Hey loves! Persian girl thinking about regrowing her unibrow here.

The whole idea of hair removal (women only ofc 🙄) is a huge thing in the Middle East and has frankly made us so uncomfortable with our own ethnic features. Like I genuinely cannot remember how I look with my natural eyebrows bc of the lovely school kids who bullied me into waxing and threading (pretty fucking painful btw) at the age of 9 :)

Anyway would love to know y’all’s opinions on this. Is it ‘socially acceptable’ for women to have unibrows/facial hair in general? How is it viewed in your culture?

Transphobes look at Nasser al-Din Shah’s daughter and say: This is a boy!

Keep in mind that not everyone has American genetics 😒
