(obviously this only applies if shaving actually aligns with your gender presentation goals etc etc, this is a self-image thing not a callout for people who don't want to or can't)

I remember shaving my body and absolutely loving it well before I figured out I was trans. I wondered to myself why I never did it before. I then proceeded to not do it again for years because of gender expectations. I always felt like it was expected of me to be hairy or have a huge beard or whatever. The prospect of shaving was scary because of that. I didn't want to be singled out due to societal norms. So I didn't do it again for probably 5 or 6 years.
Then COVID happened and I could do it without worry. Because of it, I was able to experiment with all these thoughts I had throughout my life and just express myself the way I always wanted to. And then I realized how much I liked it. And now I am here as I am and I couldn't be happier.
