    Cis people are oblivious. I've shaved my arms multiple times, and nobody has noticed.

    When I was in a kickboxing gym, I would shave my legs. These are people who had seen my hairy ass legs. Nobody said anything or even noticed.

    If they did hypothetically notice, I'd just be like, "oh yeah, I don't really have leg hair" and they would be like, "but I've seen it," and I'd just say "nah, you must be confused. I've never had it" lol. It's okay to gaslight the cissies

    But if you want an excuse... You have a skin condition and the lotion you use to treat it requires you shave

      Did have one time I went to work with one hand painted pink several months ago. Only saw a couple people, but neither said anything. Nor did anyone say anything about my arms being saved that week IIRC. One person did mention my beard being gone though. I still worry about people saying something, so I barely even trim my arms. OTOH, after I trimmed my chest hair, my step-mom asked me about it but that might just be because she already suspected I am trans and was probably trying to ask about that indirectly.

      Also, who knows how many people notice stuff like that and just don't say anything.

        This is probably it. But it's good enough for me.

        My friends are so nice that they don't say anything. Wish they would ask me about it more frankly lol.

        It's like "so you're just not gonna mention I'm wearing a blouse, huh?" Good reaction overall tho
