Luckily gender is nothing but a construct of society
but you're not the only one that happens to. In my intro to anthropology class we watched a documentary on the 'bearded lady'. She allowed her facial hair to grow out because she felt fake whenever she thought of getting rid of it. I thought it was pretty neat, but I'm sure you can imagine how the rest of the class reacted
and I hear ya about growing up in a christian conservative household, it is quite stifling. But you know what, do what you want cus you only have one life, might as well live it as you please!
