My advice is to not take things for granted and be grateful for the things you have.

I love "Almost Cut My Hair" by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young as a Trans Gal

[This is mostly just me gushing over how I relate to a song]

I love this song so much. To my understanding, it's about the dilemma of hippies choosing whether or not to cut their hair. The singer discusses almost cutting his, but choosing not to, as a symbol ("I feel like letting my Freak Flag Fly"), because he feels he does "owe it to someone." This is such a beautiful, relatable song as a trans girl. Despite not directly relating to trans issues, it gets at the core of them (because the trans experience is ultimately a human experience.) It is about self-expression, and it is about what it means to express oneself in conflict with social norms, expectations, and even institutions. The entire song is about using your appearance to defy norms and signal resistance. Not only does it get at the feelings of self determination bound up in the matter (e.g., "I'm not giving in an inch to fear, cause I promised myself this year!"), but the social responsibility of visibility. Now I am not claiming that every trans person maintains a responsibility to be fully open and visible; this is not reasonable considering the weights and pressures we face. Yet, we have an obligation to others, to help them, to lift them up, to improve what we can. I am going to an event tomorrow; I will likely be the most visible trans person attending. Are all the trans people who would like to be in my position not owed hope? Are they not owed visibility? Are they not owed proof of their own autonomy? And even if I am not the one who caused these issues, does not every human have a responsibility to put in the work to push against them when possible? Am I, a woman guided by anarchist and communist aspirations, not tethered to this communal responsibility? It is not some grand, revolutionary resistance to be visible, but it is necessary. These contemplations, in our current society, seem core to any socially conscious trans person. And this is what I think when I hear Crosby sing that he did not cut his hair.
