Only they are exempt from "conventional beauty standards" Alternate title: You're Just Jealous I Have A Neck To Show Off I asked a friend of mine to buzz my hair last night, going from about two feet of hair to 1/4 of an inch, so it's a pretty big change. From my human friends, I've only gotten positive remarks, and I've even had a few guys tell me they like how it looks.  Today at lunch however, the resident land whale of the group sits down and acts shocked to see me, saying she didn't recognize me. "it is a big change!" I said, "But I like it" "I thought you were a 12 year old boy" she said, sourly. This despite the fact that I was wearing make up and a form fitting top, while she looked like she had just rolled out of bed I shrugged it off, It's not the first time I've gotten that kind of comment, seems like that's their go to insult when you dont have "muh womanly curves."
