Of the 15 or so men in my jiu jitsu class, two others shave arms, several more stay manscaped (trimmed body hair but not shaved), then there's me. I keep everything shaved all the time now. Threaded eyebrows too. Love it!. Feels so squeaky clean. Never heard a comment.

In yoga class, I'm usually in girl's tights, ear rings, and a racer top that shows off my shaved underarms. Sometimes a sports bra, but no wig and not trying to pass. Women are totally accepting and I get the occasional man who avoids eye contact but that's all.

YOU GOTTA OWN YOUR SPACE !!! The late David Bowie was wearing dresses 50 years ago. He owned it and so was able it pull it off.

On the other hand, I have come out early to my last several girlfriends. They often find a reason to break it off after that. I have no regrets.
