    It wasn’t until my 30s when I grew out all the hair on my body for the first time. An entire lifetime of catering to the male gaze.

    It was personally revolutionary to be honest.

      I’m a trans man and I wasn’t able to feel comfortable wearing shorts without shaving until my early 30s either. The indoctrination is real!

        My personal experience doesn’t dictate what your wife should feel or do for her own body.

        Your wife still grows hair. It’s ultimately her decision what to do with it, but her body grows hair naturally.
