I'm getting a haircut soon. I've asked for a deliberately femine one, and I can get away with it by saying it's Japanese.

Yay, so you're keeping your hair long or is it a feminine short one?

It's not much shorter than it is now. I guess mine is pretty neutral because of how much of a mess it is :p

I didn't like the constant reference to "changing genders", and while I understand calling out death threats against Leelah's parents, it came across like the author was also calling out every condemnation of them ever.

Huh. I'm wanting to marry a British person...

I have no intention of getting married. I would like to date more than one person, and I can't marry only one of them. The chances of me getting one are pretty slim though…

I'd prefer Princess Charming. Still, low hopes in that area.

Alright then. I'm still sure someone will like you and value for who you are. When I was your age (17? 18?), I kind of felt similar, and was still proven wrong in the end.

Nobody's a saint, and everyone's a sinner. You'll be pretty to someone, and hate by others. If you're hard on yourself before you try, then you'll never know, never experience, and never learn. Don't sabotage yourself before you even get started.
LOVEWHOYOUARE~

I'm not so sure, I've got pretty low self esteem. If school's anything to go on, life's gonna suck.

Only if you think it is, because then you run the risk of making a self-fulfilling prophecy. Life beyond school is vastly different, and everyone your age is self-conscious and not as confident as they would like to be and as they think everyone else is. If you think most people have figured out life at that point, you're wrong, most have no idea how their future is supposed to look like either :hug:

Why would you think that? Maybe ask for some advice in a forum, or watch some make-up videos on Youtube?

You're young yet - once out of school, things change a lot.

I doubt it, don't stress of what you don't expect - you can take charge of certain parts of your life, focus on those.
