I made an appointment with the hairdresser I had been seeing for years. When I sat down in the chair, I asked if I could have a more neutral style, and for it to be short. I\u2019m pretty sure the word \u2018neutral\u2019 was completely lost on the stylist since what I ended up with by the time the appointment was over, what I received was anything but. It wasn\u2019t as short as I\u2019d hoped, and I looked a bit too much like a middle-aged mom. Despite all that, having it short was one of the best feelings. As soon as I left the salon, I took a couple of selfies: the smile on my face beaming from ear to ear.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6ea1b4b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6ea1b4b\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c9dacc1\" data-id=\"c9dacc1\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e566532 elementor-headline--style-highlight elementor-widget elementor-widget-animated-headline\" data-id=\"e566532\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;marker&quot;:&quot;double&quot;,&quot;highlighted_text&quot;:&quot;Finally, the dysphoria was gone.&quot;,&quot;headline_style&quot;:&quot;highlight&quot;,&quot;loop&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;highlight_animation_duration&quot;:1200,&quot;highlight_iteration_delay&quot;:8000}\" data-widget_type=\"animated-headline.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-headline\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-headline-dynamic-wrapper elementor-headline-text-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-headline-dynamic-text elementor-headline-text-active\">Finally, the dysphoria was gone.<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-eb3aa76 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"eb3aa76\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f8ecaf9\" data-id=\"f8ecaf9\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4fd1ac2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"4fd1ac2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"725\" src=\"https:\/\/itgetsbettercanada.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/2-819x1024.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-14497\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/itgetsbettercanada.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/2-819x1024.png 819w, https:\/\/itgetsbettercanada.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/2-240x300.png 240w, https:\/\/itgetsbettercanada.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/2-768x960.png 768w, https:\/\/itgetsbettercanada.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/2-10x12.png 10w, https:\/\/itgetsbettercanada.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/2.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5bae3cc\" data-id=\"5bae3cc\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-beaf904 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"beaf904\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I know now that my experience was pretty common. Most people like me get haircuts like that, whether from fear of looking too masculine, not having the right language, or the stylist misinterpreting the situation entirely. About a year later, I got another haircut from an affirming salon a few cities away, and let me tell you it was SO much better. If you\u2019re looking for a gender-affirming trans-masc haircut that doesn\u2019t suck, try to find a place that caters for all genders, bring reference photos, and don\u2019t be afraid to advocate for the cut that you really want. And if cost is a barrier, I got a haircut kit for about $20 from London Drugs that came with two clippers, clipper combs, and a pair of scissors. You can look up tutorials online and if you can, get a friend to help you with the back! At the end of the day, it does grow back and you can fix it if it\u2019s not what you want. Remember that you deserve a haircut that represents you and that you feel good in!<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-67065d3 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"67065d3\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e205b5a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e205b5a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Binding: Second Try<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-63768f4 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"63768f4\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-05956e5\" data-id=\"05956e5\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4559292 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4559292\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whenever I saw videos of trans people trying on a binder for the first time, there was always this swell of emotion, sometimes tears\u2014euphoria palpable through my phone screen.

Finding affirming friends and affirming spaces can also be really difficult if you\u2019re new. But there is hope! Look up resources for LGBTQ+ people in your area. For those of you in BC, Qmunity has support groups for trans people, bisexual people, and more. I wouldn\u2019t be surprised to find that other provinces\/territories have similar programs. There are also discord servers for trans people that you can join. When I was still figuring myself out, I joined a trans discord server and was able to try out my new name with others over voice chat. Just remember that there are tons of people like you, and we\u2019ve all been in your shoes before. Finding people who love you for who you are can be difficult sometimes, but trust that you will find your people.
