Last night was hard. It was my first bonafide red carpet in LA (at the Beverly Hilton of all places, where they host the Golden Globes) and for some reason I felt really alienated from my body. Last night it really started to dawn on me just how much further we have to go. While gender nonconforming and nonbinary people are making progress in some ways, it's generally only been people who fit a certain androgynous, hairless, youthful look. Last night on the red carpet, I felt the weight of just how radical my chest hair and armpit hair and leg hair continue to be. I felt out of place because I refuse to get rid of the hair that's on my body. I felt the weight of what it means to push back against the idea that hairlessness equals beauty. And I started to get a sense of just how hard it's going to be to make it as a hairy nonbinary femme in this industry. I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with choosing to wax or shave, but last night I felt like the only girl in the world who doesn't choose to do so. I've always known that my beauty will take time for others

Thanks! I was trying to think of who she reminded me of and you nailed it!
There is something about a tat-free woman that is very refreshing.
He’s mentally ill
I blame his parents, they should have nipped this shit in the bud.
“WHat the hell is wrong with people???”
Life is too easy, with no risks and no challenges. I assure you if it was 1930 and he had to feed himself and his family he wouldn’t give a d@mn about his inner woman. Probably he wouldn’t even have an inner woman. It’s only when nothing important is happening that noise-level idiot thoughts get thought and acted on.
truth! I had a relative who refused to work because he had “issues” similar to this guy.
His mama coddled him, and we all pointed out that if he was cold/hungry/homeless he would find work PDQ.
He never had to b/c she supported him and his delusions.

LOL...Identifies as a female, but angered because he wants to keep his chest hair.
As a REAL female, if I had chest hair, I would be positively mortified and would be in LASER THERAPY every week! hahaha
