Personal message
I hide my face from photos. 5 years ago I got alopecia and lost most of my hair. It was practical to shave my head instead of desperately trying to hide the bald spots. Everyone says you are so brave but inside I'm cringing. I have a particularly athletic body so easily get confused as a man. Being out and called sir is really hurtful and embarrassing and I laugh it off to be nice to the person that made the mistake.
Yes I show a brave face and pretend its ok. I hate my photo being taken.
I long to have a wig that makes me feel normal. A wig that fits and works for me.
I tell my family I want to buy a wig and get dismissed by saying I can pull off the bald look. Yes maybe I can but I don't want to. I want to feel feminine and have a wig that fits properly.
So I can't ask the family anymore for the funds so now I can only throw it out to the universe to see if I can get a wig. One way or another. Hopefully a chance to feel feminine and not constantly get mistaken for a man.
