hairspray, I think it'll look better on it's own or with just gel and no hairspray, but all in all I love it and I'm very happy with everything about it except the coldness of my head.
