I have pretty long hair now, and I'm getting sick of it. I'd like to get it cut super short, as I've wanted it for some time. I mean really short, like a cut that would typically be considered "male". I think that I'd look good like that, as does my best friend (and she knows style!)
My parents say that I can get my hair cut however I want to (I'm 17), but they are always saying that girls shouldn't have short hair and my dad has gone so far as to say that I'd "make people think that I'm gay, and I'd look like the man in the relationship, and who wants that?" I think that's homophobic and completely stupid, and I respectfully told him as much.
My problem is not whether to get my hair cut or not, but when. Should I get it cut before or after I come out to them? I would like to tell them fairly soon and the appointment is stuck at 5 weeks from now. But I don't want to scare them by coming out while looking really butch. I am pretty much the stereotype butch, but it's not who I am.
