    I've wanted my hair cut short for ages. I feel like it would be the first step in my transition. I'm away with cadets on Monday for a week and I really wanted my haircut before then but now I'm stuck because all the hairdressers are closed on a Sunday and Monday and they will all be booked up today. I feel stupid for crying over something as simple as having long hair, especially as I rarely cry, but this just means so much to me. My parents aren't against me transitioning, but are wary because a lot of people with aspergers experience gender dysphoria and they are scared that I'll not be happy with my decision. They are all for me cutting my hair, it can grow back, but they told me sorting out my aspergers is first priority. I get why , but I really don't think I can go on living as a girl.

    There is no need to feel stupid as the haircut held such significance to you. I'm sorry you couldn't get it done, but you will soon.

    is there an opening for tuesday or wednesday? since you're in cadets you know that sometimes you have a pause before you make the next step or movement. patience is difficult to acquire but so useful in these long journeys that we are on. im sure you'll look quite sharp son.

    I live on a small island and we're traveling away from our island. There's no way possible.

    ok so you'll have to get it done when you get back. or if your're on a short halliday maybe you could find a barber shop who takes walk in? just keep your eyes open for opportunities, and get your parents to keep watch too. sometimes things just happen when we need it to. have fun on your trip.:thumbsup:

    they might. of course they could say they dont cut for females but they wouldnt know you're a guy so.....

    but if you dont ask the answer is always "no" just be ready to have to ask several barbours.
