Be happy! You did this. You did it. Just like that, Elliot, you’re gonna change the world.
Hi! I’m an mtf girl and I’ve been searching around for good hairstyles to have, but I’m having a lot of trouble finding anything that wouldn’t be too suspicious to ask my hairdresser to do. She doesn’t know I’m trans and I’m unsure of how she’ll react if I told her. Do you have any advice or good hairstyles that would work in this situation?
Devon says:
Firstly, check out this post from our transfeminine resources!
Depending on how often you get your hair cut/styled, and how soon you want a more feminine hairstyle, you could try gauging how supportive she is the next time you see her. This would give you the opportunity to figure out if she is supportive while you get your “usual” hair cut/style, and then you can make the decision about whether to come out to her before the next time you get your hair cut/styled.
If she then seems unsupportive of trans folks, or you don’t want to wait so long for a new hairstyle, then you could try some of these things:
Go to a new hairdresser, who you know is supportive of trans folks
This website looks helpful (under “What Do You Need?” with the category “Personal Care & Services”)
Try searching elsewhere online for supportive businesses in your area
Ask LGBT+ friends of yours about their hairdressers. If you don’t have any LGBT+ friends, you could contact local LGBT+ organizations and ask them where they get their hair cut/styled
Ask on facebook! You might have accepting acquaintances who are into hairstyling and willing to help you out, that you don’t know about
Search for reference photos online, or using links from the first post that I linked
Try a search term like “feminine men hair” or “unisex men hair” on search engine like Google
Google image results for these search terms are all white folks, so you can add “feminine Black men hair” if you’re Black, for example
This will give you a photo of a man with the more feminine hair style, which your hairdresser may be more accepting of than a reference photo of a woman with the hair style that you want
Style/cut your own hair! Use tips from the first post that I linked
I hope this helps! Followers, reblog this post with more tips for anon.

Hello, friend. God, that’s always been lame, hasn’t it? Sorry I never came up with a better name for you. Then again, I don’t even have a name. Just a guy trying to play God without permission. This whole time, I thought changing the world was something you did, an act you performed, something you fought for. I don’t know if that’s true anymore. What if changing the world was just about being here, by showing up no matter how many times we get told we don’t belong, by staying true even when we’re shamed into being false, by believing in ourselves even when we’re told we’re too different? And if we all held on to that, if we refuse to budge and fall in line, if we stood our ground for long enough, just maybe… The world can’t help but change around us. Even though we’ll be gone, it’s like Mr. Robot said. We’ll always be a part of Elliot Alderson. And we’ll be the best part, because we’re the part that always showed up. We’re the part that stayed. We’re the part that changed him. And who wouldn’t be proud of that?
