LGBT Question

I need some advice about hair? Kinda want to look like a boy?

So recently I found the term Genderfluid at my schools GSA club meeting. Even when I was a kid I would want to look like a boy but not really all the time, just kind of fifty fifty. Over time my mom was sure to stamp that all out and kept me as girly as she could even though all my friends were guys. Well now that I know that term I feel a kind of correlation with it and while I'm not sure if I am gender fluid or just kind of an energetic tom boy I've been wanting to cut my hair short for a while now. SO I guess this is kind of a two part question.
Do you think I might be gender fluid or just want to look and feel like a boy sometimes?
If/When I cut my hair what kind of hair cut would be able to make me look like a girl on some days and a boy on others?
thank you so much in advance!

Also since I am biologically a girl I am considered straight. I have no attraction to women what so ever if that means anything....... so confused.

Wanting to look and feel like a boy does probably mean you're gender fluid; I feel that way and I identify as nonbinary! If the label feels good to you, use it and explore it. Cutting your hair will probably help you figure yourself out better.

As far as hair, it's really more about what YOU are like on a certain day than your hair, trust me. My friend group is almost entirely queer and whether someone looks more femme or butch / boy on a given day has more to do with clothes / how you carry yourself / makeup or lack thereof. My hair is dark and kinda like young bieber but less boybandy and I can pass as a girl or a boy depending on everything else. As long as your hair isn't like buzzed you'll be fine, maybe shave the sides shorter but keep some length on top (like below)? Googling androgynous models might also give you some ideas!

Also - your sexual orientation has nothing to do with your gender identity. You can like men and not be cis. ^^
