This weekend at my dads, my bro is having this skin boarding thing out (like a skip n slide). I would be wearing swimming trunks. THing is, I've got some freaking hairy legs. Like manly dark haired legs. They've all seen me in shorts once but It's kinda awkward especially with my step moms parents cause they all see me as a girl BUT...there whole church is gonna be there and they all know me as a girl. I think its kinda weird for them all to see my legs. I talked to my bro and He said 'then shave' trying to prove a point I said 'do you shave'? HE said no. I said 'why not' and He said 'cause I'm a boy'. THat pissed me off. I even told him the day before I was trans. So, what do you guys think, SHould I shave one more time (I've been waiting to be able to stop shaving cause I used to need to expose my legs and it make your hair grow back darker and I don't need that, or should I wear pants which is kinda weird but I've done it before. Or just not do it. But that probably won't happen, it looks fun I wear pants which is kinda weird but I've done it before. Or just not do it. But that probably won't happen, it looks fun before. Or just not do it. But that probably won't happen, it looks fun happen, it looks fun

As far as I am aware there is no rule in the world that says people have to shave anything. It's a personal decision. I know many (genetic) females who don't shave legs, armpits etc. There are heaps and heaps of guys in public view who shave everything, look at the wrestling programs. pro-cyclists, swimmers etc. I;m pretty sure most people would be a little hesitant to go to a 6' 5" 250Lb wrestler and tell him he's a poofter for shaving/waxing his body :laugh: I've seen Sandra Bullock with unshaved pits, looked OK to me.


Do what you want, it's your body.

I wouldn't shave.  Even if you're just coming out your presentation is probably more androgynous than feminine and most people won't care.  OTOH if you were totally femme and wearing a bikini and didn't shave, people would surely notice that!

FWIW at the conference I went to a few weeks ago there were some crunchy granola-type women there in sundresses sporting hairy legs.  So it's not unheard of.

Actually everyone who sees me that hasn't been told I'm a girl sees me as a guy, if that's what you meant by my presentation. BUt most of them know me as a girl. But Ok jay, thanks.
