Sharon, like you, I am very hairy. I'm a redhead and my leg hair is strawberry blonde and my facial hair is blonde, thankfully. I pluck my chin hair fairly often because I have thicker hairs there and could quite easily grow a beard.
I haven't shaved my legs this winter because I find it a chore. I'm hairier than my trans female flatmate.
lol I kinda feel like I am more harry than my boyfriend...he's ginger so like his beard hair is just reddish and the other hair is basically just either reddish or light. But I am pale with dark hair so for sure all my body hair can be visable, but my boyfriend doesn't care, so I don't care....lol maybe I am even helping the whole womens movement of not shaving, because I don't feel the need to do so anymore it's just uncomfortable and archaic like freak just leave me alone about my leg hair...maybe I like having it and would rather people don't keep trying go convince why to shave, they're my legs and I don't want to so f*ck off.
Exactly. I found it weird that suddenly I hit an age where is was no longer acceptable to be myself and I had to modify my body. I really resented it.
But it was the 90s and thick black tights were the fashion, so I could get away with it and I wore leggings for gym class.
I think skinny jeans are what swayed me to shave more often. There's nothing worse than the feeling of hairy legs under skinny jeans. Now they're going out of fashion and wide leg trousers are what you'll find in the shops I will probably let it slide again.
