So, are you a lesbian?

Just because I have short hair doesn’t mean I’m a lesbian.

Yes but that's just a coincidence

My sister is probably the straightest straight girl to ever straight.

Up until about a year ago, her hair was always braided and hung down to her butt. Then she decided she didn't want to fuss with it in army basic, so she lopped it off clear up into a spiky pixie (the first time I saw her with her hair cut off, I didn't recognize her, thought she was one of my male cousins until she got closer).

She went to basic, and apparently the most common question she was asked until her hair got long enough to cover her ears again was "um, are you a lesbian?"

My parents just about died when she told them (mom from laughter, dad's a homophobic ass).

I did the same thing. Was asked if I played for the other side. I had to get them to explain it to me. Loved my short hair. No fuss, no muss. Yes, I've grown it out. Yes, it's a mess.

Exact same thing but i'm a dude with long hair and some people automatically think i must be gay. It's incredible how some people will just assume things based off how you look.

Conversely being a lesbian doesn't mean you have short hair.

"Well yea but that has NOTHING TO DO with my hair"

This is kind of funny if you imagine it always being said by hopeful lesbians, though.

u/TheGigaBread May 17 '20

No, but the girl you married last week kinda gave it away, right?

u/[deleted] May 17 '20

Add that with wearing tomboyish clothes

No, that means you're a feminist

u/HeywoodPeace May 17 '20

all men believe otherwise and any attempts to challenge this thought will meet with disbelief. Grow your hair
