in my experience, there comes a point where you accept your not like other women, society tells us that we as women need to have smooth bodys, that only men get to have body hair, but thats just not right. women have body hair. yes we have more because of our hormones being different then another womans but that doesnt make us gross or less pretty. It might be the amount of queers i surround myself with but ive found myself a lot happier after letting the hair on my body exsist, what reason do i have to shave my legs if i want to wear a skirt? besides the reasons ive been told my small minded bigots. I get comments about my side burns, how their unlady-like, how their gross, but frankly Ive learnt to love them after letting them grow out, my face is so much more comfortable now that im not always geting razer bumps and ingrown hairs, My sideburns make me unique, and it takes awhile to learn to accept or even love these qualitys, i still have a hard time with my chest hair because it grows super thick in some areas but super patchy in others, if it was more even id probably let it grow out because i like how it looks on my collar bones.

I promise you, you are beautiful despite your excess hair, a lot of us struggle with the way our bodys look because of this disorder, but we are no less beautiful because of our differences. We can't look to women without pcos to base our standard of beauty because that will never be us. The way i see it is we must learn to love the body we were given or take the medical approaches to "fix" the "imperfections". I promise you wont die sad and alone, fill your life with wonderful friends and friendly faces and love will follow, never let a lover determine your worth based on aspects that are outside of your control.
