(Also, I worry that referring to her as “Poor Aggy” for being labeled a lesbian could be construed as offensive.)

I’ve had short hair for ages and I never legitimately get mistaken for a lesbian. More importantly though, I would never be offended if I were.

If someone is stupid enough to make a judgment about who I screw based on my hair cut, I simply don’t value their opinion. Sadly, these sort of assessments are usually coming from a homophobic perspective. So as much as I dismiss them, the people making them are still toxic.

I agree 100%! I just really don’t like the way hair feels on my neck and back. I’ve been growing it out because so many people like it but given my choice, I’d be in a funky bob for the rest of my life. AND I have a bf! Deal with it, world!
