Thank you, Charlotte, for sharing. I’m trans and I have very similar feelings in that regard. I had no problem or worry about undergoing trans procedures or surgeries. But I’ve not been able to bring myself to get a tattoo or any unusual piercings, even though I often admire them on other people. I used to dye my hair, but nothing out of the ordinary. And I now actively choose to rock it gray.

I hear you about the tattoos. A lot of my family and friends have tattoos but I've never been able to find a design that I felt I could live with for the rest of my life. Hair color? Sure. I can change that any time. For a while I dyed it blonde like what I had when I was in high school. Lately I've been dying it red in honor of my Irish ancestors, plus everyone says it looks like my natural color. I did get my ears pierced when I was in high school but that's it. Bottom line, do what makes you happy.
