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.

Doesn’t this moron realize that even MEN are getting rid of unsightly body hair these days? It’s called manscaping. So, no matter which binary-gender-whatchamacallit he/she/it thinks he/she/it is this week...GET WAXING!

I don’t have a television these days, is this clown the anchor of one of the network news programs or what?
What does show is he on?
We hear 20 “Transgender” stories every day, how many tv programs have such characters in lead roles now? One on each network now?

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
