Strangers keep thinking I'm trying to transition into a woman bc of my long hair. Thinking about going back to short.

To be clear, i think trans women who dont yet pass are still beautiful and deserving of respect! However, I'm absolutely not a woman nor am i trying to become one. This issue is becoming a weekly occurrence and it's really bringing my self esteem down and feeling very uncomfortable.

I do wear makeup, mostly just eyeliner. but i've weirdly only been misgendered in this way when i don't have any makeup on.

Been growing my hair out for 3 years. I have an undercut so it's sort of a mohawk. I love it and i take very good care of it, but this is becoming a little too much for me.

Thoughts?
