Not the same, but I sympathize with this because I’m a dude and my family always hated long hair. I don’t even like it that long but they have always being super pushy and insisting me on men in the family cutting it down twice or thrice a month. And every time I’ve have my hair not cut for a few months they get really annoying telling me to cut it down, that I look like a homeless person or whatever.
I’m now an adult, but because I’m financially dependent on them I still do this (consciously or not) just to be less stressed and make them shut up. I can’t imagine how rough would be something similar with a trans person.
My family is the same way. Very conservative and will say the exact same thing as yours regarding the homeless comment and even accuse you of being closeted.
Two or three times a month honestly sounds kind of insane. My mom always wanted me to have long hair and i never liked it. But i was also lazy and didn’t care, so i often had long-ish hair.

Really wish I didn’t have to deal with them.
I hope you’ll be free from them, that can’t happen soon enough!

Yeah, but men here REALLY love stupidly short buzz cuts.
Also, short hair is cute. Long-ish is cool as well.
