Hello,
I am a male who wears his hair in a womans below the chin bob hairstyle. The reason I wear it that way is because I wear two hearing aids and people make fun of me if they see it. Or, they act in a condescending manner around me after they see them. I asked my hair cutting lady about any styles that would cover them up and she came up with this style. I like it and people seem to treat me a little better. But, now they are getting on me because I now wear my hair in a bob. I explained to my family members why I do it but they want me to get a business mans haircut. This would show the whole world my aids which is why I grew my hair out. I keep it clean, trimmed, and styled. Actually, it isn't a womans style, it's just that women wear this style more than guys do. I wish people would leave other people alone about their hair. I am doing it for a reason but it doesn't seem to matter to most people.
sounds as though you have found a good practical solution to a problem, but have for the moment exchanged one form of discrimination for another.
I guess that if you wait a little until most of the people who know you get used to your hairstyle, much of the problem will go away, but you will have to be patient and not let yourself be annoyed by people desperate to make you conform to what they see as 'normality'.
