This Is My Leg Hair Acceptance Journey (for Anyone Interested)
this is my leg hair acceptance journey (for anyone interested)
i'm still not there yet but my perception has changed
before starting, even with my legs covered in winter i'd shave everything (even my arms and back)
then i started letting it grow in winter and still shaving/waxing in summer
i did that for a few years and last summer i decided to keep my leg hair, only to bleach it (cuz it's very dark)
i even went to the beach with it in a bikini and it wasn't easy but it was surprising how not so many people noticed, although i was only with family so it definitely helped feeling more comfortable
i've progressively gotten used to seeing myself with leg hair and i like the feeling of it now and would rather not shave anymore
i still have trouble fully accepting it though, i still don't like how my leg hair looks with more feminine clothing such as skirts or dresses, and i'm not sure i'd be willing to wear shorts to work with leg hair yet (i'm thinking of waxing at first and letting it grow out again so that i can slowly get used to having more and more leg hair in a work/public setting)
basically, it takes a lot of work, and a lot of time, but it is possible to free yourself from this gender norm and it's very cool not having to be obsessed with every unshaved hair and not having to spend a lot of time and money shaving/waxing (also a lot less pain and less blood)
i'm lucky to hang out with mostly women who have the same mindset as me on body hair
i did get comments from my dad but a little feminist lecture put a stop to them
so next step is in a work environment which will be very hard bcs they're not the most progressive bunch but i'll try

love how oscar wilde prefaced the picture of dorian gray by basically saying "whoever smelt it dealt it" to whoever sees gay in it
Was just informed by my mom that I do in fact have ADHD and the reason I thought I didn’t was because ever since I was seven whenever I got super energetic my mom would have me go chop wood so now when I’m feeling The ADHD I go chop wood and I thought it was just some sort of routine I started when I was little and wanted to blow off steam
I’m screaming
