TLDR women with armpit hair has caused me to question my gender identity slightly? I’m AMAB with parents believing men shouldn’t wear pink or dresses, skirts, stuff like that. However despite that I still come out effeminate which Is purposeful (I mean on online stuff I purposefully have a more androgynous or feminine name) . I have always looked at both men’s and women’s outfits as how I want to dress in the future. That caused something strange though where I became very aware of my body hair as I grew up, but my parents didn’t let me shave my body hair cause they didn’t want me looking even more feminine. I have never really cared about my gender Identity. I’m a man who wants to dress however I want. I don’t care about looking feminine or masculine I just want to dress however I want. I didn’t want to show my arms or legs because of body hair though, but as time went on I became more comfortable with myself. However honestly I don’t remember how this started, but I googled “women with armpit hair” (definitely the strangest thing I have ever googled😭), and it feels so idk. I am unsure how to describe what I feel? Vindicated, affirmed idk? But now I’m starting to question my gender identity right now as I started typing this. I do feel comfortable with the gender identity of a man, but it’s like a yes and situation. Yes I’m a man, and is there anything else? I know I have never really cared for labeling myself, but now I’m curious. I don’t really care about labeling based on my clothing or looks. I feel somewhat in the gray. I want(and already kinda do) to present in a way that is definitely more prescribed to femininity, but i don’t necessarily feel like saying that my pronouns are she/her. If I’m something it’s probably androgynous. So maybe he/they, but obviously I need to properly think and reflect on this. Thank you so much for reading🫶
