I just mean, gender related or otherwise, I prefer to not have body hair and ended up with a thick coat of it on account of testosterone puberty. My body is for me, not other people, so I make the changes to it that I choose.

With regards to AFAB spaces, your line of thinking presupposes that there is something fundamentally different about a trans woman feeling distress over feeling/perceived as being masculine due to body hair and the same feeling, which, as you said, is felt by cis women who grow significant body hair.

It doesn't presuppose that they're different. It says the quiet society part out loud; many of the ciswomen I know don't actually share their fears of being less of a woman out loud very easily, and none of them do it online! There's so much fear and shame wrapped up in it for them.

This is one hypothesis why I've seen other ciswomen, who consider themselves allies, turn TERFy.
