Don't judge me for this. . .
I'm ugly asf. My hair is TOO LONG and it's bothering me. :(( And my mom won't let me get it cut cause she's not supportive of me being trans and she still misgenders me and calls me her "daughter" :/

I know it's scary when your parent(s) get mad at you, but you just gotta do it. You are your own person.
You are YOU no matter if she refuses to accept it. You don't have to live in an alternate reality where you have to pretend to be someone else just because she can't or won't understand.
One day I walked into a hair salon with hair down to my but and walked out with a pixie cut. I am cis-gender, but it felt amazing even though my mother was seriously not impressed. I felt like myself. I can't imagine how good it would feel for you.
You will survive your mother's disapproval. You can do it. One step at a time.

For me cutting my hair short felt like I was affirming who I am. I'm queer af, and if my appearance happens to signals that I belong to the queer community because it matches stereotypes, I'm okay with that. Having my hair short is an act of being true to myself, and of defiance.
