Hey, that was me.

That wasn't really how the thread happened, but people were pretty determined to carry out the usual snowflake routine.

Someone did tell me to cut my hair off, I replied saying it was too drastic, especially since one of the pictures had my virgin hair in it for the most part - it's just like that, and I know at least 2 others with my hair like mine who've never touched bleach. The problem was more with doing my roots than damage, plus my hair is naturally resistant and easier to style when bleached. I've been dying my hair for 8 years so I know what fried hair feels like. People kept throwing a shit-fit whenever I pointed out anything like this and that's when the thread got bad.

People referring to me as male very early on and kept doing so after I corrected them, pointed out I was female.

It's also not true I didn't listen at all. I've since dyed my hair back my natural colour, bought a conditioning mask, getting my hair trimmed soon, ordered a wig and clip in ponytails to help thicken my own hair. I bought makeup for countouring too, but the problem is that I've been caking it on to hide shadow, so that problem should solve itself. I'm getting a petticoat and I'm looking into dresses that might suit my style better, maybe Otome or just general colourful street fashion. I still like those dresses and want to wear them even if I'm a crap lolita though.

I can't do much about my face except wait for hormones, and definitely can't fix my frame. I know parts of my appearance I can't help partly figured into the reaction and it's not really fair.

I appreciate the advice from those who really wanted to help, but there were more than just one or two rude individuals. It was a mistake on my part to go to /cgl/, but I was hoping I'd just get advice on dresses, which was what I was looking for. Being trans you can end up as everyone's doll and you get a lot of conflicting advice, so it can be very fatiguing.
