did I mention the hair thing?

I did not, it's a major annoyance of the butch "myths" for me because I found I do like to alternately grow out my locks to a shaggy mess now and again.

See... now I feel like I have to add that "not long though" statement due to the ingrained stereotype. I know better but admittedly still have those inner cringes on some issues... the twinge of "I need to qualify that statement"... yuck.

Its those irritating inner cringes and examination of them that partially inspired this thread. They don't stop me from proudly being who ever the hell I wanna be but they do make me go "hey, why'd I flinch there?".
