    I'm a cisgender woman and I shave my arms every month or so. I naturally have very dark hair but am also quite pasty so it's very visible, especially on my arms. It grows back slow af compared to my legs tho so I only need to shave every month

    yea, my arm hair never became finer on E so it's that or grow thick, dark, very visible hairs on my arms.

    I don't because I'm too lazy and I don't get dysphoria from arm hair.

    I did my first couple of years transitioning but I've met so many women who dont and about 4 years ago I stopped. Present yourself how you desire!

    I’m cis but I used to until I worked at a waxing salon.

    I used to have a body hair phobia and would get pretty much my whole body waxed with my employee discount but you need to let the hair regrow to a certain length before you can wax again and it helped me learn to be okay with having hair. Now that I don’t work there I stopped removing my arm hair because I hate shaving and waxing is too expensive.

    There’s lots of women who don’t shave their arms and are pretty hairy. Mary Elizabeth Winstead is someone whose hair I’ve noticed in movies. Ultimately do what makes you feel better, there’s plenty of women who do and don’t shave their arms.

    When I can bother to. I don't like how it feels and when a light source is behind your arms and you see all the little hairs.

    Nope, don't shave anything on any part of me. I only do a quick spot-trim for body hair once it's getting too long for comfort.
