Shaving legs and under arms, do you still do it?

The last time I shaved anything (besides my head) was when I was maybe 17...which was pre-realization of transness, post-not giving a f**k about body hair. So, I shaved for maybe 2 years of my life. Out of those 2 years I only shaved when absolutely needed (summer time).

I'm pre-T and I don't shave my legs, but I do shave under my arms, and probably will do when finally on T, more for the fact that I already sweat an awful lot under there, and the hair just makes it worse.

I havent for ages. I've never liked shaving my legs but a girlfriend gave me ->-bleeped-<- about it so I did it for a while in summer.. didn't like it though. So I haven't for year or so, I like how it looks and feels :P   Plus I'm lazy, haha.

One thing I do though: I pluck the unibrow. I prefer to have two eyebrows, lol.

Indeed I do. It's a cleanliness thing, something about being hairy feels gross to me. But trust me, if Istopped shaving, I would be hairier than most bio-guys.
I'm not concerned that shaving my body hair is a girly habit. I know plenty of guys who shave.

Not with miss republican homophobic girl who has HONESTLY said that our current president should "crawl up in a hole, shoot himself, and die" as well as telling me that I should "go drown in the ocean, you're going to die in fire anyway"

She might be half my size, but I'm gonna avoid confrontations, because I WILL be blamed [yknow, cuz it's easier to blame the 5'9 dyke than the 4'11 prim&proper girlygirl]


oh.. and the uniforms. Forgot about those.
Hope i can get away with black sweatpants this year...[skirts -.-]

Haven't shaved anything since I came out over a year ago.

Pre-t and no I do not shave.  Haven't shaved the legs in a long time.  Stopped shaving armpits last semester as an experiment.  Ever since no shaving.  My thoughts is it will help me pass, and it makes me feel better that I have more pit and leg hair than some grown guys I know.  Haha, yay for confidence.  Howeevverrr, there leaves the problem of when I'm around people who know me but don't know I'm a guy.  I love wearing sleeveless shirts, but I don't wear them in that situation.  I will present myself as guy as much as possible...short of showing body hair.  I'm afraid they'll think it's gross and not understand why I have it (and they won't cuz they don't know). 
After I'm on T I'll start shaving now and again (I like clean hairless skin too), but as I said, for now to help with passing around strangers I don't shave.  Ever.  (less work for me!)

I don't shave anything and some of the people who think I'm just a lesbian don't even make a big deal with me not shaving, this one boy wanted to compare our leg hair lengths lmao.
Push it baby, push it baby, out of control, I got my gun cocked tight and I'm ready to blow. ;)

pre transition I shaved my legs, I dunno why, just did it.  and pre T i shaved my armpits, I am 1 week on T and don't plan to shave anymore, but I will probably shave my pits untill I get more hair there (cause semi pit hair is dumb IMO)

I shave everything. When I don't it's itchy and if I let things get out of hand I dislike the smell. When I stop shaving my legs I don't get itchy, but I feel awkward letting them be furry when everything else is shaved.

I personally cannot stand to shave anything anymore. I trim the underarm hair sometimes if it gets too much but I cannot stand the feel of clothing against shaved skin. It drives me up the wall.

I've never bothered with shaving. To me it's not natural. Even on T I will refuse to shave.

I haven't shaved anything in the last few months or so. Shaving makes me feel very feminine. I think it's because I'm pre-everything, so body hair is the only physically masculine thing I've got. Before I start T, I'm going to shave my legs and armpits, so when the hair grows back, it's more coarse, and less feminine looking.

I rarely even shaved my legs before I came out. Maybe once or twice during the summer. Underarm hair, I don't have to worry about, which I really don't care for. I had surgery when I was 15 to remove infection and lost all of my hair in my underarms. Kind of wishing I had a choice now but it is one little thing I don't like. Now the only thing I shave is my face :)
