Thank YOU for sharing your experiences with body hair and hair removal. It is so important our voices are heard because there is a lot of shame surrounding this topic. Totally agree that these beauty standards provide so much pressure in women (especially young girls) to conform, and if they do not, then to experience shaming and body dysmorphia. I honestly felt like an alien sometimes when I was growing up because I never felt like I fit the ideal. But i don't think anyone ever does. So we all end up feeling so lonely in this way, but talking about it really does help. Really appreciate you and your insight on this topic!
