Xenophilius Tyne: From Long Locks to Liking Their Looks

"When I was younger I had very long hair. As someone who is female-to-male transgender, there's a lot of pressure to want to pass, or need to pass, so cutting my hair really short has helped with that. I feel like I present more masculine and also it’s a lot easier to take care of." ~Phil Tyne

Once upon a time…

There lived a mop of blonde hair. He was very long and didn’t ever really feel okay how he was. After trying lots of shorter styles and gradually getting shorter and shorter, he finally became comfortable with just a bit of fringe and shaved on the sides. And he was happy.

The end.
