00:00I'm happy that you've got great armpit hair.
00:02Thank you, I love my armpit hair.
00:04I think it's great, but do you think that that's kind of liberating and inspiring young girls?
00:11Because I definitely see that, like I think you, like Miley, is also someone who doesn't shave her armpits.
00:17Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:18And I think it's like really, for young girls who especially grow up with like People magazine and like OK and whatever.
00:26And Porn.
00:27And Porn, and I think it's like really amazing.
00:29This is the way you're meant to look to be sexy.
00:32I think it's amazing that people like you guys are really reverting that.
00:37You just get to do whatever the hell you want to do with your own body because it's your body and it's not property of public domain.
00:43And it's your right and it's your choice to do whatever you want with it.
00:48And I just hope that little girls that see me or see this or see that or you know see a girl who's got a little happy trail or see anything.
00:57It just makes you more human and it makes them feel more human and it makes them feel like I'm allowed to be normal.
01:04I literally grew up embarrassed of the fact that I would grow vagina hair because I was like oh these girls are so pretty.
01:11And do you remember when you like started shaving and you were like is that how it's supposed to look?
01:15Like there's so much self consciousness around who you were.
01:19And then like always wanting to hide and so afraid of like this thing that is literally like the center of femininity.
01:26And not always. I mean if you're trans and you're you know there's all sorts of things.
01:31But to me this guy makes me feel pretty good and I don't want to be ashamed of anything on my body.
01:37Amen.
