Hi guys, I have always kind of resisted putting effort into my appearance because I don't really want to be perceived as feminine (not sure why) but I have decided that I'd like to change that, I still don't want to look super feminine though. Do any of you have any tips for gender-neutral clothes and hair and stuff. I do identify as female (I think) and don't want to be too masculine. The trouble is, my hair is shoulder length and my mom won't let me get it cut much shorter and I have a hard time convincing her to let me get the clothes I like (so I gave up years ago. She does not want me to "look like a boy or a lesbo". How do I get around that?
Jeans, t-shirt? Maybe point out a tv character whose style you'd like to emulate? As for the hair, you could stick some chewing gum in it and then have to get it cut. But really, doesn't she know it will grow back? Is it long enough to donate to one of those charities that make wigs for cancer victims?
You might have a look here: http://emptyclosets.com/forum/gende...ure-what-do-about-androgynous-identity.html#2 What about ponytails? You might try straight bangs... and a not layered cut, giving kind of a rectangle frame... You might try baggy or unisex trousers, and sweaters one or two sizes bigger... (*hug*)
