Okay, so I've been genderfluid and pansexual for most of my life, yet I've just come out to my family in late October. I've always wanted to cut my hair short... Anyways, I'm getting ahead of myself, let's get back on track. My family has always said that if I'm not straight or whatever, they're one hundred percent okay with it and will support me, but I'm having doubts about that. They've been talking a LOT lately about how people go through phases. Trust me, this is not a phase. I've been this way for as long as I can remember. So, not too long ago, I found some pictures of exactly the haircut I want. Just a short boy cut. I showed my stepmom (I don't live with my birth mom) the picture and she said she didn't like it, but she didn't technically say yes or no. About a month later I showed my dad and he flat out said no. I cried a lot. Not in front of anyone. That shows weakness. I know it seems kinda dumb to be this torn apart over a haircut, but it's so much more. Them saying no to the haircut is like them saying no to me wanting to be a guy. And saying no to that is them not accepting me. It's just so hard. Being gender confused is so hard...My stepmom and I are planning on getting our hair done in January, but just a trim. I haven't said it yet, but I want to tell them that I won't even go to the hair salon unless I can get MY hair cut the way I want it. It is my hair after all. It's my sexuality. It's my life. Im not dumb. I know I'm making the right choices for ME. There's only two people in the world holding me back from being who I am. Those two people are my parents.

I wish I could help you❤️I'm not gender confused, but I know what it's like to be really uncertain, and it bothers me a lot. I'm here for you❤️❤️

ok this is a test first because pc isn't letting me send in the comment I want.

great. pc hates me.

I hope you can get what you want.

if they ask why you want it so short maybe say that there's a rumor about head lice going around the school (head lice is more common for people with longer hair) or maybe day it's easier for you to manage and it won't be in your face all the time

best of luck

ok. that took forever to say but. yeah.
