it's weird. when I initially stopped shaving and cut my hair off I was pressured about both. I was explicitly told to go back to shaving and long hair. It sucked, but eventually I got over it and enjoyed it and was living my best life. And now, all the sudden, without anyone actually saying anything, I am feeling that pressure again. I am genuinely considering both, even though I don't want either.

#I have one? friend who I see semi-regularly who also has short hair and doesn't shave #literally everyone else I am friends with/know/everyone in my family/etc does #I'm going to six flags with friends this weekend and they all talked about spending hours in the shower doing full body shaves #every single woman I work with shaves and has at shortest a bob #I just want to feel not out of place #I don't like feeling like I stick out like a sore thumb #in pictures of me with other people it's almost jarring how different I look from everyone else #don't look like any of the women and have too much tit to look like a man #and no one I mention it to seems to get it. I've tried talking about it with my sister #and she's like 'I feel the same way :( cause I like a different kind of fashion and I'm not small and skinny enough'#and I don't want to downplay that or say that isn't happening and doesn't suck #but she has hair to her ass!!! she wears makeup! she shaves regularly!! she likes shopping and dresses and being pretty!!#she is gorgeous! and it's so obvious and like yeah maybe she feels out of place but visually she is not #I very very much am. I exclusively wear like 80% men's clothes at this point #I'm not sure I know anyone else who does that???? and it's very obvious that's what I'm wearing!!!!!#I can get along with other people and have similar interests and stuff #but I still feel out of place cause I don't visually fit in and it sucks
