dakota1635: I think it’s a little silly that it took me getting some hate on Instagram to decide it was time to share what’s going on in my life, so for that, I apologize. When I was thirteen years old my hormones went a little crazy and I started to grow a beard, ever since then for the past ten years I’ve tried plucking, threading, shaving and waxing to try and make it go away so I would fit in with everyone around me. It was a subject of great shame and pain for me for a very long time, but this year, ten years after the pain began, it ended. With the support of some amazing people, my mom, my girlfriend and my very dear friend, I’ve started to grow my beard out. I don’t expect everyone to understand this decision, but I’ve found it to be freeing and I’ve found that it makes me truly happy. I don’t have to lie about who I am anymore, I don’t have to pretend that the only way to be beautiful is to look like everyone else, because let’s be honest people, what if beauty if not a concept designed by society to try and ensure we all look the same? I’m a bearded lady, I’m not transitioning, I’m 100% female, and I can grow an awesome beard. And if that bothers anyone, feel free to unfollow me. Because I don’t need that kind of person in my life. That little smile looks a little smug. Cute. -- source link
