Zaza, idk how to even start this. My best friend of seven years comes from a really conservative family where women are supposed to do womens work and dress like women. Where as I come from a very open minded family where I am openly pan and gender fluid. My best friend is also pan, and polyamorous, but hides who she is from her family. The other day I shaved my dad shaved my head for me because I wanted to try it. My bfs mom now thinks there is something wrong with me and I am a bad
influence on her daughter, also because she knows I am getting a tattoo, which my best f already has one, and her mom doesn't know. So when I went over to her house her mom was eyeing me and giving me the stink eye the whole time. I have known this woman for SEVEN years and she is treating me like the devil because I have a female body and I shaved my head. I do not feel safe at her house anymore, but I do not want my friend to feel bad about it. Plus the woman in my neighborhood have been treating me similarly, and they have known me longer. There are a couple people that are fine with it, but it is just hair. I really did not expect to be treated so rude because of HAIR. So now I am concerned about asking for people to use my correct pronouns. The mom of the girl I babysit looked at me like I was evil or endangering her daughter, Idk what to do and am just frustrated. Sorry for the essay. ️️ I love your blog, it has helped me alot️️
thanks for the compliment Hannah, i’m glad i’ve been able to help you in the past. i’m sorry to hear tht you’re being judged by ppl, and shown their awful true natures. those conservative ppl can get really ugly when you step outside of what they deem acceptable.
so keep in mind that there’s nothing you can do to stop ppl from making assumptions, and forming opinions. all you can do, is be true to yourself. if you can’t accept the consequences that come with tht, then you can choose to bend to their wishes, but that certainly won’t make you feel any better. much better to live an authentic life (as long as ur safe). take care of you turtledove.
