I hate this. I have short hair, it’s easier to maintained and I don’t have to do much to it, I dress fairly masculine or not very feminine, but I’ve been asked by my girlfriend ex friend if I was trans a few times because of my appearance.

I detest how people will just automatically assume that if you don’t conform to your sex means you must be something completely different.

No, I am not trans because I have short hair and dress more masculine than most women. I have short hair because it easier and I’m comfortable with it.

I love my short hair, it's so weird now that butch lesbians are now considered to be trans men just because of short hair and having more masculine styles = being a man. We've come full circle with stereotypes lol

We have. Since they’ve made them self known more to the world they’ve somehow managed to redefined what men and women should look like.

I have short hair, a pixie cut. For me personally, I style it feminine, I think it looks feminine on me, and I generally dress pretty feminine.

I hate this idea that short hair is associated with masculinity. I think a short haircut looks really pretty on me. That's not to say that it's not GNC for others. But it doesn't make me GNC.

Now there's a whole other question of the merits of appearing feminine, but honestly, it's just what I prefer and I find dresses much more comfortable than pants anyway.
