My spouse is having a conniption fit bc I let my daughter get her hair cut before school. She cut it short in May and wanted a trim. Now I’m suddenly the worst parent alive for allowing it. Haven’t the experts agreed that hair isn’t the battle to pick with ROGD? It grows back.

And it also doesn’t mean anything to have short hair. I had very short hair (even shaved my head for 2 years) for at least 20 out of the 42 years I’m alive. I’ve always known I was a woman. I never liked gender stereotyping or the patriarchy, that’s why I’m a feminist.

I know. I agree. But through the lens of a trans ID, everything has a different, more dangerous subtext.

For the kid, the haircut may signify "this means I'm trans." But the last thing parents need to do is give it that same (false) significance.
