Title: new haircut, and passing
Post by: Lewis on August 06, 2010, 01:07:38 PM
So now I'm out at work and everywhere else, I treated myself to a brand new haircut, and it's REALLY short. Up until now I've resisted getting it too short because I don't want to be read as a butch lesbian, but this time I figured that if it doesn't work it'll grow back to where it was in a month, so I went for it.

And it's made a HUGE difference to passing, I'm now being read as male nearly 100% (until I speak). Just awesome.

Congrats!  I was just thinking of getting a new haircut that would help me to pass.  Good to hear yours is working for you.

I also got a new haircut, ultrashort, and while I'm not even close to passing, I feel much better.
