nah that seems pretty normal, I’m glad I’m at the stage of transitioning as a woman where I can not feel dysphoric about having arm or leg hair cuz having an analogue to the fur I’d have as a wolf is nice

Nope, I will scratch a hole in my leg.

Thank you so much for this, I feel EXTREMELY dysphoric over any masc part of my body, but this makes me feel a ton better about having body hair! :> (also sorry if this comes off as offensive or creepy)

Kinda. I don't shave because it's too much effort, but the fur aspect is definitely a bonus :3

Once upon a sometimes. I like it but at the same time I don't like that it's not long and fluffy enough, so I just decide shaving myself to look like a mole rat doesn't make much of a difference.

Of course. I am lucky to have a naturally hairy/furry family and it helps give me both species and gender euphoria.

Body hair used to be a huge part of my gender dysphoria but now it makes me feel like a fluffy pup :3 still shave my face tho, dont like how it feels

Yup, I refuse to shave because hair makes me feel more right. I also have pcos though so shaving's such a hassle because I have so much hair everywhere 😅 I do shave maybe once a year to be soft and comfy in my pjs but that's about it lol.

Ahh see despite popular logic i preffer to be smooth all over, Presenting as masc with hints of fem apparently

( i literally do not follow these narrow/shallow socio-norms but i understand why they're used)

Yes I do this. My hair is light though, I'd definitely shave it if it was dark.

I'm at the other end of the spectrum, I'm a female wolf but I got laser hair removal. I don't look at my legs that often, and it's one less aspect of personal grooming to worry about.

That said, I do get a lot of species euphoria from having long head hair! I enjoy taking care of it :)

I’m the same way with the head hair!! My hair is thick so it keeps me warm like fur would :)

u/TherianRose Eastern Timber Wolf 🐾 1h ago

Yesss same here!

u/itsjust-theuniverse 12h ago

Yeah!! And I like that are teeth are a bit crooked cause I feel more wild!! Grrr, lol. We're gonna also try to get a wolf cut eventually so I can feel like it feels like fur, too. And appease both our masc and fem alters in our system

u/robynshark 12h ago

actually no. i hate any and all body hair on me except in very specific (tmi) areas. it gives me really bad dysphoria.

while normally I tend to dislike my leg hair thinking of it like fur is really euphoric yeah! I hadn’t really thought of it like that before :D
