Style or Pass?

One of the difficulties I, and with me many transpeople, am facing is the compromise between personal style, and 'doing what every cisguy does' to aid passing.
I am quite a 'strange' person to many, and have very much a distinct style of my own (which is a bit of a rocker, hippie and skater mixed together. Cannot describe it otherwise). I like to wear 'odd' clothing, and to top that off I have pretty long dreadlocks.
Often I contemplated whether I should cut them, since 'long hair is long hair', and I feel like it hinders my passing, even though some fellow transguys on online communities have said otherwise. I am really attached to my dreads, on a personal and emotional level, and they really suit my style and personality. But short hair has a lot of advantages too, especially as a transguy...
Also wearing unusual clothing focusses people's attention on you, which makes it easier for them to clock you, and when you dress like any other guy, people are easy to assume you ARE 'any other guy'.

It can be quite difficult to stick to yourself when in early transition, especially when you're a 'weird bird' in a flock of common ones. I have never been "normal" though, and probably never WILL be. I don't feel at ease when just 'blending in' and being 'normal'. A goal in my life is to defy every single rule there is in the universe, starting with gravity and the speed of light! :P Okay... maybe not... but at least stereotypes concerning gender, transpeople, hippies, gamers... labels... so many labels...!
And even though it makes me feel dysphoric sometimes, I decided not to completely lose my 'own' style, my 'own' person (which is totally independent from gender!), or anything like that in the process of socially, and eventually physically, transitioning.

But whatever I do, the doubts and worries follow me everywhere. Even into my sleep! I wish I could just wake up the next day as a cisguy, and stop worrying about what is considered truly 'male', about whether people will see or accept me as male, and how I should walk, speak, and sit.
