'Sometimes letting my body hair grow out is what makes me feel sexy.'
about the importance of women’s right to choose no matter what influences have shaped the way she presents herself,” Emily wrote in her caption. “Do your thing ladies, whatever it might be.”
Her essay begins with a story about a gender studies class she took at UCLA and how it opened her eyes to queer theory and the difference between sexuality and gender; though Emily says she’d been a “staunch feminist” before, she credits this class with leading her to further examine her identity as a woman.
Emily questioned why she felt uncomfortable with her friend’s remark. “What was negative about being called ‘femme’? I realized then that my feeling was in part because of those countless experiences—experiences in which men and women had told me that if I dressed a certain way I wouldn’t be taken seriously and could even be put in danger,” she wrote. “A middle school teacher’s comment, ‘You can’t expect anyone to respect you,’ echoed through my head.
Emily closed her essay by reiterating how important it is that young women are allowed to choose how they present themselves to the world, especially in the age of social media. “Ultimately, however one decides to represent themselves, whether it be heteronormative or completely unidentifiable, is that person’s personal choice,” Emily wrote. “Give women the opportunity to be whatever they want and as multifaceted as they can be.
