I was browsing the Second type woman site http://www.secondtype.com/skeleton.htm (http://www.secondtype.com/skeleton.htm) and found this:
QuoteHair
Women do not have noticeable hair like men on their chest, arms, legs and other bodily areas. Women's pubic hair is formed like a triangle pointing down; men's pubic hair forms a triangle pointing up. Women do not loose head hair like many men do in old age.
Huh? I have pubic hair formed like a triangle pointing down and I thought everyone did. Since most porn actors shave
I'm not sure that is a reliable way to research this. So what do you have?
I can't tell. It is just a wild mass of unkempt hairness you know, no particular clear cut boundaries. Fierce bush baby!
<yeouch> i never noticed until pre-surgery electrolisis....and....well...as little as possible since. it did grow back but...like she said....wherever it pleases.
I think what is being referred to is that a "normal" male will have some variable amount of pubic hair growing in a triangle pattern toward his navel starting at his pubic ridge. But the pubic area in general will have more hair, except on the penis.
I put "normal" in quotes because of my years in boys gym class. I never had much body hair and that upward triangle never appeared (thank Goddess!). I never felt like a "normal" male in the first place.

Never really paid much attention to that... ??? mostly pre-HRT if I went more then a week without shaving I looked like cousin It! But now that I think about it I do notice a triangular shape pointing up.
Pubic hair? Sparse, definitely triangle pointed down.
Body hair? Including armpits - none, except for the very fine hairs like all women have. I don't even shave my legs or underarms 'cause there is nothing to shave.
On the head - thick and luxurious.
Yes, when it came to hair and genes, I caught a lucky break!
Pre-T and now on T there never was any semblance of a triangle, really. Lots of hair on my legs in the bikini area giving me a rectangle, LOL.
Hmmmm...I haven't had body hair in so long I've forgotten what it looks like, much less the direction it points to.
At my age the color would be the major concern! Does pubic hair go gray???? Frightening...and Halloween is past!
Back to bed Flo...
Never had the triangle going up.
Quote from: Flo on November 02, 2008, 01:55:14 AMDoes pubic hair go gray????
Mine hasn't. Everything else has turned gray, but not that.
I have a little landing strip down there which I keep neatly trimmed and shaved.
reading that website reminded me of every flaw I have that will never ever be changed :"/ How depressing.
Very minimal body hair. About 20% of what my father and brother have. Pubic hair has always been triangular pointing down. Very little stomach or chest hair or under arm. No back hair. Sparse leg hair.
Light beard.
Luckier than some but still too much male hair!!!!!!!!!!!
I think the triangle pointing up would encompass the triangle pointing down. Take the downwards one and form the base of three more triangles from each edge and you have the size of the male area. Of course some just aren't that hairy but I guess it's typical.
What does a man with two penises say when the tailor asks him, "do you dress to the right or to the left"?
That is, I've got both. One is sparse except in the middle, and it's very short and dark. The other is more more uniform, and it comes out in golden curls that I've at times been tempted to put in braids if it would grow out long enough.
So that's what that patch of hair I keep shaved is called LOL :)
I have noticed a few of changes in the pubic hair since SRS. I seem to have a lot less curl down there then before. It definitely has a different growth pattern too
Bugger... i have a landing strip...
I Cant tell :(
what part of shave shave shave do you not understand i've been trying and failing to get this crap off my face, and IT will not come off.
In terms of pubic hair, I'm almost bald. That would be a link to AIS which I have. However, we must be careful when comparing ourselves with other women. No doubt about it, females have different bones than males. Yet, your ethnicity also plays a major part on your bone structure. I refuse to compare myself to a woman that is not born with the same condition that I have. Even still, I will not compare myself to any woman because I am a woman. Sure, I have some differences. Yet, I understand and accept that not everyone can be Halle Barry. When I look in the mirror, I want to be pleased at seeing me, not what someone says a woman should look like.
Please do not take offense to this. But, for example, compare an African woman facial feature to those of a British woman and you will see that there are distinct differences some which may very well be considered male bone in British women genetics.
I've lived as a woman for 15 years now and it took me a very long time to stop looking at models and other transwomen wishing that I could look like them. Today, I'm a happy African Hebrew woman and would never consider changing my body structure to fit the image of what a woman is supposed to look like. As long as I can walk down the street and be treated as any other female, who cares that I don't look like Tyra Banks or have the body of Beyonce. As long as men still respect me and see me as any other female, who cares that my hands maybe bigger than Mariah Carey's hands. Are there other women like me, sure there are. I've met plenty in my 15 years as a woman. Are there women who look like men, sound like men and behave like men, sure there are, these too I have met.
Please my sisters, we are women in our own right. Look in the mirror and feel good about what you look like. If you can improve upon it, then do so. But, don't let your journey be based upon an image that makes someone else a unique female. You are unique. Embrace that uniqueness and move forward as a strong woman holding your head high.
For those that may still struggle with rather or not you "Pass" enough. Ask yourself one simple question, just who are you trying to become? Do you truly recognize the true woman in yourself? After all, this is why we are on this journey. You are unique. Work that uniqueness. We are given a gift. We are born of both genders. Not too many people have that gift or even know what to do with it. You can spend your life comparing yourself to other women or you can live your life being the woman you are. I choose the later.
Before I had like a triangle I guess.. but it was hairy on my bikini line too..
Now on T and I have a trial and hair there too..
Kept though!
Meltzer did me and so i just looked and well my hair seems to be growing down not up. Maybe when he pulled it in it changed irections i don't know but as i recall it always went down hmm then again i am a blonde with a tinge or red below

DITTO JASMINE I just wrote this at another blog about an hour ago
I understand many who want to use their feminine ways to get female priveldges but i never felt it fair to be like that. I feel like its not giving women their true freedom as equals. Women can do anything a man can do and sometimes more. I never let men buy me anything. I do not like being treated as less than or different. The only thing is people did treat me different as a male and i hated that too.
Triangle pointing down.....No trail leading up my belly
Then: wild, dark brown and trying to creep up my abdomen in a thin black line to my belly button.
Now: fine, light brown and restricted to the area covered by a bikini.
lawl... i think im like jay. i have like a giant rectangle. i always wiched i had the triangle cause then it would be covered by a swimsuit. its a b**ch to shave it there. but yea.... definitely a lot.
