Hey! Britneyās about to get deep so buckle in yāall.
So anyway, as anyone who saw my most recent selfie ( you can find it in #thisismyselfietag) would know, I finally cut my hair! Iād been wanting to do it for a while, trust me, ask any of my friends about this one, and I came to the realisation the other day that the only reason I hadnāt done it earlier was because of what I thought other people would think of me. Like I was super worried that people would see me differently from who I was (and still am) with my long hair, because to be real, my personality hasnāt changed in the days after cutting my hair nor have I become a different person. I was so worried that I wouldnāt fit societyās ideals of āfemininityā because I was always told growing up that girls had long hair and if I wore something a certain way of did something different that I looked like a boy. I mean the day I came home with my new hair my mum immediately told me that I looked like a boy but like what does that even mean? Do I now look like societyās ideals for āmasculinityā? the answer to that is well, no but do I look stereotypically āfeminineā now? Also, no and that doesnāt matter. Coming to terms with my gender is a journey and itās not an easy one at that, Iām not too sure where I sit on the spectrum at the moment and for now non-binary is where Iām at, Iām also trying out they/them pronouns to see how they sit with me because for the past 18 years Iāve had she/her and they never really sat right with me. Iāve started doing things for me now to make me feel more comfortable with who I am, it started slowly, like no longer wearing dresses because they made me uncomfortable, (guys real talk, I used to wear dresses and heels at least once a week because I thought thatās what people wanted from me and it was so uncomfortable??) it then went to embracing she/they pronouns to slowly sink into it before ācommittingā to they/them and I finally did the one thing that I wanted to do so much to help me feel more like me, and thatās cutting my hair. Itās liberating really, like I finally did something for me without worrying about what anyone else would think. This oneās for me and becoming un-apologetically me. So, Hello, Iām Britney, Iām 18, Iām a gay, non-binary human who uses they/them pronouns and I finally cut my hair.
Ā Also, side note, Tayln ( @tallykat3,)if you somehow end up seeing this, I just wanted to say thankyou, I read a lot of the advice you give people and a lot of it helped me work all this out so thankyou!.
