Happy Sunday folks! I thought today I'd do a bit of a controversial post - one on body hair.
Body hair acceptance is something that is super important to me and people often call me out on this, but yes, I have hairy armpits and legs, and guess what: THAT'S OK!
It is absolutely every human's choice as to whether they shave wherever whenever. I promise you I'm not some crazy feminist (I am a damn passionate feminist but I don't not shave because of feminism) and I'm not 'disgusting'. But I have accepted that my body grows hair in these places, and I'm cool with that. Having said this, I don't feel like a lot of the pressures women feel really apply to me as a transgender non-binary individual. But any woman that wants to not shave should be free to do so. So basically I don't shave because I DON'T WANT TO.
But it's shocking how early children begin to feel these pressures. I remember being younger, maybe 10 or 11 years old and secretly buying razors to shave my legs. How can it be affecting youth in that way?? I felt pressured to shave at ELEVEN. It's ridiculous.
This being said, if a human wants to shave that's totally cool, each to their own.
What's your opinion on shaving? Do you think I'm disgusting? Haha.
Let me know in the comments.
