Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

Curious to know if there are other women who have chosen to not shave!

Why did you decide to forgo the razor and how do you feel about it now?

I’ve always been a bit anti-establishment and don’t ascribe to many society held standards for women. But I still shaved most of my body hair from the time I was a teenager until a couple of years ago. The journey through deciding to not shave and then going out into the world hairy really surprised me - I felt a freedom that I wasn’t expecting to feel so relieving. Empowering.

So I’m curious - what’s your shaving or not shaving journey?

I'm just lazy. I cleanshave armpits/legs, maybe twice a year if I'm going to a wedding or something fancy. I trim my pubes and sometimes my armpits with an electric razor because they get uncomfortable if too long, but even then that's like once a month at best.

When I was younger I used to shave everywhere all the time. And theres still a lot of stigma in my family about not shaving (read: my mom is rude AF about it). But I'm an adult and I don't live near her anymore and I do what I want.

I don't necessarily feel empowered either way, I just don't care anymore. If anyone has an issue with it, that's a them problem.
