Hey Kevin,
Welcome to the tribe, bro! I'm sure that I'm not alone in welcoming you to the hyperboard. I am always glad when another guy realizes that being a long hair is part of who he is and decides that he is going to resist societal pressure and grow his hair.
Yes, I have had comments even as recently as this week from a well meaning aunt about getting my hair cut. She asked me why do I wear your hair long. I responded that I like it long.
Kevin, be strong. Never respond in anger to someone who makes a negative comment about your hair. If someone asks you if you want to be a woman you might respond that you are comfortable enough in your masculinity. Ask them if they realized that for much of human history men of royal and noble rank wore their hair long. They had the financial means to live in houses which did not have earthen floors and they could bath and wash their hair and keep it free of lice. Slaves and prisoners of war usually had their heads shaved.
Hey Kevin, we're here for you to support you in your long haired journey, especially when you are getting worn down from the negative comments about your long hair. You are a member of a minority; about five (5) percent of men in the general population have long hair. We are the last minority against whom it is still fashionable and tolerable to persecute and discriminate against. Hang tough, dude. It's part of the price you pay to be a long hair.
You may inspire another guy to have the testosterone to grow out his hair but has been afraid to do so because he is afraid of the remarks and comments he might receive.
Your long haired bro,
Raymond
