    body hair is so stupid. Having skin that feels like slik is sooooo overwhelmingly satisfying. (still cis though)

      I think it’s original purpose was to keep us warm, but with the advent of clothing it became more of a irritant.

      Now, I would give anything for it to fall out lol, I feel like Zangief.

        It is actually useful for detecting bugs crawling on your skin. Having them bump into hairs is way more effective than just giving them a free, smooth pass. Sure, we get lots of false positives, but in an evolutionary context where bug bites, venom, and diseases are significantly more dangerous, 100 false positives are worth avoiding the 1 false negative.

      I shaved my beard during the first lockdown to see how it looks (awful) and feeling the air on my hairless face was downright disturbing. Never again.

        Did you trim it down to just a mustache first, like I did? Did you also look like a sex offender with just a mustache like I did?

        Also never again.

        Yeah it can be quite disturbing / awful to see oneself with a babyface. Some can wear it others dont, same with different beard styles.
