#EverydayLookism

Story 730

I'm a woman who suffers from hormone imbalances which cause me to grow facial hair. I've been teased about it since school days. The most hurtful instance occurred when my father said to me -in front of my then- boyfriend -"You need to get rid of that hair. No man wants a woman who grows more moustache and beard than he does." He laughed it off, but I was devastated and spent the entire night on the phone crying to my mother. It's been 2 years and I still think about it frequently and ache a bit. I wax often. But I shouldn't have to. My body is disgusting to society. And it saddens me.
