White hair!?
Discorvery today, I have, well, had, (I plucked them out to examine them, make sure it wasn't just cat hair that got on my pillow or something.) two white hairs growing out of my head. Surley not a sign of becoming old, I'm only turning 16.
Sooo.. Premature greying of the hair? It's very possible that it's genetic and it skipped a generation on my dads side, since we know nothing about his bio-fathers genetic makeup, or anything else.
Just thought it was interesting. It really doesn't bother me though, worst comes to worst I can dye it or whatever.
Also, on a totally unrelated note, I'm sick of binding. It hurts (Not constantly, but sometimes.) and people are still seeing me as female. It's making me nuts and I'm kind of tempted to just stop. But I guess if I were more assertive about my male-ness, and less indecisive about what to call myself. It's easier to pretend to be a girl sometimes. DX
My own fault most likely. Nothing self-confidence probably couldn't fix.
But I'm still a teenager, and teens aren't exactly known for their self-confidence... I blame society... And my ovaries. As usual. :P

Don't worry about the white
Don't worry about the white hair thing; there's nothing wrong with you. :) My brother has that as well. It does appear to be genetic, because my grandfather had white hair at a much younger age than is usual.
Just my two cents: If it hurts, back off. Also, sometimes the easy way out is also the most painful.
Yeah I know, the white hair
Yeah I know, the white hair thing is more of a curiosity to me than an issue.
your two cents confuse me. 0w0 It's like you're telling me one thing and then another. But I dunno, maybe I'm just tired.
Sorry, that wasn't quite as
Sorry, that wasn't quite as clear as I thought it would be. I was trying to reply to two different points because I hate one-sentence paragraphs, but they sort of clashed.
Basically, what I meant was that sometimes the easy way out (giving up and pretending to be a girl) can be the most emotionally painful in the long run, rather than standing up and facing your fears.
The other part, about backing off, was just about the binding.
It was really late when I wrote that other comment, so no wonder my brain wasn't working right. *snort*
Probs not greying. Naturally
Probs not greying. Naturally my hair is a blondey brown, but I get white hairs and black hairs every now and then. They don't show up because they blend in. Maybe because your hair is dark you spot them.
I'm 19 but I can already see where I'm going to get wrinkles in my forehead. It's ok though, because they're serious looking world appraising wrinkles.
Maybe you should only bind outside if you're leaving the house. I know how important it is to you to present as male, but you maybe could try alternating binding with just a sports bra and baggy clothes. You shouldn't ignore it if it hurts- your poor rib cage is probably getting horribly squished.
During puberty quite a few boys actually experience swelling of the breast tissue- they basically grow small boobs. It's called gynecomastia (I did have to look up how to spell that). Rather than thinking of them as markers of femaleness, consider this your embarrassing puberty. Although that probably doesn't actually help much. Enjoy!
