Everyone laughed at the bearded beauty, but one day everything changed.
The heroine of our new story. bearded, which has accepted its imperfection. She could always shave like men do. However, the American does not want to follow the socially imposed ideals of female beauty. What caused this unusual feature of Laray Perkins and how she copes with it, read further in the article.
Instagram / @my_hair_is_me Bearded woman Laray Perkins is 40 years old and nearly half of her life she struggles with a hormonal ailment. When she was 21, doctors diagnosed her with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). This is a hormonal failure, as a result of which the female cycle is disrupted, and the production of male hormones increases. That is why on her face and appeared thick vegetation, which gave the girl a lot of problems.
Instagram/@my_hair_is_me "Who are you?" Boy or girl? Lara has heard this sly question many times. But she never let her potential abusers get their way. She accumulated the negativity coming from people for her own good.
And these are not empty words. An American woman shows other women that a beard is not a terrible thing. It's not the end of the world, the vegetation on a woman's face doesn't make him male. In protest against accepted norms and ideals, Laray does not remove hair from the skin. She wears her beard proudly and says, "Yes, I'm a girl." By the way, Perkins uses this slogan for his own clothing brand.
Instagram / @my_hair_is_me The diagnosis of PCOS was made much later than the time when she first developed symptoms of the disease. Vegetation on the face began to appear at 12 years old, during puberty. Then everything was attributed to a slightly increased amount of male hormones. And when the problems began with the cycle to resolve it, the doctors prescribed the girl COC. But I want to emphasize that this is not a cure for the problem.
About 70-80% of girls with PCOS suffer from excessive facial hair growth. This problem is called hirsutism. When Laray first encountered it, she felt very lonely. She was embarrassed and embarrassed to appear in public. But she was still a teenager and could not stand up for herself.
Instagram / @mercifulphotography Now the American realizes: Her illness is not a sentence.. She accepted her peculiarity. The treatment of PCOS was on pause, since none of the methods of treatment of its subtype of the disease does not work. A woman could do laser hair removal or banal shave. But she doesn't want to spoil her face with these treatments.
Lara has learned to love herself as she is. It wasn’t easy, but people close to her supported her. For many subscribers, the girl became an ideological motivator. It shows that female beauty can be very different. And it is not necessary to typify it, adjusting to the ideals imposed by society.
Instagram / @my_hair_is_me "I'm a bearded woman, but I remain a simple person." I respect myself, I love my flaws. I will not hide to fit into this imperfect world, Laray says. You look at the pictures of this woman and you realize that she is really confident. She doesn't need outside approval. She follows her heart and leads other women. It's priceless!
The heroine of this story sets a good example for accepting yourself. However, I urge you: if you have similar problems, be sure to consult a specialist. Self-medication in this case is unsafe. In addition, it is important to understand that PCOS is a chronic disease. But one way or another we have to fight it.
Instagram / @my_hair_is_me Tell me, did you know about hirsutism? If you had to face this, what would you do?
