Well it got pretty bad the other morning. I woke up and looked down to see the hair on my legs so I got really upset. Sound silly to some but it felt so uncomfortable seeing the hair on my legs like any other guy. At first, I wanted to shave than I got to the point where I got even more sad. This lasted bad a bit even after I put on jeans. Ive been through this with facial hair, when my hair was cut super short. It's been after when I saw hair thinning and other male things on my body. I would sit and pluck my facial hair hoping to kill the follicles to where Id shave the hair off my arms or so when it got bad. It's not fun.
Some think this is a choice but it is not. Ive gone through severe attacks before over having a male body. This is never fun and wish I was just born full female instead of dealing with this. Today Im fine but who knows when it happens. It can really suck.
Leg hair is a trigger for my dysphoria as well. I totally get where you're coming from.
If you can, I would remove the body hair. It's certainly adding to your dysphoria which is why getting rid of it wouldn't be bad. Big hugs

Ya Ive thought of that before but unlike possibly doing the laser hair removal on my face where no one would notice, I know people would notice on my legs and it could get me bullied and lots of questions possibly to.
There are reasons that you can give them that have nothing to do with being trans that can be used to get away with it and hopefully avoid the bullying. Hugs

I've been surprised that I don't get any comments on my legs. I use an epilator on them and try to keep up as the hair really bothers me as well. I present male most of the time and haven't gotten any flak for it. I'm 46 though and maybe being older helps as I don't have to deal with young boys/men who tend to be more aggressive in general. If I could afford laser I'd take it all off for good, but until then, i epilate body and legs and trim my arm hair with a beard trimmer so it's short but still there. Arms are a mix of dark and light so it just looks kind of feminine natural. ( not that I haven't toyed with the idea of loosing the arm hair as well).

Well just be glad its only the leg hair. That's fairly easy to shave. for me its my back and chest hair. Ugh its a freaking jungle. I try on a new bra or dress and bam I'm a hairy gorilla in a dress. so much errrrr. i hates it so much. can't wait til I'm smooth as a baby's behind.
