body image, ethnic, medical mention
A minor minor body image thing;
My hair reflects my ancestry, and my mother used to go on about the curls in my hair (especially after she finished chemo), and as such, when my hair is between “regulation length” and “grew out for months” is messy and I have real mixed feelings about it.
Meanwhile I see all these photos of trans friends whose hair is about as tangly messy as mine, yet they don’t seem bothered by this at all.
Y’all make me proud of you, kids.
