Just cut my hair into a pixie and couldn’t be happier. No more triggered hypersensitivity! It’s especially worse in winters.

I am too tomboy to pull off the short haircut. When I had the short hair, regardless of what I wore and what I did, I was misgendered a lot to the point I would never consider cutting it short again. I am too masculine in personality/interests and my physical build because I do crossfit and have a little muscle definition on me, and it will never bode well for me as a result to combine this with short hair with traditional lesbian culture appropriating certain subsets of societal norms that I have as part of my personality despite the fact that I do not share in that sexual orientation in the slightest. It's less of a safety calculation or a question of how flattering or unflattering the haircut is, and more the fact that I am female, and I do not want to give off improper vibes socially by portrayal of more characteristic lesbian/gay vibes than I do as a natural tomboy when I am straight. It's a weird line to be walking, and frankly an uncomfortable one, in my opinion.
