im like the lorax when it comes to women's body hair. we should let it grow.
#eliot posts#the other day my roommate was talking abt how she hates shaving#but does it anyway bc she doesn't want people to be mean to her about her body hair#and i was like yeah i mean i used to#also worry about that bc my mother was always so fucking cruel to me when i didn't shave#but as an adult i find that it's extremely rare that anyone even mentions it (tho my body hair is pretty light so that could be a factor)#but even when people are shitty i find that i no longer give a shit about what what those idiots have to say about my body#but i understand that that can be a hard step to take so if you need to keep shaving for your own comfort then i won't judge#but on the inside i was just like#*ibuprofen hand meme* ''let's get called disgusting hairy d*kes together <3''#i had a great time showing off my pit hair at the pool today!#(i get read as a woman when im swimwear cuz i can't hide my body as much. so i get read as a hairy masculine woman.)#i show off my leg hair every time i wear shorts but like. my leg hair is Pathetic#i look practically prepubescent vis a vis my leg hair (my mother still calls it disgusting lmao)#but my pit hair is pretty good#i occupy a weird gendered place in society where i am more of a man in identify but society genders me as a woman#the only time i feel remotely okay being seen as a woman is when i am seen as a BAD woman. a woman who cannot/will not be A Proper Lady#it's not an entirely ACCURATE view of me but there's Something in it

realizing how much of a fuckin mistake it was to shave my pits
#my happy trail & legs as well (;-;)#imma let that shit grow back now#luckily it doesn't take super long for my pit and leg hair to grow#unfortunately i can't say the same for my happy trail. it'll probably take a little while for it to catch up#and i'm not doing this as a statement or anything#i'm just tired of shaving every week#the only reason i'm using my razor from this point forward is to shave half of my eyebrows#the only other instance aside from that is shaving so i have space for tattoos#what's cookin' in hell's kitchen?

There’s something so funny about learning that my mother was, in fact, deeply disturbed by her 7 year old growing a mustache, and yet went through such lengths to normalize it to me. She would tell me how every woman does this, and then ten years later she turns and goes “yeah no none of my family even had to consider that. I have no idea where that came from.”
#She pressures me to shave my legs in cold seasons but she’s understanding about my facial hair#My Swedish genes kicked in solely to give me blonde hair in specific spots. Means I’m not pressured to shave my arms though!#I know it’s a faux pas here for lesbians to shave sorry lol. Can’t stand leg hair in heat. Or pit hair in general. I hate having pit hair#I get it though hairy women are fucking hot

I really appreciate that I have beautiful, full and thick hair, eyebrows and lashes thanks to my middle eastern/asian genes but I wish their powers wouldn’t also extend to body hair when I want to ged rid of it 😬
#sorry I feel like I talk about hair struggles on here all the time#but like#bruh#you won’t know until you know#I have fortunately become very comfortable with my body hair#in my teenage years I was mostly not and it was a source of great stress for me#I now mostly view body hair the same I view the hair on my scalp#so every once in a while I do want a change so I’ll shave my legs or dye my pits#but when that happens it’s always a fight with whatever removal method I chose#my epilator was doing its MOST okay#still didn’t make it epilating my second leg past the knee#little guy just hasn’t the battery capacity but it’s trying it’s best#yeah#okay that’s enough#thank you and good night#I have half a new haircut for now lol#gigi babbles

not to be having an OPINION on main but the leg hair feels so fucking neurotypical and stupid. having any sort of expectations or politics around body hair is fucking stupid.
#i mean greater communal expectations not personal expectations#if you don't want to fuck someone for not shaving their pits or legs whatever#but i find the whole idea that a woman has do to ANYTHING to exist in this world a fucking#insane bullshit thing#i dont have to justify my life.#you have to accept me because im here. if it was needed for my survival to shave my legs i'd die if i didn t#im alive and wlel#it feels such a neurotypical concept to expect people to do any sort of aesthetic thing

the tags on prev post that said shaving isnt more hygenic and the hair actually protects you from fungal/bacterial issues. REALLY FUCKING TRUE. i was shaving consistently as a teen and my only ever yeast infection was bc i thought i needed to be bald pussy gang and dude it fucking sucked. Never fucking again i was in agony for a month
#txt#tmi#ive never been like that for my legs or pits but i got so caught up in you need to shave your bits to be attractive and its just not true

When I first stopped removing my body hair I would absentmindedly shave in the shower too. Once I shaved my whole right leg before I realized... But I was trying so hard to change that I couldn't bring myself to finish the job! So I just walked around with one very hairy and dark, one naked until it grew back 😅 It's been years of no removal now lol there is hope
LMAOOOO, i actually did this before except it was pubic hair 🤭 i just started shaving it without thinking and realised halfway so i just stopped. it was somewhat demonic looking but luckily, my being brown meant that the hair would grow back out in less than a week anyways
#i’ve managed to stop shaving all other body parts. i even go outside w my hairy legs out n such#shaving my pits is the only thing -_-

anyway I realized I haven't done anything Self Care-y in the like, body department for a while so I'm gonna take an hour-long shower and shave off my winter pelt* and see if I have a face mask somewhere
#*I don't shave in the winter cause whats the point. no one's gonna see my legs or pits.#and i need all the extra insulation i can get#sorry if this is tmi but. im so tired with winter i need to make believe that it'll be shorts weather soon

I think one of the biggest wins of feminism is the normalization of body hair. Fuck yeah 😭🙏
#luly talks#i forgot there was a time where shaving was borderline mandatory like it just wasn't an option#me telling my mom i didn't want to have my pits or legs was seen as rebellious#and i am a transexual but even if i wasnt like. it wasnt a statement in masculity it literally was just me wanting to just EXIST#it's just deranged#and i still get sometimes ashamed bout having armpit hair mind you!!!#that shit is so awful thank god its not as common place anymore

my leg hair finally growing back is great bc i love having leg hair. on the other hand it's making my leg skin break out Really Bad and it hurts to wear my pants and boots and it sucks so much
#it hails#forgot that the whole 'getting breakouts from shaving' also applied to my legs . and that it would happen now too#'ooo i dont shave my pits or face bc i get pimples' <- guy who forgot leg hair also has to undergo the process of ''growing back''

I have to dedicate days to basic self care (mostly non-daily. ie showering, clipping my nails, exfoliating, shaving, etc.) or else it will not get done.
#btw by shaving i mostly mean trimming leg hair with electric clippers bc i hate the smooth leg feel#and shaving my armpits bc i hate the feeling of deoderant on hairy pits#i know i dont need to justify my shaving habits but i feel like i need to make known my body hair stance#which is that its great and natural and beautiful and people should always have the choice to shave or not shave according to what THEY like
