Oh my god, only now after reading this do I understand why as a trans guy I had the opposite experience; I shaved my arms on an impulse in elementary school and when I realized how long it was going to take to grow back I was SO EMBARRASSED about the thought that people might notice that I wore a jacket in the summer heat in the south until it grew back.

You're welcome to my remaining hair if you're interested but act fast! I'm starting laser tomorrow ✌🏻

Love that we both ended up choosing to give ourselves heat stroke for opposite but also similar reasons, lol 😅

I bid one billion dollars for all that hair!

In all seriousness, congrats on getting laser tomorrow. Hope all goes well.
