*Hello Tia. Thank you so much for posting. I'm glad you have fulfilled your dream of becoming a woman. There is a place for all of us here. *We are all unique. *I agree with Tina. People have been very tolerant of Tina and myself. Like she said I don't know how many approve or disapprove of lesbians but those who disapprove have not been discourteous. Best of luck in your new life as a woman Tia.
Kathy and I haven't been given much "flack" about our lesbian "marriage" Tia. I'm sure many people here don't like it and maybe don't like us, I don't know, but they haven't given us any grief about it, -(except for one woman who apparently doesn't write on the boards these days. She hasn't written for a while.)-
People have given me flack about other things Tia, I get in my share of disputes on the boards,-(and I admit I am partially to blame for the arguments, not that I mind the occasional internet scuffle, tee-hee!)- but in regards to Kathy and my lesbian relationship, people have been pretty cool about it.
Take care girl.
Girl Tia

Congrats to Uzma on her growing her hair as long as it goes. I'm more than halfway down my back now, aiming for hip length or at least longer than I now have it. Being of Chinese heritage my hair is straight and black, maybe medium thickness. How thick is your hair Uzma? What color is it?
To KathyAnn and tina m, congrats on your openess about your lesbian relationship. I'm a formerly gay man who, thanks to my sexual reassignment surgery, is now a transexual. So I live as a hetrosexual woman living with my man. I am now what I have wanted to be since I was a small child.
I look, dress and act like a woman too, because I am one. Legally too. I'm unable to have children but other than that I'm a woman. Looking at me you would never guess I was once a man. So I'm a femme too tina. Just in a different way.
It's nice to know there are other members of the Gay/Lesbian?Bisexual/Transgender community who post.
Thanks.
Have you gotten any flack KathyAnn or Tina about your relationship on these hair boards?

*Thanks Jasmine. You are an interesting person in your own right. I read on the Chillin board how you and Brent E are going to meet in person in Chicago. How exciting that will be for you Jasmine! I have heard of people chatting on the computer and then meeting up with each other but I've never actually known anyone who has done that. I'm sure it will be ok. Brent seems like an awfully nice fella *(smart too and a good writer ). *Best of luck Jasmine.

I think it's great that people wear their hair how they want regardless of what others think because I believe people usually know what hair length or style flatters themselves best.
If you feel comfortable with your hair, just as with your clothes,jewelry, makeup etc. I believe you feel confident and better about yourself.
I think it's sexy that you are growing your hair REALLY long Uzi!. It wouldn't bother me at all if Kath decided to grow her hair longer. It is nice to run your fingers through beautiful long hair!
Maybe you are right Kuroneko. Or maybe you aren't right. Maybe the couple wear similar hairstyles because they both like those styles or maybe they are just having fun. I'm sure there are different reasons for it.

That seems a little scary to me, couples with the same hair. . . like losing one's individuality. . . But I don't like the idea of people in love becoming thought of like one unit rather than two individuals, anyway, the way a lot of people seem to. I think it's good for people in love to be complements of one another, but not to the point they amalgamate into halves of one whole person. If a person loses him or herself in the relationship, what happens if the relationship breaks up? Then you're left feeling like you're not a whole person on your own, which isn't a positive thing. I wonder if that's why so many people just rush into a new relationship as soon as the old one is over, because they just don't know how to feel whole and fulfilled alone? *laughs* But now I'm getting way OT and over-analyzing, too. *pokes self to make self stop*

*Your hair really is growing Uzma. That's nice. *I've been thinking of growing my hair out longer too. That may seem strange to some who know us because I wear the pants, literally and figurativelly in our relationship. Tina's the "femme", the"wife" in our relationship. But Tina is just so darling, cute and feminine in her short crop, whereas I believe I look pretty good with hair that is shoulder length, maybe even longer. *I haven't had really long hair for years. I would like to grow it out again at least as long as your is, maybe even mid back. I dress feminine when I am at work, I am in sales and wear a pantsuit or a dress, what-have-you, but when I'm not at work I just wear a pair of jeans and a work shirt and don't bother with any makeup . *I like wearing men's clothes too. *I would like to grow my hair long and just tie it back in a long ponytail, and then wear a pair of jeans and a work shirt with some boots and a leather jacket. That's a casual look and feels free and easy to me.
Hi Uzi! No Uzma, I have very short hair as you know and Kathy has a nearly shoulder length bob cut. I'm a blonde and she's a brunette. I'm short and she's fairly tall. So we don't look much alike in any way really.
Wow your hair is growing Uzma! Your hair sounds nice. Love ya! Chat with you later Uzi.

My hair is past the shoulders - almost bra-strap length . I have also found a way to constuctively use my intense interest in hair, by commencing trichology training.
When I was 20 years old, I had a mohican, with my head completely shaved except for a 3 inch long & wide strip from forehead to nape.
At the point I decided to grow my hair, I had above ear length hair cut into spiky/feathery long layers (which are still intact).
One phenomena I've noticed recently in London is the number of couples (of any & all persuasions) who have the same hairstyle. It's like 2 people reflecting each other as part of mutual love....or almost merging into one.
Tina and KathyAnn...do you both have the same or similar hairstyles?

Past the shoulders is really, really long, at least to me :-P . If my hair ever gets that long it's out of total laziness, and I always get angry with myself if I neglect it so long it gets that bad off. I don't think I could possibly let it go that long on purpose!

*Duke I live with Tina so I should know. *It seems to me that Tina's hair is a little longer than one-half inch, not much longer than that but a little longer at least on top and in front. It might be one-half inch right after she gets it cut.* It's shingled and tapered like short pixies are. *Like Tina said, her hair is like Alyssa's or Jamie Lee's pixie. It is about as long as Alyssa Milano's hair right before she cuts it. After the cut it is about like Jamie Lee is now wearing her hair which is to me more or less a crewcut or an ultra-short pixie. She her hair cut usually every 5 weeks or so. As far as Uzma's hair, didn't Uzma say she was growing her hair out from a short cut that she had a couple of years back. I think I read that on one of these boards. I believe Uzma said her hair is now past her shoulders but not real long yet. * Correct me if I'm wrong Uzma.
I do comb it Duke. I wear my hair about the length of Jamie Lee Curtis or Alyissa Milano, a very short pixie. I have it styled. I comb it down in front, it is tapered and cut short above the ears and short in back. It isn't a buzzcut. A buzzcut is close to the head maybe a quarter of an inch long.It is about half an inch long, maybe a little longer. I have it trimmed every few weeks so it always stays about the same length more or less.

A "pixie" one half-inch long? At its longest length? Tina - that sounds more like a buzzcut to me. Or a brush cut, butch cut, what you will. A pixie is definitely short, but long enough to comb, short hair cut feathery. Am I correct?
I'm like you Jasmine, my hair is about as short as it gets these days, a pixie one-half an inch long.
Uzma, how long is your hair now? I once had hair past my waist. Are you getting anywhere near that? What are you doing with your long hair Uzma in terms of styling it? Do you ever wear it up or braid it or put it in rollers for some curl? I know you said you have thick, straight hair. When I had long hair my hair was also very straight-(blonde hair in my case, not real thick, I had nice hair though)-. I did sometimes wear it up, but usually just wore it straight down my back. I never curled it. Sometimes I put it in a ponytail but often just wore it straight down my back past my rump. It was one length initially then I got bangs and still wore it long then I got it cut in a bob until I finally went very short with the pixie. I loved long hair but I love short hair too.
I'm curious, how long is your hair Uzi?
