    I'm glad you had the courage to cut your hair like that. ^^ I've been wanting to cut mine for months now, to anime boy like style hair short. And this month I will do it. I want to look more like a boy, it makes me feel free and not as heavy and not as numb to the world and myself. I had gotten a short boy wig so I could see it, and I think it's good. So I hope you're comfortable with yourself now, and I wish you luck on your life. :slight_smile:

    Thanks for your support everyone! So my mom is here and every sence she got here I have been acting more feminine.... Is this just because its my nom? I told her how I felt and she is OK with it but she keeps saying she is proud of the woman I have become.... That I am a strong woman.... I wish this didn't bother me but its making me second guess myself...she has admired my boyish childhood and everything... So why am I acting so feminine?

    Dude! You absolutely look like a dude! Great style choice.
    You say you're acting more feminine, is it just you feel more free to act like yourself or is it something else?

    I know that for me, living with my parents for the time being is pretty tough for my personal identity. My parents project an image onto me and it's really tough to shake! It's mostly only something my parents can do because of the position they have in my life lol. But man is it annoying haha.

    Does your mom have any trans 101? It sounds like she's trying to be supportive in the way she knows how. Which is amazing. Some people just simply aren't familiar with how to address a trans person so they do it in the best way they know to do.
