@thealtperspective: #stitch with @averyy what are you even sayingggg #bodyhair #shaving #patriarchy

averyy :

You didn’t comprehend a single thing I said. Your “arguments” against me are a confused combination of things I don’t disagree with (and never argued against in my video) and extremely lazy strawmans. I never said being okay with your body hair makes you trans. I never said that the patriarchy isn’t a reason why women shave. I said it isn’t the ONLY reason. I said if you could “learn to love” your body no matter what it looked like, you’re probably trans (you would at the very least be genderfluid.) I’m so confused where everyone is hearing “body hair is inherently masculine.” When I never said that. The truth of the matter is, were you to go on T, you would grow more body hair. So while the presence of body hair isn’t inherently masculine, body hair is a sexually dimorphic trait. And for women who were exposed to testosterone without our consent, the presence of body hair can cause us extreme discomfort. I was inviting you to imagine yourself being exposed to testosterone and seeing the changes it would cause. If you are going to tell me you would be fine with those changes, you’re trans. That’s what I said.
