I’ve been scared if my family will notice me shaving my chest and belly hair and be upset, but like around midnight I just decided I couldn’t wait anymore because it makes me feel so icky, and I just shaved it all off. 😮‍💨

I’ve got some dark speckles from it now and it’s a bit scratchy when you rub it but omg I feel so happy and free and relieved. My belly hair as a whole and especially the so called “happy trail” (it does NOT make me happy 😤), made me feel really bad, especially if I wore anything with a midriff, and now it’s gone and I get to see all the hair in the drain and feel kind of this cathartic hatred victory feeling.

I still feel a little bad with AMAB fat distribution patterns that I’m still shaped like a bit of a chubby guy, but I feel so much prettier now and comfortable and it was so worth the risk of increasing tension. I needed that I just needed something on my side and I’ve got it for a while. And honestly the scratchy feeling just draws attention to “yes, I did it. It’s gone.” Idk how I’ll feel if anything gets ingrown or whatever, I haven’t really shaved much, and I’ve resisted because I don’t want people to notice and get upset, but tonight I was just feeling really bad in my body and I needed it and I feel so nice. 😌

So yeah hopefully HRT gets rid of all the fat on my gut, hopefully it’s easy to maintain the lack of hair here, hopefully nobody notices and if they do the they don’t get mad, and hopefully my body still looks and feels nice. 🥹
