Rina London says they still feel pressured to this day to look a certain way. "I find myself feeling more insecure about having armpit hair when I'm presenting as feminine since I know society has deemed female body hair unattractive," London says. They too initially thought it was "necessary for social approval" to remove their body hair. "As I got older and more acquainted with the queer community, I realized that it's OK to embrace it," they say. "Now, my body hair helps to affirm my gender as someone who identifies as nonbinary."
One of their favorite ways to express themselves is through their eyebrows, which they shave. "I'm not sure what shaving my eyebrows expresses to the rest of the world, but I just think it looks good," they say. "It might express that I don't care what other people think — I'm doing this for me."
