Haircuts

Of course there are many (cis-)guys with long hair, but for me having short hair is letting me pass better as male. However, it shouldn't be too short - like the military cut (or whatever it's called), because women have a different hairline then men. So the totaly short cut could look more feminine than long hair. Although I have a rather "neutral" hairline I don't like my hair too short.
But today I was at the hairdresser's and my hair is now the shortest it has ever been (except for my birth obviously) and I really like the new cut.
Of course this cut doesn't let my face look less feminine, but still makes me feel more comfortable. I've always liked my hair better short, and I never had that long hair.

And I think I'm not the only trans* guy that finds a masculine haicut important. I don't want to say you have to have short hair to be more male, because you are as male as you feel, it's just that I like my hair as short as it is now.

I find it kinda interesting how little kids define gender by haircuts. My mum works as a kindergarten teacher and I have rather short hair for over a year now. And most of the kids thought (and still think) I was a guy - although I wore "girly" clothes.
Today was also the first day I was in kindergarten with my mum since I realised I was trans* and a kid again thought I was a boy and for the first I almost said: "Yes, I'm a guy." but unfortunately most of the other kids only know me as female as well as the other kindergarten teachers. But I still like being called a guy.
