So, I was born(not literally) furry af, a few days ago finally got to “fuck it! Let’s do it” and used some depilatory cream to remove basically everything from the hips up.

It’s a bit weird, definitely different, but I love it! Haven’t had any comments so far, still a tiny bit nervous about that. But also kind of more of a “who gives a fuck?” mindset. Wifey has definitely admitted to liking my arm freckles being more visible, which feels awesome af too!

I’m not convinced its100% related, but I’ve also been feeling better about myself, which is also awesome! I remember the past few(idk) years looking into the mirror some night and just thinking “I really don’t like you/the way you look” but never really knowing why. Lately, I don’t have that as much, and sometimes think I’m getting small glimpses of a woman in there!

It’s different. It’s terrifying. It’s awesome.

    Congrats fellow former-yeti! I just sheared myself a few days ago for the first real time(electric body hair razor), haven’t done the arms yet as that’s VERY visible and would draw questions at work i don’t know that i want yet. It’s amazing how much less irritation I’m experiencing with it, and how much more weirdly comfortable clothing is! Honestly feels like I haven’t felt things actually touching my skin in YEARS!

    And yeah, a more visible constellation of freckles is pretty nice (I did NOT realize how completely covered in 'em my legs are!!)
